据美国油价网2021年12月29日利雅得报道，沙特阿拉伯可能在2022年2月份下调面向亚洲买家的原油官方售价（OSP），此前沙特阿拉伯在12月份曾大幅上调出口亚洲原油的OSP。
路透社援引业内人士和调查数据报道称，沙特阿拉伯可能会将2月份所有出口原油等级的OSP每桶下调1美元或更多，这将使这些产品的OSP在3到4个月内跌至最低水平。
12月早些时候，沙特阿拉伯将其对出口亚洲原油的OSP每桶上调了0.6美元，使其比阿曼/迪拜基准原油价格每桶高出了3.30美元。
油价上涨表明市场预期需求强劲，这也意味着沙特阿拉伯对奥密克戎毒株的影响并不十分担心。2021年11月底，奥密克戎毒株曾导致油价每桶暴跌逾10美元，布伦特原油价格曾一度跌破每桶70美元。
路透社在报道中指出，12月全球油价反弹，但中东和俄罗斯的现货市场溢价自12月初以来已下降逾50%。欧佩克+联盟12月的原油产量增加是油价下跌的原因。
路透社指出，2022年2月份的OSP下调在一定程度上是由于预计亚洲买家的需求将会下降，因为亚洲的炼油厂将在2022年第二季度为维修季节做准备。
沙特阿拉伯将在1月4日举行的欧佩克+会议后宣布其出口原油的OSP。 亚洲占沙特阿拉伯原油出口量的一半以上。
12月早些时候，沙特阿拉伯报告称，10月份对亚洲的原油出口量占其总出口量的77.6%，高于一年前的66.1%。 由于原油价格大幅上涨，沙特阿拉伯原油出口收入比一年前猛增了123%。

Saudi Arabia May Cut Oil Prices For Asia
Saudi Arabia could cut the official selling price for oil to Asian buyers in February after raising them substantially this month.
According to a Reuters report citing industry insiders and poll data, the Kingdom could slash the prices for all its export grades by as much as $1 per barrel and more, which would push these prices to their lowest in three to four months.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia raised its official selling prices for oil to Asia by $0.60 per barrel, which brought them $3.30 per barrel above the Oman/Dubai benchmark.
The price hike suggested expectations of strong demand, which in turn implied that Saudi Arabia is not all that worried about the Omicron variant that caused a more than $10 plunge in oil prices in late November, with Brent at one point dipping below $70 per barrel.
This month, however, prices have rebounded globally, but the spot market premium for Middles Eastern and Russian grades has fallen by more than 50 percent since the start of the month, Reuters noted in its report. The drop was a result of higher OPEC+ production this month.
The price cut for February is in part a move in anticipation of lower demand from Asian buyers as refineries on the continent prepare for maintenance season in the second quarter of the year, Reuters noted.
Saudi Arabia will announce its official selling prices for oil after the January OPEC+ meeting, to take place on the 4th of the month. Asia accounts for more than half of Saudi oil exports.
Earlier this month, the Kingdom reported crude oil exports accounted for 77.6 percent of total exports in October, up from 66.1 percent a year earlier. The value of oil exports was 123 percent higher than a year ago, thanks to substantially higher crude oil prices.
