石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油卡尔加里和纽约1月13日消息，石油资源丰富的阿尔伯塔省和沙特阿拉伯的产量减产使从墨西哥湾到亚洲的重油炼油商陷入困境。 虽然加拿大省内的限售令推动当地价格升至近10年来的最高水平，但其他等级原油如阿拉伯质原油和路易斯安那重质原油的价格也在飙升。预计沙特在领导全球市场再平衡的努力时，将主要专注于削减重质原油的产量。 达拉斯能源顾问特纳梅森公司执行副总裁约翰·奥尔斯表示：“历史上，当沙特人削减产量时，主要是中重型原油。” 这意味着这种占世界炼油厂供应10%以上的石油，随着委内瑞拉的崩溃已经变得越来越稀缺，可能会更难获得。全球一半以上的重质原油是在美国加工的。 在加拿大，自上个月阿尔伯塔省省长雷切尔·诺特要求从1月开始每天减产325000桶以缓解石油管道的紧张状况以来，重质原油价格自上个月以来一直在飙升。加拿大西部原油期货周五较西德克萨斯中质轻质原油仅折价6.95美元，为近10年来最小价差，且不足以抵补运往美国墨西哥湾的铁路或多数管道运输成本。这比10月份高达50美元的价格有所下降。 与此同时，欧佩克最大产油国沙特阿拉伯在去年12月将原油日产量削减了近50万桶，由于欧佩克及其盟友在去年底油价暴跌达成将日产量削减120万桶协议后，预计本月出口量将大幅下滑。 重质路易斯安那原油的交易价格通常低于轻质路易斯安那的原油，而但上周五却出现了45美分的溢价，为3月份以来的最大溢价。沙特阿拉伯将其阿拉伯重质原油2月份对美国的官方售价设定为比阿格斯酸原油指数高出50%，这是至少10年来的首次溢价。 曹海斌 摘译自 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.
