石油设备网讯 据World Oil网新加坡5月10 日消息 亚洲各地的炼油商正在竞购从阿布扎比到阿曼的原油以弥补损失。
7月在周五在普氏运营的电子交易平台上,穆尔班(Murban)和Das等级别的货物以高于官方售价0.80美元至0.85美元/桶的价格出价。根据相关数据,这将是至少三年内最高的现货差异。
Upper Zakum原油也以0.65美元的溢价收购,而Umm Lulu以0.95美元的溢价换手。即使阿布扎比国家石油公司本周早些时候提高了原油的官方价格,也出现了更高的出价。
由于高硫原油供应收紧,全球最大石油进口地区的买家纷纷争抢石油。对俄罗斯和尼日利亚流动的无计划中断以及利比亚境内的战斗可能影响石油出口的担忧也促成了货物安全的热情。
阿曼原油期货价格上涨至3.10美元/桶,高于迪拜石油的掉期价格,迪拜石油是中东的基准品位。这是9月份以来的最高溢价。
迪拜基准原油和布伦特原油(全球一半以上石油供应的标志)之间的大幅折价,也促使人们对中东原油价格产生浓厚兴趣。周五迪拜对布伦特原油期货的折价超过3美元/桶,接近七个月以来的最高水平。

Middle East oil grab hits fever pitch as supply squeeze persists
Oil refiners across Asia are bidding up crude prices from Abu Dhabi to Oman as they compete for supplies to make up for lost.
July-loading cargoes of grades such as Murban and Das were bid at premiums of $0.80 to $0.85/bbl above the official selling price on Friday on an electronic trading platform operated by S&P Global Platts. That would be the highest spot differentials in at least three years for the grades, according to data .
Upper Zakum crude was also bid at a $0.65 premium, while Umm Lulu changed hands at a $0.95 premium. The higher bids came even after Abu Dhabi National Oil hiked the official price of its crude earlier this week.
Buyers across the world’s top oil-importing region are scrambling for oil as U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela tighten supplies of high-sulfur crude that their refineries are designed to process.
Unplanned disruptions to Russian and Nigerian flows and concerns that fighting in Libya could affect oil exports also contributed to the fervor to secure cargoes.
Oman crude futures climbed to a premium of $3.10/bbl over swaps for Dubai oil, the benchmark grade for the Middle East. That’s its highest premium since September, when markets were spooked.
A wide discount between the Dubai benchmark and Brent, the marker for more than half the world’s oil supplies, is also contributing to the strong interest for Middle Eastern grades. Dubai’s discount to Brent futures was more than $3/bbl on Friday, near the highest level in seven months.
