中东汽油需求未来几个月可能升至疫情前水平

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据石油新闻2021年4月19日伦敦报道，据地区交易商所说，由于需求增加和供应有限，阿联酋富查伊拉的95辛烷值汽油市场在未来几个月里可能上升到新冠肺炎疫情大流行前的水平。

　　由于供应无法满足需求，中东地区的汽油供应一直很紧张。一位交易商表示：“随着夏季的到来，有几家较小炼油厂关闭，而需求正在回升。”“由于中东地区没有封锁，人们开车的次数增加了。”

　　在意外断电影响其汽油产量以后，阿曼的苏哈尔炼油厂正在进行非计划的维护。

　　另外，据大宗商品数据公司Kpler的数据，沙特阿拉伯的吉赞炼油厂也在增加产量，3月份总共加工了872万桶原油。吉赞炼油厂正面临着来自也门边境的定期导弹袭击，尽管消息人士称，尚不清楚这个拖延已久的设施何时会全面投入商业运营。这个具有日加工40万桶原油能力的吉赞炼油厂位于沙特阿拉伯最西南的红海沿岸，距离也门边境约60公里。

　　Gasoline demand rising in Middle East

　　Fujairah's 95 RON gasoline market could rise to pre-pandemic levels in the coming months on increased demand and limited supply, according to regional traders.

　　Gasoline availability has been tight as supply has not been matching demand. "There are minor refinery shutdowns and demand is picking up as summer comes," a trader said. "People drive more as there are no lockdowns in the region."

　　Oman's Sohar refinery was undergoing unscheduled maintenance after unexpected outages affected its gasoline output.

　　Separately, Saudi Arabia's Jazan refinery is ramping up, with a total 8.72 million barrels of crude discharged in March, according to commodity data company Kpler. The Jazan refinery is facing regular missile attacks launched from just across the border with Yemen, though sources say it remains unclear when the much-delayed facility will enter full commercial operation. The 400,000 b/d refinery, also known by the alternate spelling Jizan, lies in the far southwest of Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea, about 60 km from the Yemeni border.
