石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社纽约9月6日报道，被飓风哈维损坏的工厂加剧了对炼油厂原油的需求，原油价格接近四周高点。 纽约股市期货上涨1.4%，与此同时，汽油价格连续三天下跌，跌幅达23%。 Motiva Enterprises LLC在休斯敦以东90米的炼油厂，它比其他任何北美工厂生产的原油都要多，在几天内就有望赶上其正常工作速度的40%。 当哈维关闭德克萨斯州各大主要港口时，数十艘滞留在海上的油轮开始向原油运送原油，这些炼油厂上周处于干涸的危险之中。 多伦多道明证券(TD Securities)全球大宗商品策略主管巴特•米勒克(Bart Melek)在电话中表示，海湾地区炼油厂的重启“意味着我们不会因为某些人的想法而获得石油库存的巨大积累。” 据晨星公司的石油和产品研究总监Sandy Fielden表示，Harvey在短短48小时内就砍掉了20％以上的炼油能力。 在8月25日登陆之前，飓风还关闭了管道、港口和海上平台。 虽然这些设施中有许多已经恢复使用，但由于某些地区的洪水泛滥，修复工作还不完善，因此可能需要昂贵、费时的维修。 宝盛集团(Julius Baer Group Ltd .)大宗商品研究主管Norbert Ruecker表示:“在哈维之后的清理工作正在全面展开，美国能源业务正恢复正常。炼油厂正在恢复运营，港口正在重新启动贸易。” 纽约商品交易所10月份交割的西德克萨斯中质原油在上午10时20分上涨了44美分至49.10美元/桶。 WTI正在走向其200天移动均线，收于49.50美元/桶。 11月交割的布伦特原油价格上涨52美分，至每桶53.90美元，此前伦敦洲际交易所(ICE Futures Europe)的汇率上涨至5月25日欧佩克最近一次部长级会议以来的最高水平。 纽约10月汽油期货下跌2.7％至1.6536美元/加仑。 蔡小全 编译自 世界石油网站 原文如下： Oil heads for four-week high as demand for crude rises Oil approached a four-week high as refiners revved up plants pounded by Hurricane Harvey, sparking demand for crude. Futures rose as much as 1.4% in New York while gasoline dropped, extending a three-day, 23% decline. Motiva Enterprises LLC’s refinery 90 mi east of Houston, which processes more crude than any other North American plant, was on track to reach 40% of its normal working rate within days. Dozens of tankers that had been stranded offshore when Harvey shut every major Texas port began delivering cargoes of crude to refiners that had been in danger of running dry last week. The restart of Gulf refineries “implies that we are not going to get these great accumulations of inventory in oil as some had thought,” Bart Melek, head of global commodity strategy at TD Securities in Toronto, said by telephone. Harvey knocked out more than 20% of the nation’s refining capacity in just 48 hr, according to Sandy Fielden, Morningstar Inc.’s director of oil and products research. The storm also shut pipelines, ports and offshore platforms as it intensified before making landfall on Aug. 25. Although many of those facilities are back in service, the recovery is incomplete because of extensive flooding in some areas that will probably require expensive, time-consuming repairs. “The post-Harvey clean-up is in full swing and the U.S. energy business is returning to normality,” said Norbert Ruecker, head of commodity research at Julius Baer Group Ltd. “Refineries are resuming operations and ports are re-initiating trade.” West Texas Intermediate crude for October delivery climbed 44 cents to $49.10/bbl at 10:20 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent for November settlement added 52 cents to $53.90/bbl on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, after earlier rising to the highest since the last OPEC ministerial meeting on May 25. October gasoline futures in New York dropped 2.7% to $1.6536/gal.
