伊拉克12月石油出口激增

中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价1月2日消息 伊拉克12月石油出口较11月猛增，原因是在经历了长达一年的停滞后，11月开始缓慢的临时性恢复，来自北部基尔库克油田的出口增加，同时巴士拉南部港口的出口创下历史新高。

2018年12月，伊拉克的石油出口平均为372.6万桶/日，而11月的出口为337.2万桶/日，当时由于南部港口的恶劣天气，出口已降至7个月来的最低点。

路透社援引伊拉克石油部周三的一份声明称，12月伊拉克从巴士拉终端的石油出口平均为363万桶/日，创历史新高，高于上月的平均出口量336.3万桶/日。

根据伊拉克石油部的数据，联邦政府从基尔库克油田到地中海的土耳其塞伊汉港的出口量从11月的平均8716桶/日激增至12月的99000桶/日。

11月中旬，伊拉克恢复了基尔库克省的石油出口，一年前由于与库尔德斯坦地区的争端，伊拉克已经停止了该地区的石油流动。在半自治区举行巴格达并不承认的全民公决后，伊拉克联邦政府于2017年10月从库尔德人手中接管基尔库克油田，从而关停了此前在基尔库克省向塞伊汉输送和出口的约30万桶原油/日的输出量。然而，基尔库克石油的唯一出口是库尔德斯坦地区政府（KRG）的输油管道，伊拉克和KRG利用联邦政府出口管道在巴格达达成相关协议。

Iraq’s oil exports jumped in December compared to November, as exports from the southern ports at Basra hit a record high and exports from the northern Kirkuk fields increased after a slow tentative resumption in November following a year-long hiatus.

In December 2018, Iraq’s oil exports averaged 3.726 million bpd, compared to 3.372 million bpd of exports in November, when exports had reached a seven-month low due to bad weather at the southern ports.

Iraq’s oil exports from the Basra terminals averaged 3.63 million bpd in December—a record high and up from the average exports of 3.363 million bpd in the previous month, Reuters quoted Iraq’s oil ministry as saying in a statement on Wednesday.

Exports of the federal government from the oil fields in Kirkuk to the Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean surged to 99,000 bpd in December from an average 8,716 bpd in November, according to the Iraqi oil ministry.

In the middle of November, Iraq resumed oil exports from the Kirkuk province, a year after it had stopped oil flows from the area due to a dispute with the Kurdistan region. Around 300,000 bpd of crude oil previously pumped and exported in the Kirkuk province to Ceyhan were shut in when the Iraqi federal government moved in October 2017 to take control over the oil fields in Kirkuk from Kurdish forces after the semi-autonomous region held a referendum that Baghdad didn’t recognize. However, the only export outlet of the Kirkuk oil is the oil pipeline of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Iraq and the KRG reached a deal on Baghdad using the pipeline for federal government exports.
