中国石化新闻网讯 据Oil Price网站2020年2月24日首尔报道，路透社估计，由于韩国炼油企业利用比中东石油更便宜的美国石油，世界第5大石油进口国韩国今年将购买大量的美国石油，从而取代加拿大成为美国石油最大的出口目的地。 统计数据显示，去年韩国13%的石油进口来自美国。据路透社估计，韩国去年平均每天从美国进口了37.5万桶石油。 根据美国能源信息署（EIA）去年11月的统计数据，美国对韩国的石油平均日出口量为43.9万桶，而对加拿大的日出口量为48.2万桶。在去年6月、7月和9月，韩国超过加拿大成为了美国当月石油出口的首选目的地。 根据路透社对韩国国家石油公司公布的统计数据的计算结果，韩国炼油商去年从美国进口的石油价格平均每桶比从沙特阿拉伯进口的石油少了1.7美元。相比之下，2018年韩国炼油商为美国石油支付的价格比沙特石油每桶高出了0.97美元。 去年，WTI原油价格下降，欧佩克的持续减产，来自中东的原油等级变贵，国际海事组织(IMO)的船用燃料规定以及对美国轻质低硫原油的需求增加，这些都有利于美国增加在韩国的石油销售。 李峻 编译自 Oil Price.com 原文如下： This Country Could Soon Become The Biggest Buyer Of U.S. Oil South Korea, the world’s fifth largest crude oil importer, is set to purchase growing volumes of U.S. oil this year to the point of overtaking Canada as the top destination for American crude in 2020, Reuters estimates, as South Korea takes advantage of cheaper U.S. oil compared to Middle Eastern supplies. Last year, South Korea bought 13 percent of its crude oil supply from the United States, importing on average 375,000 barrels per day (bpd) from America, according to Reuters estimates. According to the latest EIA data for November 2019, U.S. crude exports to South Korea averaged 439,000 bpd, while exports to Canada were 482,000 bpd. In June, July, and September 2019, South Korea was the top destination of U.S. crude on a monthly basis, ahead of Canada. Based on Reuters calculations of data from Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC), South Korean refiners paid on average $1.70 a barrel less for U.S. oil compared to the oil they imported from their top supplier Saudi Arabia. To compare, refiners in South Korea were paying $0.97 a barrel more for U.S. oil compared to Saudi oil in 2018. |
