亚洲炼油企业5月份将获得沙特原油全部合同配额

据普氏能源资讯4月16日新加坡报道，尽管沙特为实施欧佩克减产协议继续减产，然而，沙特阿美在亚洲的主要原油买家近日已经收到沙特5月份原油装载量的全部定期配额。

今年5月份，亚洲主要买家的沙特原油配额得到满足，交易商表示，他们不知道有任何削减。

亚洲北部炼油企业的一名贸易商表示：“我们(从沙特阿美)得到了5月份全部原油配额。”

但是，一些代表团指出，同前几个月一样，沙特阿美没有满足亚洲买家增加原油数量的要求。

这是沙特阿美连续第四个月承诺满足亚洲定期原油供应量，同时削减国内产量，这是沙特阿美与欧佩克及盟国达成的减产协议的一部分。

根据欧佩克(OPEC)的年度统计公报，亚洲炼油企业构成了沙特原油出口的主要需求中心，2017年大约69%的沙特原油出口流向了亚洲。

标准普尔全球普氏能源咨询本月早些时候的一项调查显示，欧佩克最大产油国沙特3月份的原油日产量下降28万桶，至987万桶。这是沙特自2017年2月以来的最低原油日产量。

Asian refiners receive full Saudi crude allocations for May

Saudi Aramco's major crude oil buyers in Asia have received full term allocations for Saudi crude oil loading in May, even as Saudi Arabia continues to reduce production as part of the OPEC+ agreement.

May allocations for key buyers in Asia were met and traders said they were not aware of any cuts.

"We are receiving full allocation [from Saudi Aramco]," said a trader with a North Asian refiner.

Some noted, however, that requests for incremental volumes were not met, similar to previous months.

This is the fourth consecutive month that Aramco has committed to fulfilling Asian term volumes while simultaneously cutting production as part of an OPEC-and-allies agreement.

Asian refiners form a major demand center for Saudi Arabia crude exports, with about 69% of its total exports in 2017 flowing to Asia, according to OPEC's Annual Statistical Bulletin.

Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest producer by far, dropped its production by 280,000 b/d in March to 9.87 million b/d, according to a S&P Global Platts survey earlier this month.

That is the kingdom's lowest output since February 2017.

OPEC and 10 non-OPEC allies agreed in December to cut a collective 1.2 million b/d in supplies through June.

Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih has said he would like to see the deal extended when the coalition meets June 25-26 in Vienna to maintain bullish momentum in the market.
