中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油10月11日迪拜报道，中东出产世界五分之一的石油，但该地区从未有过可以与伦敦布伦特原油或纽约WTI（西德克萨斯中质原油）相匹敌的基准价格。这种情况可能即将改变。 阿联酋是波斯湾最大的产油国之一，它希望为中东原油建立一个基准，与美国页岩气繁荣带来的出口竞争亚洲客户。如果阿布扎比Murban原油的新合约获得批准，可能预示着海湾产油国的石油销售方式将发生重大转变。 国营的阿布扎比国家石油公司计划明年在这个酋长国建立一个新的大宗商品交易所，开始进行Murban的期货交易。 Murban是—— •阿布扎比最大品位原油，计划产能180万桶/天 •Murban通过管道从阿布扎比的主要陆上油田流向霍尔木兹海峡外的富查伊拉港，霍尔木兹海峡是波斯湾的一个咽喉要道 •买家可以在富查伊拉将Murban装到最大的油轮上，也可以装载到杰贝尔丹那港口的较小型船舶上 生产商如何为石油定价可能会产生重大的财务影响。对中东地区来说，如果每售出一桶石油，哪怕只相差几美分，就意味着每年可能损失数亿美元的潜在收入。 全球主要的原油参考价格或基准是美国的西德克萨斯中质原油和欧洲的北海布伦特原油。买卖双方都可以用期货进行交易，从而有助于确定实物商品的价格。 裘寅 编译自 世界石油 原文如下： Abu Dhabi seeks to shift oil markets with its own crude benchmark The Middle East produces a fifth of the world’s oil, but the region’s never had a benchmark price that competes with London’s Brent or New York’s WTI. That could be about to change. One of the Persian Gulf’s biggest producers, Abu Dhabi, wants to create a benchmark for Middle Eastern crude that competes for customers in Asia with exports from America’s shale boom. If the new contract for Abu Dhabi’s Murban crude takes off, it could herald a fundamental shift in the way Gulf producers sell oil. Government-run Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. plans to start futures trading of Murban next year by setting up a new commodities exchange in the emirate. What is Murban? •Abu Dhabi’s biggest grade with planned capacity of 1.8 MMbpd • •Murban flows by pipeline from Abu Dhabi’s main onshore fields to the port of Fujairah outside the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint at the mouth of the Persian Gulf • •Buyers can load Murban on to the largest oil tankers at Fujairah or onto smaller vessels at Jebel Dhanna port in the Gulf How a producer prices its oil can have a big financial impact. For the Middle East, a formula that leaves even a few cents on the table for every barrel sold could mean an annual loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in potential revenue. The main global reference prices, or benchmarks, for crude are for West Texas Intermediate oil in the U.S. and North Sea Brent in Europe. Buyers and sellers can trade futures for both, helping to determine prices for the physical commodity.
