石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯5月22日新加坡报道，在亚洲石脑油市场疲弱的情况下，现货产品的现金差额较低，这促使几家韩国烯烃生产商提前订购原料。
据与该公司关系密切的消息人士周二证实，乐天化工和Yeochun NCC 都已在5月13日至17日的一周内已确定了2019年8月至2020年7月间要交付的石蜡石脑油。
YeochunNCC已签署了石蜡含量至少70%的石脑油的一年合同，溢价为每吨1.00美元，与普氏日本石脑油物理CFR的平均水平相当，而乐天化工已在类似的溢价范围内签订了合同。
然而，这两家公司的采购总量仍未得到证实。但普遍认为，INCC在合同中签订了约30万吨，或大约每月交付一批中等量的货物。
由于该地区供过于求，CFR韩国现货石蜡石脑油的现金差额已跌至今年的最低点，至-1.75美元/吨，与普氏日本石脑油周二的平均水平持平。

South Korea end-users seal term naphtha supply amid weak spot market
Low cash differentials for spot cargoes against a backdrop of weak Asian naphtha complex have prompted a few South Korean olefins producers to secure feedstocks ahead for the year.
Both Lotte Chemical and Yeochun NCC have secured paraffinic naphtha supply for delivery over August 2019-July 2020 during the week of May 13-17, sources close to the company confirmed Tuesday.
Yeochun NCC has inked the one-year contract for minimum 70% paraffin content naphtha at a premium of $1.00/mt to the Mean of Platts Japan naphtha physical, CFR basis, while Lotte Chemical has sealed the contract around a similar premium.
The total volume procured by both companies, however could not be /confirm/ied. But it was widely believed that YNCC secured around 300,000 mt in the contract, or around one Medium Range cargo to be delivered each month.
Cash differentials for CFR Korea spot paraffinic naphtha cargoes have slumped to the weakest point this year, at minus $1.75/mt to the Mean of Platts Japan naphtha physical Tuesday, amid a supply overhang in the region.
