石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据《石油世界》10月23日纽约报道，洲际交易所（ICE）表示，其可在得克萨斯州休斯敦交付的新的二叠纪西德克萨斯中质原油（WTI）期货合同在周一开始交易。 ICE在一份声明中说，交易月将是12月，而合同将在麦哲伦中游合作伙伴有限公司旗下位于休斯顿东部的终端交付。 洲际交易所周一公布了36个月的统一价格二叠纪WTI合同和差期组合以及休斯顿合同对布伦特原油和休斯顿合同对WTI原油的大宗商品之间的价差。 美国主要期货合同自上世纪80年代初启动以来一直是在俄克拉荷马州库欣的仓储中心交付。 然而，在美国政府解除长达数十年的原油出口禁令以后，美国原油出口大幅增加，从而使得墨西哥湾沿岸市场的流动性增强，成为产油商争相出口原油的目的地。 ICE在一份声明中说：“休斯顿已成为美国原油生产和出口的定价中心，新的二叠纪WTI原油期货合同旨在为这个不断增长的市场提供对冲和交易机会。” 李峻 编译自 石油世界 原文如下： A new WTI future contract started trading on Monday in the ICE exchange Intercontinental Exchange Inc said its new Permian West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures contract deliverable in Houston, Texas, will begin trading on Monday.
The trade month will be December and the contract will be deliverable at Magellan Midstream Partners LP’s East Houston terminal, ICE said in a statement.
On Monday, ICE will list 36 months of flat-price Permian WTI contracts and calendar spreads, as well as inter-commodity spreads for the Houston contract versus Brent and the Houston contract versus WTI.
The primary U.S. futures contract is delivered at the storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, as has been the case since the contract was started in the early 1980s.
However, U.S. crude exports have surged after Washington lifted a decades-long ban, making Gulf Coast markets liquid and the sought-after destination for producers to send their barrels.
“Houston has become the pricing center for U.S. crude oil production and exports, and the new Permian WTI futures contract is designed to serve hedging and trading opportunities in this growing market,” ICE said in a statement.
