中國石化新聞網訊 據WENews網站5月21日休斯敦報道,由于美國生產商利用優惠價格向亞洲地區運送原油而歐佩克下周將考慮進一步削減原油供應,裝載大約1000萬桶美國原油的油輪時下正在駛向亞洲的途中。 消息人士說以及湯森路透Eikon的航運數據顯示,至少有8艘滿載美國原油的油輪正在駛向亞洲的途中,其中有一艘油輪裝載著日本煉油企業科斯莫能源公司購買的有史以來第一批美國南綠色峽谷原油貨物。其它裝載首批阿拉斯加北斜坡原油貨物的油輪將在8個月內先后抵達亞洲。 歐佩克成員國下周將開會討論延長全球減產協議,然而,美國供應蠶食他們的市場份額的可能性將是一個挑戰。雖然歐佩克成員國在很大程度上抑制了他們的供應量,但是他們仍一直專注于保持他們在亞洲煉油企業的市場份額。然而,相對便宜的美國原油提振了向亞洲出口。 交易商預計美國5月份原油日出口量可能達到100萬桶左右,其中大部分將運往亞洲。 李峻 編譯自 WENews.com 原文如下: Flotilla of U.S. Crude Heads to Asia as OPEC Weighs Extending Cuts Oil tankers carrying around 10 million barrels of U.S. crude are en route to Asia, according to shipping data and trade sources, as U.S. producers take advantage of favorable prices to ship to the region while OPEC ponders further supply cuts next week. At least eight tankers are in transit, sources said and the shipping data in Thomson Reuters Eikon showed, with one of them carrying the first ever cargo of Southern Green Canyon crude purchased by Japanese refiner Cosmo Energy. Another contains the first Alaskan North Slope cargo to arrive in Asia in eight months. OPEC members meet next week to discuss extending a global supply cut, but the possibility of U.S. supply eating into their market share will be a challenge. While member countries have largely restrained their supply, they have remained intensely focused on keeping market share with Asian refiners. But relatively cheap U.S. crude has buoyed exports to Asia. Traders expect that May U.S. crude exports could reach around 1 million barrels per day, with a sizable portion of that going to Asia.
