美国海湾地区因飓风关闭石油供应

　　美国海湾地区因台风关闭石油供应

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月27日报道，油价周二涨至每桶41美元，随着石油公司因飓风关闭了美国墨西哥湾的部分石油产量，加上新冠肺炎病例激增和利比亚石油供应增加限制了涨幅。

　　BP、雪佛龙和挪国油等石油公司，由于受到飓风“泽塔”的影响，到目前为止，已经关闭了16%的石油产量，即293656桶/天。

　　截至格林尼治标准时间10：28，布伦特原油价格上涨52美分，涨幅1.3%，至每桶40.98美元。美国原油期货CLc1上涨38美分，至每桶38.94美元，涨幅1%。这两种合约周一都下跌了3%以上。

　　石油经纪商PVM的塔玛斯?瓦尔加(Tamas Varga)表示:“在目前的情况下，飓风泽塔可能会缓解油价，但这将是非常短暂的。值得一提的是，市场情绪确实在变消极。”

　　油价下跌的原因是全球冠状病毒感染人数不断上升，加上美国就冠状病毒救援方案未能达成一致，缺乏进展。美国众议院议长佩洛西希望在11月3日大选前能达成协议。

　　JBC Energy分析师表示:“由于新冠肺炎病例不断增加，道路燃料需求的前景正在变坏。”

　　最新一轮美国库存数据将于稍后公布，预计供应将有所上升。分析师预计，原油库存将增加约110万桶。

　　Oil rises towards $41 on U.S. Gulf shutdowns, outlook weak

　　Oil rose on Tuesday towards $41 a barrel as oil companies shut down some U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil output due to a hurricane, although surging coronavirus infections and rising Libyan supply limited gains.

　　Companies including BP BP.L, Chevron CVX.N and Equinor ASA EQNR.OL evacuated rigs, and so far producers have shut 16%, or 293,656 barrels per day (bpd) of oil output due to Hurricane Zeta.

　　Brent crude LCOc1 was up 52 cents, or 1.3%, at $40.98 a barrel by 1028 GMT. U.S. oil CLc1 gained 38 cents, or 1%, to $38.94. Both contracts fell more than 3% on Monday.

　　“Whilst Hurricane Zeta could provide a price relief under the current circumstances, it will be very brief,” said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM. “The mood is, indeed, souring.”

　　Oil has declined because of rising coronavirus infections globally and a lack of progress on agreeing a U.S. coronavirus relief package. Still, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi is hopeful a deal can be reached before the Nov. 3 election.

　　“The outlook for road fuels demand is souring on rising COVID-19 infections,” said analysts at JBC Energy.

　　The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+, are planning to increase production by 2 million bpd from January after record output cuts this year.

　　The latest round of U.S. inventory figures due later on Tuesday and on Wednesday are expected to show rising supplies. Analysts expect crude stocks to rise by about 1.1 million barrels.
