沙特阿美今年将为定期买家推出灵活LPG合同定价

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯东京3月5日消息称,沙特阿美一位管理人士周二对普氏表示,今年1月,沙特阿美多年来首次推出了灵活的液化石油气月度合同定价机制,允许定期买家根据货物装卸情况选择当前或下月的合同价格。 特阿美液化石油气销售和营销市场协调员阿卜杜拉•巴尔坦在东京国际液化石油气研讨会上发表演讲前表示:“这是我们从2019年1月开始向客户介绍的定价灵活性。” 巴尔坦说:“基本上,(沙特阿美)可以让客户选择与他们的货物签订定期合同,合同的价格可以在装货月或装货日期的下一个月确定,因此,例如在3月份,前10天的货物装载量将在3月份CP上定价,而11日到月底装运的货物将在4月的CP上定价。” 巴尔坦补充说沙特阿美50%的液化石油气用户已经实现了这一目标,占该公司液化石油气定期客户数量的45%。 沙特阿美公司在2018年出口了920万吨液化石油气,但在欧佩克/非欧佩克减产期间,该公司拒绝给出2019年的预测。 沙特阿美公司向其定期客户提供的丙烷和丁烷的月度合同价格将在本月底得到确认,此前该公司收到了即将到来的装货月份的两轮定期买家的价格提名,这将成为亚洲液化石油气定价的基础。 该公司的CP定价,即根据长期供应合同,从沙特的延布、拉斯塔努拉和朱阿伊马港口提取的液化石油气的价格,受到市场的密切关注,因为它们往往会为中东其他液化石油气出口国的液化石油气定价设定一个基本水平。 曹海斌 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下: Saudi Aramco introduces flexible LPG contract pricing for term buyers in 2019 Saudi Aramco introduced flexible monthly LPG contract pricing for the first time in many years in January, allowing term buyers to choose the current or next month’s contract price depending on the cargo laycan, a company official told S&P Global Platts Tuesday. “This is pricing flexibility that we introduced to our customers starting January 2019,” said Abdullah Baltan, marketing coordinator of Saudi Aramco’s LPG sales and marketing, ahead of his speech at the International LP Gas Seminar in Tokyo. “Basically [Aramco] gives the option to customers to have a term contract with their liftings priced on either the loading month or the following month of the loading date,” Baltan said. “So for example in March, cargoes loading in the first 10 days will be priced on March CP, while cargoes loaded 11th to the end of the month will be having the April CP.” Baltan added that 50% of Aramco’s LPG term customers have implemented this, accounting for 45% of the company’s term volumes in 2019. Saudi Aramco, which exported 9.2 million mt of LPG in 2018, declined to give its estimate for 2019 in the midst of OPEC/non-OPEC production cuts. Saudi Aramco’s monthly contract prices for propane and butane to its term customers are confirmed at the end of the month, after receiving two rounds of price nominations from their term buyers for the upcoming loading month, and form the basis of LPG pricing in Asia. The company’s CPs, which set the price of LPG lifted from the Saudi ports of Yanbu, Ras Tanura and Ju’aymah under term supply contracts, are closely watched by the market as they tend to set a base level for LPG pricing for other LPG exporters in the Middle East.
