澳大利亚11月将装载最后一批恩菲尔德原油货物

    中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯9月20日新加坡报道，一名知情人士周四表示，由于作业者澳大利亚伍德塞德石油公司计划在产量下降的情况下停止恩菲尔德油田（Enfield oilfield）的原油生产，澳大利亚将在11月份装载出口本国最后一批恩菲尔德原油。

    这批重质低硫原油将在11月中旬装上一艘货船。消息人士称，由于这是最后一批恩菲尔德原油，其装载数量是可变的。此前恩菲尔德原油货物装载量大约为30万桶。

    消息人士称，这批恩菲尔德原油货物已出售给一家日本贸易公司，可能以对普氏布伦特原油期货价每桶溢价1- 1.50美元出售。

    伍德赛德石油公司的财务报告显示，由于原油储量减少，恩菲尔德原油产量在过去几年里一直在下降，从2008年每日大约4万桶的峰值下降到了今年第二季度的每日3550桶。

    Australia's last Enfield crude oil cargo to load in November

    The last cargo of Australia's Enfield crude oil will load in November, as operator Woodside Petroleum proceeds with plans to halt production at the field amid declining production, a source with knowledge of the matter said Thursday.

    The heavy, sweet crude will be loaded in one cargo in mid-November. The volume is variable as it is the last cargo, sources said. Previous Enfield crude cargoes were around 300,000 barrels.

    The cargo has already been sold to a Japanese trading house, likely at a premium of around $1-$1.50/b to Platts Dated Brent, sources said.

    Production of Enfield crude has fallen over the years due to natural reservoir decline, dropping from around 40,000 b/d at its peak in 2008 to 3,550 b/d in the second quarter of this year, Woodside financial reports showed.
