石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據世界石油網站2月20日卡爾加里報道 重質加拿大原油價格擴大至今年對紐約期貨的最大折扣，因為管道運營商Enbridge報告稱，其重質原油管道的配給將在下個月增加。 據彭博社匯編的數據顯示，加拿大西部精選原油（Western Canadian Select）周二的交易價格比西德克薩斯中質期貨低15美元/桶，比上周五高出1.50美元，是今年最大的折扣。 Enbridge表示，通過其干線（加拿大最大的石油出口管道系統）的重油管道運輸的原油將從2月份的39%增加到3月份的41%，折扣擴大。該系統將石油從艾伯塔省輸送到威斯康星州的蘇必利爾（Superior），并在那里與美國海灣沿岸的煉油廠相連。 自從省政府在1月和2月宣布強制性減產之后（總計32.5萬桶/日），該系統的管道配給幾乎沒有變化。 加拿大重油價格在宣布減產后上漲，加拿大西部精選原油對期貨的折扣在上個月降至低于7美元/桶。價格的飆升使得用火車運輸原油，這是一種更昂貴的管道替代品，并不經濟，而且火車運輸量較低，整列原油的運輸成本在15到20美元/桶之間。 周二，艾伯塔省總理Rachel Notley宣布，政府計劃在明年之前租賃鐵路車輛，屆時鐵路運輸量將達到12萬桶/日。Rachel Notley表示，政府預計在削減開支后，加拿大原油折扣“將很快恢復鐵路經濟”。 王磊 摘譯自 世界石油 原文如下： Source: Canadian heavy crude slips as pipeline rationing set to rise Heavy Canadian crude prices widened to the biggest discount against New York futures this year as pipeline-operator Enbridge reported that rationing on its heavy oil lines would increase next month. Western Canadian Select, an oil sands benchmark, traded at $15/bbl below West Texas Intermediate futures Tuesday, $1.50 wider than on Friday and the biggest discount this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The discount widened as Enbridge said that crude shipments through the heavy oil pipelines of its Mainline, which is the largest Canadian oil export pipeline system, would be apportioned 41% in March, up from 39% in February. The system carries oil from Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, where it connects to other lines linked to refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast. Pipeline rationing on the system has barely budged since the provincial government announced mandatory production curtailments totaling 325,000 bpd in January and February, which were later reduced. Canadian heavy oil prices surged after the cuts were announced, with WCS’s discount to futures shrinking to less than $7/bbl last month. The price surge made shipping the crude by rail cars, a more expensive alternative to pipelines, uneconomical and shipments on trains declined. Shipping full train of crude can cost between $15 and $20/bbl. On Tuesday, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley announced government plans to lease rail cars that will ship 120,000 bpd by next year. She said her government anticipates that the Canadian crude discount “will get back to rail economics very soon” after curtailments were reduced. ?
