石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯新加坡1月18日消息，在轻质和重质石脑油需求疲软以及原油市场走强的情况下，本周亚洲基准的CFR日本石脑油对布伦特原油期货的裂解价差徘徊在接近五个月的低点水平。 周三收盘时，CFR日本石脑油现货对3月交割的布伦特原油期货的裂解价差为每吨83.825美元，周二收盘时为每吨83.55美元。 该价差的近期低点为去年的8月28日，当时价差为每吨83.35美元。 去年11月10日亚洲石脑油裂解价差触及每吨122.95美元的两年高点，因为当时北亚买家们纷纷在年度假期前购买石脑油，1月初该价差暴跌，因为汽油调和需求回落。 亚洲过去五个交易日近月布伦特原油期货合约的平均价为每桶69.41美元，远高于11上半月每桶62.59美元的均值，这收窄了石脑油的利润。 两位消息人士们指出当前北亚石脑油买家们已经采取等待观望姿态，因为他们在检修前没有实际需求。 日本东曹公司四日石脑油裂解装置和昭和电工大分石脑油裂解装置以及韩国GS Caltex公司丽水石脑油分离塔将于3月份停车进行年度检修。 唐绍红 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下： Asian naphtha cracks at near 5-month low on weaker demand, firmer crude The benchmark CFR Japan naphtha crack against ICE Brent futures is hovering at close to a five-month low this week amid faltering demand for both light and heavy grades and strength in underlying crude markers. The crack value of CFR Japan physical naphtha against March ICE Brent futures stood at $83.825/mt at Wednesday’s close and at $83.550/mt Tuesday, S&P Global Platts data showed. It was lower on August 28 last year at $83.350/mt. The cracks for the second line trading cycle hit a two-year high of $122.95/mt November 10 when North Asian buyers rushed to buy naphtha ahead of year-end holidays, before slumping in early January as demand for gasoline blending waned. Front-month ICE Brent futures have averaged $69.41/b over the past five trading sessions in Asia, up sharply from $62.59/b over the first half of November, narrowing the cracks margin. Two sources said North Asian naphtha buyers had adopted a wait-and-see approach at present as they had no real requirements ahead of scheduled turnarounds. In Japan, Tosoh Corp.’s naphtha-fed steam cracker in Yokkaichi and Showa Denko’s naphtha-fed steam cracker in Oita, and in South Korea GS Caltex’s naphtha splitter in Yeosu, are due to undergo annual maintenance around March.
