中国石化新闻网讯 据TABNinfo.com网站7月4日科威特城报道,科威特石油公司(KPC)3日在科威特城宣布,科威特石油公司日前出口了其有史以来的第一批高质量轻质原油。
科威特石油部长拉希德在一份提交给科威特通讯社(Kuna)的声明中说:“这一成就被认为是科威特石油公司与世界的市场营销部门之间持续合作的成果,这是科威特石油工业迈出的历史性一步。”
拉希德说:“这是加强科威特在世界石油出口国家中的地位和加强当地经济的重要一步,特别是这种轻质原油在世界范围内需求量很大。”
轻质原油具有低密度以及在室温下流动自如。它的蜡含量通常较低,在大宗商品市场上比重质原油的价格要高,这是因为在炼油厂把原油加工成石油产品时,它生产的汽油和柴油的比例更高。

Kuwait exports first light crude shipment
Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) has exported its first high-quality light crude oil shipment, it has been announced.
"This achievement is considered the fruit of a continuous cooperation between Kuwait oil companies and the world's marketing sector, and this is a historical step in the oil industry of Kuwait," said Kuwait's Oil Minister Bakheet Al-Rashidi, in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (Kuna).
"It is an important step in strengthening Kuwait's status among oil exporting countries in the world and to reinforce local economy, especially that this light crude oil is in high demand worldwide," Al-Rashidi noted.
Light crude oil has a low density and flows freely at room temperature. It generally has a low wax content, and receives a higher price than heavy crude oil on commodity markets because it produces a higher percentage of gasoline and diesel fuel when converted into products by refineries.
