石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据《khaleej times》海湾时报7月7日消息，上周五，由于加拿大供应中断支撑了美国原油价格，原油价格涨跌互现，而石油输出国组织(Opec，欧佩克)最大石油出口国沙特阿拉伯的石油产量增加，推动布伦特原油价格走低。
美国原油期货上涨86美分，至每桶73.80美元，涨幅1.2%。全球基准布伦特原油价格下跌28美分，收于每桶77.11美元。
本周,西德克萨斯中质原油期货周二触及3年高位后损失了大约0.5%,而布伦特损失了约百分之三。美国原油后看涨周四公布的官方数据显示在库欣库存,交货点美国原油期货跌至三年半以来的最低水平。
此前，加拿大一家大型油砂设施发生故障，导致地区供应中断。过去一个月，加拿大Syncrude设施每天供应36万桶原油，导致美国原油与布伦特原油的折扣大幅降低。
从6月初的11.57美元下降到上周五的5.54美元。
Lipow Associates总裁Andrew Lipow表示:“我们继续看到——我预计这一趋势将持续下去——7月份Cushing的原油库存将继续下降，导致轻质原油市场非常紧张。”加拿大Syncrude的停产加剧了这一局面，导致中西部地区对供应的争夺。我预计至少在未来几周，布兰特-西德克萨斯中质原油的价差将会缩小。
布伦特原油的价格受到了沙特和俄罗斯增产预期的压力，这一预期影响了欧洲和亚洲。布伦特原油是欧洲和亚洲的基准，比美国原油价格主导的市场更为重要。
沙特阿拉伯对石油输出国组织(opec，简称:欧佩克)表示，上月该国石油日产量增加了近50万桶。
欧佩克及其盟友本月早些时候同意小幅增产，以抑制油价上涨。

Oil was mixed on Friday as a Canadian supply outage supported US crude prices, while an increase in production from Opec’s biggest exporter Saudi Arabia pushed Brent lower.
US crude futures gained 86 cents, or 1.2 per cent, to settle at $73.80 a barrel. Global benchmark Brent slipped 28 cents to settle at $77.11 a barrel.
For the week, WTI futures lost about 0.5 per cent after hitting a three-and-a-half-year high on Tuesday, while Brent lost about three per cent. US crude was bullish after official data on Thursday showed inventories at Cushing, the delivery point for US crude futures, fell to their lowest in three-and-a-half years.
That came after an outage at a major Canadian oil sands facility cut regional supply. The outage at the 360,000 barrels per day (bpd) Syncrude facility in Canada has contributed to a sharp reduction in the discount for US crude versus Brent crude over the past month.
The discount has halved to $5.54 a barrel on Friday from $11.57 in early June.
“We’re continuing to see – and I expect the trend will continue – lower inventories in Cushing in July, resulting in a very tight light sweet crude market,” said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Associates. “That has been exacerbated by the Canadian Syncrude outage which has resulted in a scramble for supplies in the Midwest. I do expect that at least over the next few weeks, the Brent-WTI spread is going to narrow.”
Brent was being pressured by expectations for higher Saudi and Russia production, which impacts Europe and Asia, where Brent is the benchmark, more than markets dominated by US crude prices.
Saudi Arabia told the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries that it increased production by almost 500,000 barrels per day last month.
Opec and its allies agreed earlier this month to a modest increase in output to dampen the oil price rally, which hit a three-and-a-half year high.
