据美国油价网2022年1月26日报道，炼油行业消息人士本周对路透社的一项调查表示，由于需求强劲，且炼油利润率较高，全球最大的石油出口国沙特阿拉伯预计将在下个月上调3月份其在亚洲销售的所有原油的官方售价。
沙特阿拉伯通常在2月2日的欧佩克+月度会议之后在每个月的5号左右设定下个月原油的官方销售价格。
7名炼油行业消息人士周二和周三对路透社进行的突击调查作出的答复显示，沙特阿拉伯预计将上调3月份在亚洲销售的所有原油的官方售价。
然而，亚洲炼油行业消息人士对路透社表示，由于中东地区对亚洲原油定价的基准较高，在奥密克戎变体浪潮中的需求强劲，以及航空燃油和汽油的炼油利润率增加，预计3月份沙特阿拉伯的官方售价将会增加。
消息人士补充称，3月份在亚洲市场销售的沙特阿拉伯旗舰原油阿拉伯轻质原油，可能比2月价格每桶上调约0.60美元。
今年2月份，沙特将阿拉伯轻质原油在亚洲的售价比阿曼/迪拜基准价格每桶低1.10美元，至2.20美元。中东对亚洲的出口原油的价格均低于此基准价格。
路透社的炼油消息人士预计，3月份阿拉伯轻质原油价格将比2月份每桶上涨0.45 - 0.80美元，比阿曼/迪拜基准价格每桶高出2.65 - 3.00美元。
炼油消息人士对路透社表示，航空燃油和汽油利润率上升，暗示着轻质原油的价格涨幅可能高于重质原油的涨幅。

Saudi Arabia Expected To Raise March Oil Prices On Robust Demand
Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, is expected to lift the official selling prices of all its crude grades sold in Asia next month on the back of solid demand and refining margins, refining sources told a Reuters survey this week.
Saudi Arabia usually sets the official selling prices (OSPs) of its crude for the following month around the fifth of each month, typically after the monthly OPEC+ meeting, which is scheduled for February 2.
The Kingdom is expected to increase all its prices for Asia for March, seven refining sources told Reuters in a flash survey on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Expectations for March, however, are for an increase in the Saudi OSPs, due to higher Middle East benchmarks off which the crude going to Asia is priced, resilient demand in the Omicron wave, and strengthened refining margins for jet fuel and gasoil, the Asian refining sources told Reuters.
Saudi Arabia’s flagship Arab Light crude grade for the Asian market in March could be lifted by around $0.60 per barrel from the February price, the sources added.
For February, the Saudis had reduced the price of Arab Light for Asia by $1.10 a barrel to $2.20 per barrel over the Oman/Dubai benchmark, off which Middle Eastern exports to Asia are being priced.
For March, Reuters’ refining sources expect the price of Arab Light to rise by between $0.45 and $0.80 per barrel from the February price to a premium of $2.65 to $3.00 a barrel over Oman/Dubai.
Stronger jet fuel and gasoil margins suggest that the lighter grades could see higher price hikes than the heavier crude varieties, the refining sources told Reuters.
