石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯7月5日消息，沙特阿拉伯国有石油巨头周三表示，公司将下调8月份对亚洲出口的轻质原油价格，因为来自欧佩克其他对手的竞争压力不断上升。 沙特阿美表示，公司将把对亚洲出口的超轻原油每桶价格下调90美分，把轻质原油每桶价格下调20美分。与此同时，沙特阿美将维持对美国出口的轻质原油价格不变，把对地中海国家出口的轻质原油价格上调45美分，把对西北欧国家出口的轻质原油价格上调55美分。 原油价格通常在第三季度上涨，以反映季节性需求上升，因为炼油厂在上半年维护作业结束后恢复运作、中东地区用于空调使用率增加导致石油需求上升，以及美国人驾车出行。另外，欧佩克和包括俄罗斯在内的关键盟友去年做出的减产决定应能协助沙特提高每桶原油的售价。 但沙特也面临来自欧佩克其他产油国如利比亚、尼日利亚和伊朗的不断上升的竞争压力，因为这些国家不受欧佩克减产协议的约束。 张春晓 摘译自 道琼斯 原文如下： Saudi Aramco Cuts Oil Prices In Asia Amid Rising Competition Saudi Arabia’s state-run oil giant said Wednesday it would cut the price of its lighter crude grades to Asia in August, amid rising competition from rival producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Saudi Aramco said it would reduce the charges to its super light crude by 90 cents a barrel and by 20 cents for its light crude. By contrast, it kept its prices for light crude unchanged in the U.S. and increased them by 45 cents in the Mediterranean and by 55 cents in North West Europe. Prices normally rise in the third quarter to reflect higher seasonal demand as refineries restart operations after first-half maintenance; the Middle East burns oil for air conditioning and American drivers hit the road. In addition, a decision by OPEC and key allies such as Russia to tighten the spigots last year should enable Saudi Arabia to charge more for each barrel it sells. But the Kingdom is facing mounting competition from other producers in OPEC, notably Libya, Nigeria and Iran, which are exempted from the group’s output reductions.
