石油设备网讯 据道琼斯1月26日消息，今日的石油交易模式再次显示，美国基准原油WTI的涨幅超过了全球基准布伦特原油的涨幅，这正在缩小WTI和布伦特原油之间的折价，并令美国原油出口商面临更大的困难。在去年下半年的大部分时间里，WTI价格比布伦特原油低6至7美元，这使得美国页岩油和其他原油生产商在2017年平均每日出口近100万桶原油，而2016年平均每日的出口量不足50万桶。但目前的两者之间的价差仅为4.40美元，为5个月以来的最低水平。这一差异仍足以覆盖亚洲等地区的航运成本，但幅度并不大。

US Oil's Discount to Global Oil Shrinks
Oil-trading patterns today again shows the US benchmark WTI gaining more than the global benchmark Brent, which is shrinking the WTI discount and making things more difficult for exporters of US-produced crude oil. WTI was about $6-$7 cheaper per barrel than Brent for most of the second half of last year, which allowed US shale and other producers to export nearly 1M bpd on average in 2017 vs less than 500k in 2016. But the spread now is just $4.40, the lowest in about five months. That difference could still be enough to cover shipping costs to places like Asia, but not by much.
