供应压力减轻导致西北欧石脑油需求放缓

据普氏能源资讯8月4日伦敦报道，业内消息人士说，随着石化终端用户在未来几周内将被充分覆盖，欧洲西北部的石脑油需求在周末略有减弱，这将进一步缓解石脑油供应压力。

西北欧最近对石脑油的需求一直受到石化终端用户驱动。

一名交易商表示：“欧洲各地的裂解装置应该专注于公开规范，而目前欧洲市场上没有大量公开规范的交易。”

由于液化石油气价格飙升，石化终端用户选择了裂解石脑油，而不是裂解像丙烷那样的替代原料。

Naphtha demand slows on good petrochemical coverage, supply pressures ease

Demand for naphtha in Northwest Europe waned slightly towards the end of the week with petrochemical end-users well covered over the next few weeks, according to sources, further easing supply pressures.

Recent demand for naphtha has been driven by petrochemical end-users.

"Crackers around Europe are focused on open spec," a trader said. "There is not much open spec trading right now."

End-users have opted to crack naphtha instead of alternative feedstocks such as propane due to high LPG prices.
