韩国首次获得俄罗斯亚马尔凝析油

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月5日莫斯科报道，韩国本月将从诺瓦泰克新开发的亚马尔(Yamal)液化天然气项目接收第一批俄罗斯凝析油。目前，韩国正在寻找伊朗液化天然气的替代品，而这些供应因美国的制裁而变得复杂。

亚马尔凝析油是一种与液化天然气（LNG）一起生产的轻质油，亚洲客户正在寻求增加石化行业的采购量。

交易商预计，到2020年，凝析油的需求将会上升，因为这将允许炼油商生产低硫燃料——鉴于即将出台的航运法规，这一点至关重要。

交易商称，韩国韩华道达尔石化有限公司将在12月中旬收到7.4万吨亚马尔凝析油。根据Refinitiv Eikon数据显示，STI Veneto船将于12月13日抵达大山港。

"该公司已购买7.4万吨亚马尔凝析油，将于12月抵达，"韩华道达尔发言人对路透表示，并称未来从俄罗斯购买凝析油将视市场情况而定。

South Korea gets its first cargo of Russia's Yamal condensate

South Korea will receive its first cargo of Russian condensate from Novatek’s new Yamal LNG project this month as it looks for alternatives to Iranian supplies that have been complicated by U.S. sanctions.

Yamal condensate is a type of light oil produced along with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and Asian customers are looking to increase purchases for the petrochemical industry.

Traders expect demand for condensate to rise towards 2020 as it allows refiners to produce low-sulphur fuels - critical in light of upcoming shipping regulations.

South Korea’s Hanwha Total Petrochemical Co Ltd will receive 74,000 tonnes of Yamal condensate in mid-December, traders said. According to the Refinitiv Eikon flows system, the vessel STI Veneto will arrive at Daesan port on Dec. 13.

“The company has bought 74,000 tonnes of Yamal condensate which will arrive in December,” a Hanwha Total spokesman told Reuters, adding future purchases of condensate from Russia would depend on market conditions.
