据能源经济4月13日消息称，几位贸易消息人士周一表示，最大石油出口国沙特阿拉伯将满足大多数亚洲客户对5月装运原油的需求，此前一些买家因炼油厂维护和价格上涨而要求减少产量。
路透社上周报道说，由于全球第三大石油进口国和消费国印度与产油国之间的紧张关系，印度4家国有炼油商5月份向沙特阿拉伯的石油需求比正常情况减少了36%。
消息人士称，该生产商满足了印度四家炼油厂降低产量的要求，但将向至少一家印度买家供应的原油种类从阿拉伯重质调整为阿拉伯轻质原油。
两名知情人士表示，其中一家日本炼油商要求减产10%，这在合同允许的调整限度内，而另一家由于炼油厂维护原因，将不会增产任何沙特原油。
本月早些时候，沙特提高了销往亚洲的所有等级原油的价格。5月阿拉伯轻质原油官方售价升至1.8美元/桶，高于阿曼/迪拜的平均水平，为2020年2月以来的最高水平。

Saudi Arabia meets May crude supply for most Asian buyers
Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia will meet most Asian customers' requirements for May-loading crude after some buyers had asked for lower volumes partly because of refinery maintenance and higher prices, several trade sources said on Monday.
Reuters reported last week that four state Indian refiners had requested 36 per cent less oil from Saudi Arabia in May than normal amid tensions between India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, and the producer.
The producer met the four Indian refiners' demands for lower volumes, but adjusted the types of crude it supplies to at least one of the Indian buyers to Arab Light from Arab Heavy, the sources said.
One of the Japanese refiners requested a 10 per cent cut, which is within a permissible adjustment limit in the contract, while another won't be lifting any Saudi crude because of refinery maintenance, two of the sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Saudi earlier this month raised prices for all grades it sells to Asia. The May OSP for flagship Arab Light crude rose to $1.8 a barrel above the Oman/Dubai average, the highest since February 2020.
