中国石化新闻网讯 据3月29日TradeArabia报道，阿布扎比国家石油公司(Adnoc)在洲际交易所(ICE)正式推出新的阿联酋旗舰原油Murban期货合约。这对阿布扎比和阿联酋来说，是一个重要的里程碑。 世界上第一个Murban期货合约的推出是Adnoc正在向一个更以市场和客户为中心的企业转型的最新一步。通过使Murban成为一种自由交易的原油，类似于布伦特原油或西德克萨斯中质原油，客户可以更好地提高价格透明度，更灵活地对冲和管理风险，并增加对Murban原油的获取。对于Adnoc而言，其旗舰级原油将为全球更广泛的市场参与者提供更多资源。 除ICE和Adnoc外，9家全球最大的能源公司和交易商也将加入到了这个新的原油等级期货合约的交易中，成为创始合伙人。包括BP、GS Caltex、INPEX、ENEOS、中石油、PTT、壳牌、道达尔和Vito。来自合作伙伴公司的代表参加了今天在阿布扎比全球市场（ADGM）举行的发布会，其中许多代表来自世界各地。 阿联酋工业和先进技术部部长、Adnoc董事总经理兼集团首席执行官Sultan Al-Jaber博士表示：“这对Adnoc、阿布扎比和阿联酋来说是一个历史性的时刻，与我们的合作伙伴一道，充分利用对优质Murban原油日益增长的需求，尤其是亚洲市场。这证明了我们英明领导层的远见，使Murban原油成为一种自由交易的商品，更广泛地提供给世界各地的买家和贸易商。” 他补充道：“世界上第一份Murban期货合同的推出，使我们最大的原油等级对全球市场更具吸引力，使Adnoc的客户和市场参与者能够更好地定价、管理和交易他们购买的Murban原油。Murban原油因其固有的化学特性、稳定的产量、大量的国际买家以及众多的长期特许经营权和生产合作伙伴而受到世界各地的认可。通过使Murban成为自由交易的全球商品，将对市场参与者更具吸引力，并将为Adnoc及其合作伙伴带来更大的价值。这一历史性和战略性里程碑加强了阿联酋和阿布扎比作为全球领先能源中心的地位，并强调了Adnoc作为促进阿联酋经济光明前景的催化剂的核心作用。” 本月初，Adnoc宣布，从6月起，其Murban、Upper Zakum、Das和Umm Lulu等品级的原油的出售都将不受目的地限制，从而使其原油成为一种自由交易的大宗商品。 Murban原油于1958年被发现，作为阿联酋经济持续发展的基石，该等级原油发挥了关键作用。随着新的期货合约的签订，阿布扎比进入了一个新时代，进一步巩固了阿布扎比作为全球能源中心和世界可靠而重要的能源供应商的地位。 ICE Murban期货是实物交割的合约，一份期货合约相当于1000桶Murban原油，从位于阿联酋东海岸Fujairah的Adnoc终端交付。 Murban是Adnoc的旗舰级原油，目前产能超过200万桶/天。目前，Murban油田的总产能约占阿联酋总产能的50%，并计划到2030年将Murban油田的产量提高到250万桶/天，这符合Adnoc将其产能提高到500万桶/天的目标。 王佳晶 摘译自 TradeArabia 原文如下： Adnoc launches trading of UAE crude oil futures contracts The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) have officially started trading of the UAE’s flagship crude oil, Murban, as a futures contract on the new ICE Futures Abu Dhabi (IFAD) commodities exchange. During a high-profile launch event at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), attended by Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, ICE, Adnoc and the partners in ICE Futures Abu Dhabi, marked the start of trading for Adnoc's Murban crude oil on ICE Futures Abu Dhabi, a significant milestone for Abu Dhabi and the UAE in its jubilee year. The introduction of the world's first Murban Futures contract is the latest step in Adnoc's ongoing transformation into a more market and customer centric organisation. By making Murban a freely traded crude, similar to Brent or WTI, customers have better price transparency, flexibility to hedge and manage risks and increased access to Murban crude. For Adnoc, its flagship crude grade becomes more available to a broader set of market participants around the world. Alongside ICE and Adnoc, nine of the world's largest energy companies and traders are joining IFAD as founding partners. This includes BP, GS Caltex, INPEX, ENEOS, PetroChina, PTT, Shell, Total and Vitol. Representatives from the partner companies joined today's launch event at ADGM, many participating virtually from around the world. Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Adnoc Managing Director and Group CEO, said: "This is a historic moment for Adnoc, Abu Dhabi, and the UAE as we celebrate the launch of the IFAD exchange with ICE and, with our partners, capitalize on the growing demand for high-quality Murban crude oil, particularly from markets in Asia. This achievement is testament to the vision and foresight of our wise leadership, who have supported this progressive step that makes Murban crude a freely traded commodity that is more widely available to buyers and traders around the world." "The launch of the world's first Murban Futures contract makes our largest crude grade even more attractive to the global market, enabling Adnoc's customers and market participants to better price, manage and trade their purchases of Murban. Murban Crude is recognized the world over for its intrinsic chemical qualities, consistent and stable production volumes, large number of international buyers, and numerous long-term concession and production partners. “In making Murban a freely traded global commodity, it becomes even more attractive to market participants and will deliver greater value to Adnoc and its partners. This historic and strategic milestone reinforces the UAE and Abu Dhabi's status as a leading global energy hub and underscores Adnoc's central role as a catalyst to empower the UAE's economic ambitions,” he added. Earlier this month, Adnoc announced that its Murban, Upper Zakum, Das and Umm Lulu crude grades will all be sold destination free, from June, allowing its crude oils to become a freely-traded commodity. Discovered in 1958, Murban has played a pivotal role as the bedrock of the UAE's sustained economic development. With the launch of IFAD and the new Murban Futures Contract, it enters a new era, further solidifying Abu Dhabi's position as a global energy hub and a reliable and essential energy provider to the world. ICE Murban Futures are physically delivered contracts, with one futures contract equating to 1,000 barrels of Murban crude oil delivered from the Adnoc Terminal located in Fujairah, on the East coast of the UAE. Murban is Adnoc's flagship crude grade, with production capacity of over 2 million barrels per day at present. It currently accounts for around 50% of the UAE's total production capacity, with plans in place to increase the production of Murban to more than 2.5 million barrels per day by 2030, in line with Adnoc's goal of growing its production capacity to 5 million barrels of crude per day. |
