石油交易行业面临中东重组

据国民报4月8日报道称，中东国家石油公司正在进行更深入的钻探，以从石油桶中榨取最后一滴价值。专家们表示，全球一些最大的石油生产商正日益专注于扩大原油和产品贸易范围，这是自金融危机后银行关闭大宗商品交易柜台以来，该行业的首次重大改组。

较低的油价以及从每一滴原油中榨取更多价值以帮助支持经济发展的需求推动了这一转变，国有巨头阿布扎比国家石油公司（Adnoc）和沙特阿美公司都在扩充其贸易部门。这一趋势将成为参加本周在迪拜举行的中东石油和天然气会议的行业高管和石油部长讨论的主要议题。

法国巴黎银行大宗商品市场策略全球负责人Harry Tchilinguirian表示，“我认为，这国有石油公司的自然演变，旨在更充分地将其原油供应货币化，”他还将在会议上发言。“国家石油公司正在寻求在其石油产品的营销中发挥更大的作用，从而发展他们的贸易团队。”

Oil trading industry faces a Middle East shake-up

Middle East national oil companies are drilling deeper to extract every last drop of value from their barrels. Some of the world’s biggest producers are increasingly focusing on extending the reach of their crude and products' trading arms in the first major shake-up for the industry since banks shut their commodities trading desks in the wake of the financial crisis, say experts.

Lower oil prices and the need to squeeze more value from every drop of crude to help support economic development are driving the shift, which has seen state-owned giants Adnoc and Saudi Aramco recently bulk up their trading units. The trend is set to be a major topic of discussion for industry executives and oil ministers attending this week’s Middle East Petroleum & Gas Conference in Dubai.

“I would view this as a natural evolution of NOCs aiming to more fully monetise their crude oil supply,” said Harry Tchilinguirian, global head of commodity markets strategy for investment bank BNP Paribas, who is scheduled to speak at the conference. “NOCs [are] looking to assume a greater role in the marketing of their oil products, and thus growing their trading teams.”
