石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據世界石油卡爾加里和紐約1月13日消息，石油資源豐富的阿爾伯塔省和沙特阿拉伯的產量減產使從墨西哥灣到亞洲的重油煉油商陷入困境。 雖然加拿大省內的限售令推動當地價格升至近10年來的最高水平，但其他等級原油如阿拉伯質原油和路易斯安那重質原油的價格也在飆升。預計沙特在領導全球市場再平衡的努力時，將主要專注于削減重質原油的產量。 達拉斯能源顧問特納梅森公司執行副總裁約翰·奧爾斯表示：“歷史上，當沙特人削減產量時，主要是中重型原油?！?這意味著這種占世界煉油廠供應10%以上的石油，隨著委內瑞拉的崩潰已經變得越來越稀缺，可能會更難獲得。全球一半以上的重質原油是在美國加工的。 在加拿大，自上個月阿爾伯塔省省長雷切爾·諾特要求從1月開始每天減產325000桶以緩解石油管道的緊張狀況以來，重質原油價格自上個月以來一直在飆升。加拿大西部原油期貨周五較西德克薩斯中質輕質原油僅折價6.95美元，為近10年來最小價差，且不足以抵補運往美國墨西哥灣的鐵路或多數管道運輸成本。這比10月份高達50美元的價格有所下降。 與此同時，歐佩克最大產油國沙特阿拉伯在去年12月將原油日產量削減了近50萬桶，由于歐佩克及其盟友在去年底油價暴跌達成將日產量削減120萬桶協議后，預計本月出口量將大幅下滑。 重質路易斯安那原油的交易價格通常低于輕質路易斯安那的原油，而但上周五卻出現了45美分的溢價，為3月份以來的最大溢價。沙特阿拉伯將其阿拉伯重質原油2月份對美國的官方售價設定為比阿格斯酸原油指數高出50%，這是至少10年來的首次溢價。 曹海斌 摘譯自 世界石油 原文如下： Saudi and Canadian cuts are leaving world hungry for heavy crude Output cuts in oil-rich Alberta and Saudi Arabia are combining to leave heavy-crude refiners from the Gulf of Mexico to Asia in a bind. While curtailments in the Canadian province have propelled local prices to their strongest level in almost a decade, other grades like Arab Heavy and Heavy Louisiana Sweet are also surging. The Saudis are expected to largely focus on paring output of heavy crude as they lead efforts to rebalance the global market. “Historically, when the Saudis have cut output, it’s heavy and medium crude,” said John Auers, executive V.P. at energy consultant Turner Mason & Co. in Dallas. This means the type of oil that accounts for more than 10% of the world’s refinery supplies, already growing scarce with Venezuela’s collapse, will probably be even harder to come by. More than half of the world’s heavy crude is processed in the U.S. In Canada, heavy-crude prices have surged since last month when Alberta Premier Rachel Notley mandated a production curtailment of 325,000 barrels a day starting in January to alleviate a pipeline crunch. Western Canadian Select traded at a discount of just $6.95 to West Texas Intermediate light crude on Friday, the smallest gap in almost a decade and not big enough to cover the cost of rail or most pipeline shipments to the U.S. Gulf Coast. That’s down from as much as $50 in October. Meanwhile, OPEC’s top producer Saudi Arabia curtailed its crude outflows by nearly 500,000 bpd in December and exports are expected to tumble more this month because of an agreement by OPEC and its allies to reduce production by 1.2 MMbpd after oil prices collapsed late last year. Heavy Louisiana Sweet, which normally trades at a discount to Light Louisiana Sweet, was instead trading at 45 cent premium on Friday, the biggest premium since March. Saudi Arabia set the official selling price for its Arab Heavy grade for February to the U.S. at a 50 cent premium to the Argus Sour Crude Index, the first premium in at least 10 years. ?
