石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站8月 22日休斯顿报道，来自汤森路透和市场情报公司Genscape & Kpler公布的贸易流量数据显示，由于亚洲和欧洲买家增加购买量，美国7月份从尼日利亚进口的原油数量跌到了3年来的最低水平。 基准布伦特原油期货和阿曼原油期货之间的价差不断缩小（从5月份每桶4个多美元缩小到不到2美元）使得尼日利亚原油对亚洲买家的吸引力超过了美国炼油商。根据汤森路透的贸易流量数据，今年7月份，尼日利亚对亚洲原油日出口量达到了66.4万桶，为两年来最高。 这一转变使得7月份抵达美国东海岸的尼日利亚原油数量减少至130万桶或每日大约4.3万桶，为2015年6月以来的最低水平。根据贸易流量数据，这一数字低于6月份的730万桶或24,4596万桶/天。美国东海岸的炼油厂从西部油田获得的页岩油数量有限，而且倾向于使用进口原油。 这种下降趋势将继续下去。贸易流量数据显示，美国8月份从这个西非欧佩克产油国平均日进口9,18万桶原油，低于去年同期的24.2万桶。 李峻 编译自 WENews.com 原文如下： U.S. Imports of Nigerian Crude Fall to 3-year Low U.S. crude oil imports from Nigeria in July plunged to the lowest level in three years and are continuing to slip as Asian and European buyers increase purchases, trade flow data from Thomson Reuters and market intelligence firms Genscape and Kpler show.
A narrowing spread between benchmark Brent and Oman crude futures , trading at less than $2 a barrel compared with more than $4 in May, has made Nigerian crude more attractive to Asian buyers than U.S. refiners. Nigerian crude exports to Asia hit 664,000 barrels per day (bpd) in July, according to Thomson Reuters trade flow data, the highest in two years.
That shift cut Nigerian crude arriving at the U.S. East Coast in July to 1.3 million barrels, or about 43,000 bpd, the lowest since June 2015. That was down from 7.3 million barrels, or 244,596 bpd, in June, according to the trade flow data. The East Coast refiners have limited access to shale flowing from Western fields and tend to run imported crude.
The decline is poised to continue. August U.S. arrivals from the West African OPEC producer are tracking to 91,800 bpd, according to the flow data, down from 242,000 bpd in the same month last year.
