中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月15日新加坡报道称,尽管壳牌公司在普氏窗口买入原油,但中东原油基准价格周一持续下跌。
在周一早些时候达成交易后,壳牌接收了第四批上扎库姆油田货物,支撑了对中等酸度等级的需求。普氏窗口外,12月装载的上扎库姆原油较官方售价(OSP)的溢价为每桶20-30美分,低于上个月约50美分。
交易商表示,卡塔尔al-Shaheen 原油已经以每桶约1.85美元的溢价出售,而卡塔尔石油公司上个月标售的平均溢价为每桶1.55美元。
不过周一,11月至12月的迪拜原油价差已从一周前收窄至每桶20美分至37美分,这是现货市场疲软的另一个迹象。交易商表示,轻度等级Murban和Das可能会以高于各自标售价格15-20美分的溢价交易,低于此前预计的20-30美分。
交易商补充称,沙特阿美公司和阿布扎比国家石油公司的额外供应以及CPC Blend套利流量的增加可能会取代对中东轻质等级现货的部分需求。

Middle East Crude-Benchmarks slip, Shell takes 4th Upper Zakum cargo
The Middle East crude benchmarks extended losses on Monday despite purchases by Shell in the Platts window.
Shell took delivery of a fourth Upper Zakum cargo following deals earlier on Monday, underpinning demand for medium sour grades.Outside the window, December-loading Upper Zakum crude has traded at premiums of 20-30 cents a barrel to its official selling price (OSP), down from about 50 cents last month.
Qatari al-Shaheen crude has been sold at premiums of about $1.85 a barrel, traders said, versus an average premium of $1.55 a barrel seen in Qatar Petroleum's tender last month.
Still, the prompt November-December Dubai spread has narrowed about 20 cents to 37 cents a barrel in backwardation on Monday from a week ago, in another sign of a weaker spot market.Light grades Murban and Das likely traded at premiums of 15-20 cents to their respective OSPs, down from earlier indications of 20-30 cents, traders said.
Additional supplies from Saudi Aramco and ADNOC and a rise in arbitrage flow of CPC Blend might replace some demand for spot Middle East light grades, the traders added.
