沙特阿拉伯可能保持10月对亚洲轻质原油价格

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社9月3日报道称，数名贸易消息人士周一表示，沙特阿拉伯作为最高石油出口国，预计10月销往亚洲的轻质原油价格与上个月相比基本保持不变，以保持其相对于其他供应商的石油竞争力。

在过去的两个月里，沙特阿拉伯降低了对亚洲的阿拉伯轻质原油和阿拉伯特轻原油价格，以抵御来自其他中东石油供应商，欧洲和美国的竞争。

自6月以来，石油输出国组织（欧佩克）和非欧佩克产油国俄罗斯增加了产量。

来自中东和俄罗斯的出口增加，加上来自欧洲和美国的套利流动，使亚洲保持供应充足，特别是在轻度等级方面。

Saudi Arabia may maintain Oct light crude prices for Asia cargoes

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia is expected to keep prices for the light crude grades it sells to Asia largely unchanged in October from the previous month to keep its oil competitive against other suppliers, several trade sources said on Monday.

Saudi Arabia has cut the prices for Arab Light and Arab Extra Light to Asia over the past two months as it fends off competition from other Middle East oil suppliers, Europe and the United States.

Since June, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC producer Russia have increased production.

The rise in exports from the Middle East and Russia, plus arbitrage flows from Europe and the United States, has kept Asia well-supplied, especially in light grades.
