俄罗斯ESPO原油溢价下滑

据烃加工网站11月21日报道 多个俄罗斯贸易消息人士表示，由于订货减少，炼油利润率下降，1月份ESPO混合原油的溢价在上月升至创纪录水平后有所下降。

现货溢价的下降可能预示着对巴西Lula和安哥拉原油等其他类型原油的需求有所放缓。

消息人士称，俄罗斯石油生产商苏尔古特石油天然气公司周三晚间出售了两批74万桶的ESPO货物，分别于1月8-15日和1月11-18日装船，向迪拜报价每桶溢价约6.60-6.90美元。

消息人士称，俄罗斯派拉蒙能源公司1月份还以6.50-7美元/桶的溢价向迪拜报价出售了约4批装载ESPO原油的货物，1月下旬装载的货物在价格区间的低端出售。

目前还不清楚这些货物的买家。

与苏尔古特ESPO周一就12月31-1月5日和1月4-9日装载货物的招标相比，溢价几乎为每桶1美元，当时分别为每桶7.60美元和7.80美元左右。

由于炼油利润率下降，来自世界最大石油进口国中国的原油采购量也在下降。

ESPO原油的溢价升至创纪录的每桶约9美元，高于迪拜10月份对12月份部分装货的报价。

Russian ESPO crude premiums slide

Premiums for January-loading ESPO Blend crude oil have dropped after rising to a record last month as refineries cut purchases before the Lunar New Year holidays and as refining margins fell, several trade sources said.

The drop in spot premiums for Russian ESPO ESPO-DUB, could signal softer demand for other types such as Brazil’s Lula and Angolan crude.

Russian oil producer Surgutneftegaz sold late align="justify">Russia’s Paramount Energy also sold about four cargoes of January-loading ESPO crude at premiums of around $6.50-$7 a barrel to Dubai quotes, with the late-January loading cargoes sold at the lower end of the price range, the sources said.

The buyers of the cargoes are not immediately known.

The premiums are nearly $1 a barrel lower than a Surgutneftegaz ESPO tender awarded align="justify">Crude purchases from China, the world’s top oil importer, are also declining because of falling refining margins.

Premiums for ESPO crude rose to a record of as much as a bout $9 a barrel above Dubai quotes in October for some December-loading cargoes.
