據美國油價網2022年1月26日報道，煉油行業消息人士本周對路透社的一項調查表示，由于需求強勁，且煉油利潤率較高，全球最大的石油出口國沙特阿拉伯預計將在下個月上調3月份其在亞洲銷售的所有原油的官方售價。  

沙特阿拉伯通常在2月2日的歐佩克+月度會議之后在每個月的5號左右設定下個月原油的官方銷售價格。  

7名煉油行業消息人士周二和周三對路透社進行的突擊調查作出的答復顯示，沙特阿拉伯預計將上調3月份在亞洲銷售的所有原油的官方售價。

然而，亞洲煉油行業消息人士對路透社表示，由于中東地區對亞洲原油定價的基準較高，在奧密克戎變體浪潮中的需求強勁，以及航空燃油和汽油的煉油利潤率增加，預計3月份沙特阿拉伯的官方售價將會增加。

消息人士補充稱，3月份在亞洲市場銷售的沙特阿拉伯旗艦原油阿拉伯輕質原油，可能比2月價格每桶上調約0.60美元。

今年2月份，沙特將阿拉伯輕質原油在亞洲的售價比阿曼/迪拜基準價格每桶低1.10美元，至2.20美元。中東對亞洲的出口原油的價格均低于此基準價格。 

路透社的煉油消息人士預計，3月份阿拉伯輕質原油價格將比2月份每桶上漲0.45 - 0.80美元，比阿曼/迪拜基準價格每桶高出2.65 - 3.00美元。  

煉油消息人士對路透社表示，航空燃油和汽油利潤率上升，暗示著輕質原油的價格漲幅可能高于重質原油的漲幅。

Saudi Arabia Expected To Raise March Oil Prices On Robust Demand  

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, is expected to lift the official selling prices of all its crude grades sold in Asia next month on the back of solid demand and refining margins, refining sources told a Reuters survey this week.

Saudi Arabia usually sets the official selling prices (OSPs) of its crude for the following month around the fifth of each month, typically after the monthly OPEC+ meeting, which is scheduled for February 2.

The Kingdom is expected to increase all its prices for Asia for March, seven refining sources told Reuters in a flash survey on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Expectations for March, however, are for an increase in the Saudi OSPs, due to higher Middle East benchmarks off which the crude going to Asia is priced, resilient demand in the Omicron wave, and strengthened refining margins for jet fuel and gasoil, the Asian refining sources told Reuters.

Saudi Arabia’s flagship Arab Light crude grade for the Asian market in March could be lifted by around $0.60 per barrel from the February price, the sources added.

For February, the Saudis had reduced the price of Arab Light for Asia by $1.10 a barrel to $2.20 per barrel over the Oman/Dubai benchmark, off which Middle Eastern exports to Asia are being priced.

For March, Reuters’ refining sources expect the price of Arab Light to rise by between $0.45 and $0.80 per barrel from the February price to a premium of $2.65 to $3.00 a barrel over Oman/Dubai.

Stronger jet fuel and gasoil margins suggest that the lighter grades could see higher price hikes than the heavier crude varieties, the refining sources told Reuters.
