石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油网站2月20日卡尔加里报道 重质加拿大原油价格扩大至今年对纽约期货的最大折扣，因为管道运营商Enbridge报告称，其重质原油管道的配给将在下个月增加。 据彭博社汇编的数据显示，加拿大西部精选原油（Western Canadian Select）周二的交易价格比西德克萨斯中质期货低15美元/桶，比上周五高出1.50美元，是今年最大的折扣。 Enbridge表示，通过其干线（加拿大最大的石油出口管道系统）的重油管道运输的原油将从2月份的39%增加到3月份的41%，折扣扩大。该系统将石油从艾伯塔省输送到威斯康星州的苏必利尔（Superior），并在那里与美国海湾沿岸的炼油厂相连。 自从省政府在1月和2月宣布强制性减产之后（总计32.5万桶/日），该系统的管道配给几乎没有变化。 加拿大重油价格在宣布减产后上涨，加拿大西部精选原油对期货的折扣在上个月降至低于7美元/桶。价格的飙升使得用火车运输原油，这是一种更昂贵的管道替代品，并不经济，而且火车运输量较低，整列原油的运输成本在15到20美元/桶之间。 周二，艾伯塔省总理Rachel Notley宣布，政府计划在明年之前租赁铁路车辆，届时铁路运输量将达到12万桶/日。Rachel Notley表示，政府预计在削减开支后，加拿大原油折扣“将很快恢复铁路经济”。 王磊 摘译自 世界石油 原文如下： Source: Canadian heavy crude slips as pipeline rationing set to rise Heavy Canadian crude prices widened to the biggest discount against New York futures this year as pipeline-operator Enbridge reported that rationing on its heavy oil lines would increase next month. Western Canadian Select, an oil sands benchmark, traded at $15/bbl below West Texas Intermediate futures Tuesday, $1.50 wider than on Friday and the biggest discount this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The discount widened as Enbridge said that crude shipments through the heavy oil pipelines of its Mainline, which is the largest Canadian oil export pipeline system, would be apportioned 41% in March, up from 39% in February. The system carries oil from Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin, where it connects to other lines linked to refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast. Pipeline rationing on the system has barely budged since the provincial government announced mandatory production curtailments totaling 325,000 bpd in January and February, which were later reduced. Canadian heavy oil prices surged after the cuts were announced, with WCS’s discount to futures shrinking to less than $7/bbl last month. The price surge made shipping the crude by rail cars, a more expensive alternative to pipelines, uneconomical and shipments on trains declined. Shipping full train of crude can cost between $15 and $20/bbl. On Tuesday, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley announced government plans to lease rail cars that will ship 120,000 bpd by next year. She said her government anticipates that the Canadian crude discount “will get back to rail economics very soon” after curtailments were reduced.
