据路透社新德里5月9日消息,知情人士表示,6月份沙特阿美公司面向亚洲的石油供应量将减少约700万桶,因为该国家石油巨头在全球削减石油产量支撑油价的行动中发挥作用。
此举并不是意味着沙特阿拉伯正准备加大今年下半年的石油减产力度,即便欧佩克已经在讨论是否将减产协议延长至2017年以后。
全球最大的石油出口国沙特阿拉伯通常在炎热的夏季月份会增加国内的原油消费,这将影响出口。
知情人士告诉路透社,据6月份提议的计划,沙特阿美公司对东南亚、中国和韩国的原油供应量均将削减100万桶。
知情人士补充道,沙特还计划将供应印度的原油量减少略多于300万桶,对日本的供应量将减少略少于100万桶的水平。总体而言,沙特阿美公司6月份供应亚洲市场的原油减少量应该约为23.3万桶/天-23.4万桶/天。

Saudi Aramco to cut June oil supply to Asia by about 7 MMbbl
Saudi Aramco will curb oil supplies to Asia by about 7 MMbbl in June, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said, as the national oil giant plays its part in a global output cut to support prices.
The move does not necessarily mean Saudi Arabia is preparing to deepen production cuts in the second half of this year, even though OPEC has debated such a plan alongside the possibility of extending cuts beyond 2017.
Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, often consumes more crude domestically during the hot summer months, affecting exports.
According to the June nomination plans, Aramco will cut supplies by a million barrels each to Southeast Asia, China and South Korea, the source, who did not wish to be identified, told Reuters.
The kingdom will cut supplies by a little more than 3 MMbbl for India and slightly less than a million barrels for Japan, the source added. In total, the cuts should be about 233 Mbpd–234 Mbpd.
