對(duì)需求的擔(dān)憂再次加劇 油價(jià)下跌

據(jù)10月12日FX Empire報(bào)道，隨著墨西哥灣的關(guān)閉和挪威的罷工結(jié)束，石油產(chǎn)量恢復(fù)，受新冠肺炎疫情影響的低需求狀態(tài)再次浮現(xiàn)。美國(guó)西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油(West Texas Intermediate)和國(guó)際基準(zhǔn)布倫特(Brent)原油期貨價(jià)格周一走低，似乎有可能連續(xù)第二個(gè)交易日下跌1%。

格林威治時(shí)間9點(diǎn)13分，12月WTI原油價(jià)格為每桶40.34美元，下跌0.57美元，跌幅1.39%，12月布倫特原油價(jià)格為42.33美元，下跌0.52美元，跌幅1.21%。

挪威石油公司上周五與工會(huì)官員達(dá)成了一項(xiàng)工資協(xié)議，結(jié)束了為期10天的罷工。這場(chǎng)罷工可能會(huì)使挪威本周的石油和天然氣產(chǎn)量減少近25%。

與此同時(shí)，颶風(fēng)“德爾塔”在對(duì)美國(guó)墨西哥灣近海能源生產(chǎn)造成了15年來最大的打擊后，上周末被降級(jí)為后熱帶氣旋。工人們周日回到了生產(chǎn)平臺(tái)，道達(dá)爾公司正在重啟其位于德克薩斯州亞瑟港的煉油廠，該煉油廠日產(chǎn)量為22.55萬(wàn)桶。

不過，該公司周日表示，颶風(fēng)導(dǎo)致電力中斷，該公司不得不關(guān)閉其主要餾分油管道，值得注意的是，該管道是美國(guó)最大的石油產(chǎn)品管道。

此外，貝克休斯周五公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國(guó)能源企業(yè)上周連續(xù)第四周增加石油鉆井平臺(tái)數(shù)量。隨著上周日Sharara油田的不可抗力解除，該油田所在的歐佩克成員國(guó)的石油日產(chǎn)量預(yù)計(jì)將在周一升至35.5萬(wàn)桶。

Oil Prices Slip after Norway Oil Worker Strike Ends

Oil prices are slipping in anticipation of a boost in crude oil output after oil workers ended their strike in Norway. Norwegian oil firms struck a wage bargain with labor union officials on Friday, ending a 10-day strike that had threatened to cut the country’s oil and gas output by close to 25% this week.

Hurricane Delta Shuts Most US Offshore Oil Output in 15 Years

Hurricane Delta, which dealt the greatest blow to U.S. Gulf of Mexico energy production in 15 years, was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone at the weekend. Workers headed back to production platforms on Sunday, and Total SA was working to restart its 225,500 barrel-per-day Port Arthur, Texas refinery.

Colonial Pipeline, the largest oil products pipeline in the United States, had to shut its main distillate fuel line, however, after the hurricane disrupted power, the company said on Sunday.
