石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據《khaleej times》海灣時報7月7日消息，上周五，由于加拿大供應中斷支撐了美國原油價格，原油價格漲跌互現，而石油輸出國組織(Opec，歐佩克)最大石油出口國沙特阿拉伯的石油產量增加，推動布倫特原油價格走低。
美國原油期貨上漲86美分，至每桶73.80美元，漲幅1.2%。全球基準布倫特原油價格下跌28美分，收于每桶77.11美元。
本周,西德克薩斯中質原油期貨周二觸及3年高位后損失了大約0.5%,而布倫特損失了約百分之三。美國原油后看漲周四公布的官方數據顯示在庫欣庫存,交貨點美國原油期貨跌至三年半以來的最低水平。
此前，加拿大一家大型油砂設施發生故障，導致地區供應中斷。過去一個月，加拿大Syncrude設施每天供應36萬桶原油，導致美國原油與布倫特原油的折扣大幅降低。
從6月初的11.57美元下降到上周五的5.54美元。
Lipow Associates總裁Andrew Lipow表示:“我們繼續看到——我預計這一趨勢將持續下去——7月份Cushing的原油庫存將繼續下降，導致輕質原油市場非常緊張?！奔幽么骃yncrude的停產加劇了這一局面，導致中西部地區對供應的爭奪。我預計至少在未來幾周，布蘭特-西德克薩斯中質原油的價差將會縮小。
布倫特原油的價格受到了沙特和俄羅斯增產預期的壓力，這一預期影響了歐洲和亞洲。布倫特原油是歐洲和亞洲的基準，比美國原油價格主導的市場更為重要。
沙特阿拉伯對石油輸出國組織(opec，簡稱:歐佩克)表示，上月該國石油日產量增加了近50萬桶。
歐佩克及其盟友本月早些時候同意小幅增產，以抑制油價上漲。

Oil was mixed on Friday as a Canadian supply outage supported US crude prices, while an increase in production from Opec’s biggest exporter Saudi Arabia pushed Brent lower.
US crude futures gained 86 cents, or 1.2 per cent, to settle at $73.80 a barrel. Global benchmark Brent slipped 28 cents to settle at $77.11 a barrel.
For the week, WTI futures lost about 0.5 per cent after hitting a three-and-a-half-year high on Tuesday, while Brent lost about three per cent. US crude was bullish after official data on Thursday showed inventories at Cushing, the delivery point for US crude futures, fell to their lowest in three-and-a-half years.
That came after an outage at a major Canadian oil sands facility cut regional supply. The outage at the 360,000 barrels per day (bpd) Syncrude facility in Canada has contributed to a sharp reduction in the discount for US crude versus Brent crude over the past month.
The discount has halved to $5.54 a barrel on Friday from $11.57 in early June.
“We’re continuing to see – and I expect the trend will continue – lower inventories in Cushing in July, resulting in a very tight light sweet crude market,” said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Associates. “That has been exacerbated by the Canadian Syncrude outage which has resulted in a scramble for supplies in the Midwest. I do expect that at least over the next few weeks, the Brent-WTI spread is going to narrow.”
Brent was being pressured by expectations for higher Saudi and Russia production, which impacts Europe and Asia, where Brent is the benchmark, more than markets dominated by US crude prices.
Saudi Arabia told the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries that it increased production by almost 500,000 barrels per day last month.
Opec and its allies agreed earlier this month to a modest increase in output to dampen the oil price rally, which hit a three-and-a-half year high.
