石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社3月5日报道称，原油贸易商和消息人士对该社表示，阿塞拜疆国有石油公司SOCAR正在提高其在土耳其新炼油厂的产量，并积极为该炼油厂购买含硫原油，进一步收紧地中海和欧洲已然吃紧的含硫原油市场。 熟悉该炼油厂启动情况的消息人士告诉路透社，SOCAR的炼油厂STAR的设计处理能力为20万桶/日，目前已达到计划产能的一半。 该炼油厂下个月可以达到满负荷运转，在地中海和欧洲的含硫和重质原油供应趋紧之际，SOCAR正在积极购买俄罗斯的乌拉尔含硫原油等级。 欧佩克减产以及美国对委内瑞拉和伊朗的制裁限制了重质和含硫原油等级在欧洲的供应。在欧洲，包括俄罗斯乌拉尔在内的含硫和重质等级价格最近因市场日益紧缩而飙升。 美国对伊朗的制裁已经限制了部分重质等级进入欧洲。随着欧佩克/非欧佩克在1月开始的新一轮减产，伊拉克的巴士拉轻质和重质 – 通常在欧洲炼油厂中非常受欢迎 – 在欧洲的现货市场上供应短缺，因为伊拉克正在转移更多的巴士拉原油到中东产油国的优质市场：亚洲。 徐蕾 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Sour Crude Oil Market To Tighten Further in Mediterranean Azerbaijan’s state oil firm SOCAR is ramping up production at its new refinery in Turkey and is actively buying sour crude grades for the facility, additionally tightening the already tight sour crude market in the Mediterranean and Europe, crude traders and sources tell Reuters. SOCAR’s oil refinery STAR is designed to have a processing capacity of 200,000 bpd, and it has already reached half that planned capacity, sources familiar with the refinery start-up told Reuters. Full capacity could be reached as soon as next month, and SOCAR is actively buying Russia’s Urals sour crude grade at a time when supply of sour and heavy crudes in the Mediterranean and Europe is tightening. OPEC’s production cuts and the U.S. sanctions on Venezuela and Iran have been limiting the availability of heavy and sour crude grades to Europe, where prices for sour and heavier grades, including Russia’s Urals, have recently shot up amid an increasingly tightening market. The U.S. sanctions on Iran had already limited some of the heavy grade supply into Europe. Then with the new round of OPEC/non-OPEC cuts that began in January, Iraq’s Basra Light and Heavy—typically very popular among European refiners—have also been in short supply on the spot market in Europe as Iraq is diverting more barrels of Basra to the premium market for Middle Eastern producers: Asia.
