沙特7月原油出口量从历史低位反弹

据路透社9月18日报道，周四官方数据显示，沙特阿拉伯7月原油出口量从6月的纪录低点反弹至573万桶/日。

根据联合组织数据倡议(JODI)追溯至2002年的数据，6月原油出口量为498万桶/日，创下历史最低记录。

由于沙特阿拉伯和其他海湾地区成员国先于OPEC主导的限产协议之前就终止了自愿供应削减，石油输出国组织(OPEC)7月产出增加逾100万桶/日。

逐步解封和供应减少帮助基准布伦特原油在4月暴跌至15.98美元的21年低点之后，整个7月都保持在40美元/桶以上，不过涨幅受到第二波疫情担忧的抑制。

OPEC+一直在减产770万桶/日，约占全球需求的8%，但该集团不太可能在周四晚些时候的虚拟会议上宣布进一步的抑制措施。

7月沙特原油产量环比增长13.3%，至848万桶/日，为2002年12月以来的最低水平。

7月沙特国内原油炼厂吞吐量下降13.2%，至209万桶/日，而直接原油燃烧量则增加17.6万桶/日，至64.5万桶/日。

JODI网站数据显示，7月沙特石油产品总需求增加21.9万桶/日，至238万桶/日。

与此同时，这个全球最大石油出口国将其销往亚洲的阿拉伯轻质原油10月官方售价下调至5月以来最大幅度。

月度出口数据由利雅得和石油输出国组织(OPEC)其他成员国向联合组织数据倡议(JODI)提供，并在其网站上公布。

Saudi Arabia crude exports rebound in July from historic lows

Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports rebounded in July to 5.73 million barrels per day (bpd) from a record low in June, official data showed on Thursday.

At 4.98 million bpd, crude exports in June were the weakest on record, according to data from the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI) stretching back to 2002.

Output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rose by more than 1 million bpd in July as Saudi Arabia and other Gulf members ended voluntary supply cuts, on top of an OPEC-led deal to curb production.

An easing of lockdowns and lower supply helped benchmark Brent crude hold above $40 a barrel throughout July after plunging to a 21-year low of $15.98 in April, though gains were kept in check by fears of a second wave of COVID-19.

OPEC+ has been reducing output by 7.7 million bpd, or about 8 per cent of global demand, but the group is unlikely to announce further curbs in its virtual meeting later on Thursday.

Saudi Arabia's crude production rose 13.3 per cent month-on-month in July to 8.48 million bpd, its lowest since December 2002.

Saudi's domestic crude refinery throughput fell 13.2 per cent to 2.09 million bpd in July, while direct crude burn rose by 176,000 bpd to 645,000 bpd.

Saudi total oil product demand in July rose by 219,000 bpd to 2.38 million bpd, data on the JODI website showed.

Meanwhile, the world's top oil exporter cut its October official selling price for the Arab Light crude it sells to Asia by the most since May.

Monthly export figures are provided by Riyadh and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI), which publishes them on its website.
