石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯7月5日消息，沙特阿拉伯國有石油巨頭周三表示，公司將下調8月份對亞洲出口的輕質原油價格，因為來自歐佩克其他對手的競爭壓力不斷上升。 沙特阿美表示，公司將把對亞洲出口的超輕原油每桶價格下調90美分，把輕質原油每桶價格下調20美分。與此同時，沙特阿美將維持對美國出口的輕質原油價格不變，把對地中海國家出口的輕質原油價格上調45美分，把對西北歐國家出口的輕質原油價格上調55美分。 原油價格通常在第三季度上漲，以反映季節性需求上升，因為煉油廠在上半年維護作業結束后恢復運作、中東地區用于空調使用率增加導致石油需求上升，以及美國人駕車出行。另外，歐佩克和包括俄羅斯在內的關鍵盟友去年做出的減產決定應能協助沙特提高每桶原油的售價。 但沙特也面臨來自歐佩克其他產油國如利比亞、尼日利亞和伊朗的不斷上升的競爭壓力，因為這些國家不受歐佩克減產協議的約束。 張春曉 摘譯自 道瓊斯 原文如下： Saudi Aramco Cuts Oil Prices In Asia Amid Rising Competition Saudi Arabia’s state-run oil giant said Wednesday it would cut the price of its lighter crude grades to Asia in August, amid rising competition from rival producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Saudi Aramco said it would reduce the charges to its super light crude by 90 cents a barrel and by 20 cents for its light crude. By contrast, it kept its prices for light crude unchanged in the U.S. and increased them by 45 cents in the Mediterranean and by 55 cents in North West Europe. Prices normally rise in the third quarter to reflect higher seasonal demand as refineries restart operations after first-half maintenance; the Middle East burns oil for air conditioning and American drivers hit the road. In addition, a decision by OPEC and key allies such as Russia to tighten the spigots last year should enable Saudi Arabia to charge more for each barrel it sells. But the Kingdom is facing mounting competition from other producers in OPEC, notably Libya, Nigeria and Iran, which are exempted from the group’s output reductions. ?
