據(jù)油氣新聞網(wǎng)7月10日?qǐng)?bào)道，最大的石油出口國(guó)沙特阿拉伯在8月份連續(xù)第二個(gè)月提高了對(duì)亞洲客戶的大部分原油價(jià)格，此前該國(guó)宣布在更廣泛的歐佩克+協(xié)議基礎(chǔ)上延長(zhǎng)額外減產(chǎn)。

國(guó)有石油巨頭沙特阿美在一份聲明中表示，該公司將8月份裝載到亞洲的阿拉伯輕質(zhì)原油的官方售價(jià)較7月份每桶上調(diào)20美分，達(dá)到每桶3.20美元，高于阿曼/迪拜的報(bào)價(jià)。

此次價(jià)格上漲在很大程度上是市場(chǎng)所預(yù)期的，盡管在沙特承諾延長(zhǎng)減產(chǎn)之前，路透社調(diào)查了一些亞洲煉油商，他們預(yù)計(jì)由于煉油利潤(rùn)率低和來(lái)自其他地區(qū)的原油競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，價(jià)格會(huì)下降約50美分。

沙特周一宣布，將把自愿減產(chǎn)的100萬(wàn)桶/日計(jì)劃延長(zhǎng)至8月，并保留進(jìn)一步延長(zhǎng)減產(chǎn)的可能性。

這個(gè)歐佩克+集團(tuán)的實(shí)際領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者在7月份出人意料地承諾每天100萬(wàn)桶后不久，上個(gè)月提高了7月份對(duì)亞洲的石油官方售價(jià)。

考慮到與布倫特和迪拜掛鉤的原油價(jià)格之間的價(jià)差已經(jīng)收窄，沙特石油價(jià)格的上漲將進(jìn)一步打壓亞洲本已微薄的煉油利潤(rùn)率，并促使煉油商從其他中東供應(yīng)商或美國(guó)和西非等地區(qū)尋求替代品。

Saudi Arabia hikes most August oil prices to Asia

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia has raised the prices for most its crude oil to Asian customers in August for a second month, after its announcement of prolonging an extra output cut on top of a broader Opec+ deal.

Saudi Aramco hiked the official selling prices (OSP) for August-loading Arab Light to Asia by 20 cents a barrel from July to $3.20 a barrel over Oman/Dubai quotes, the state oil giant said in a statement.

The price increase was largely anticipated by the market, although some Asian refiners surveyed by Reuters before Saudi Arabia's pledge to extend the production cut were expecting a price cut of about 50 cents amidst poor refining margins and competition with crude from other regions.

Saudi Arabia on Monday announced it would draw out its 1 million barrels-per-day (bpd) voluntary cut to oil production to August and left the door open to extend the trim further.

The de facto leader of the Opec+ group raised its July OSPs to Asia last month shortly after it unexpectedly vowed a 1 million bpd voluntary in July.

The more expensive Saudi oil would further weigh on the thin refining margins in Asia and prompt refiners to seek alternatives from other Middle Eastern suppliers or from regions such as the US and West Africa, considering the spread between Brent- and Dubai-pegged oil has narrowed.
