韩企GS Caltex加入新成立的阿布扎比期货交易所

据韩国民报11月12日报道，洲际交易所在阿联酋推出了一个新的期货交易，GS Caltex是首家参与该交易所启动仪式的韩国炼油企业，另外还有9家能源公司。包括阿布扎比国家石油公司（Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.）、英国石油公司（BP）、壳牌（Shell）、道达尔（Total）、维托尔(Vitol)、中石油（Petrochina）、印度石油公司（Inpex）、JXTG和PTT。

诸多石油和天然气公司领导人出席了在阿布扎比举行的签字仪式，包括GS Caltex首席执行官Hur Sae hong、ADNOC首席执行官Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber和ICE首席执行官Jeffrey Sprecher。

明年上半年，该交易所将开始交易穆尔班原油期货，全球60多家炼油厂都在使用穆尔班原油。

GS Caltex表示，它的参与将有助于原油交易，并提高原油价格的透明度。

根据该公司的数据，在去年进口的2.72亿桶原油中，穆尔班原油约占17%，即4700万桶，占比最高。其母公司GS Energy还持有阿联酋陆上生产区3%的股份——该地区生产穆尔班原油。

GS Caltex joins new oil futures exchange in Abu Dhabi

GS Caltex said Tuesday it is the first South Korean oil refiner to take part in the launch of ICE Futures Abu Dhabi, a new exchange in the United Arab Emirates.

The company has signed a deal with Intercontinental Exchange, an American company that owns exchanges for financial and commodity market exchanges, along with nine other energy traders for the launch of the exchange.

The other large energy firms include Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., BP, Shell, Total, Vitol, Petrochina, Inpex, JXTG and PTT.

The signing ceremony held in Abu Dhabi was attended by global oil and gas company leaders, including GS Caltex CEO Hur Sae-hong, ADNOC CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber and ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher.

The exhange will begin trading futures of Murban crude -- which is used by more than 60 refiners around the world -- in the first half of next year.

GS Caltex said its participation will contribute to the trading of crude oil and enhance the transparency of crude oil prices.

Of the 272 million barrels of crude oil GS Caltex imported last year, Murban crude oil accounted for about 17 percent, or 47 million barrels, making up the highest share, according to the company. Its parent company, GS Energy, also owns a 3 percent stake in the UAE’s terrestrial production area, which produces Murban crude oil.
