沙特将9月出口亚洲原油OSP推至历史新高

沙特将其9月份装船出口亚洲原油的官方售价（OSP）上调至历史新高

出口到远东地区的阿拉伯轻质原油的OSP现在比阿曼/迪拜基准价格每桶高出9.80美元

沙特还提高了9月运往美国、西北欧和地中海地区原油的OSP

据美国油价网8月4日报道，欧佩克最多产的原油生产国和出口国沙特8月4日将其9月份出口到亚洲原油的官方售价（OSP）提高到历史新高。 

沙特上调了9月份出口到其珍视的亚洲市场的所有原油等级的OSP。沙特将9月份出口到远东地区的阿拉伯轻质原油的OSP每桶上调了0.50美元，至每桶9.80美元，高于阿曼/迪拜基准价格。  

欧佩克最大的产油国沙特通常会在月度欧佩克+会议举行后的第二天调整其原油销售价格。8月3日，欧佩克+开会讨论了9月份的生产计划，最终决定将9月份的原油日产量配额提高10万桶，其中分配给沙特的配额是2.6万桶/天。 

沙特也上调了9月份运往美国、西北欧、地中海地区的原油OSP。其他欧佩克产油国通常也会在沙特采取定价行动后重新调整他们的原油出口价格。这也在很大程度上被视为沙特如何看待未来石油需求的风向标。

此次价格调整更全面地描绘了市场可能走向的图景。8月3日，欧佩克提高了产量配额，表明产量需求超过了8月份的产量目标（7月份已经达到64.8万桶/天），这一举动通常表明欧佩克+认为全球对其原油需求量更大。但8月4日，沙特向市场传递的信息有点不同： 沙特希望通过提高价格来降低全球对其原油出口的需求。这通常是向市场发出的信号，表明沙特认为没有必要增加原油产量。  

沙特对9月出口欧洲西北部和地中海地区的超轻级别原油OSP做了一些下调。

Saudi Arabia Lifts Crude Prices To Asia To Record High

·     Saudi Arabia hiked its OSPs for September loadings to Asia to new highs.

·     Arab Light to the Far East is now set at $9.80 over the Oman/Dubai Benchmark.

·     Saudi Arabia also raised the price of crude oil heading to the United States, North West Europe, and the Mediterranean.

OPEC’s most prolific oil producer and exporter, Saudi Arabia, has raised the official selling price of its crude oil to new highs for September loadings.

Saudi Arabia raised the price of all of its crude grades to its prized market, Asia, for September. Saudi Arabia raised the September price of Arab Light to the Far East by $0.50 per barrel to $9.80 over the Oman/Dubai benchmark.  

OPEC’s largest producer, Saudi Arabia, typically adjusts the selling price of its crude oil a day after the monthly OPEC+ meeting. On Wednesday, the group met to discuss September production plans, ultimately deciding to raise the September quota by 100,000 bpd—26,000 bpd of which was allocated to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia also raised the price of crude oil heading to the United States, North West Europe, and the Mediterranean. Other OPEC producers often reset their prices too, following Saudi’s pricing action. It is also largely seen as a bellwether for how Saudi Arabia views future oil demand.

The pricing adjustment paints a more complete picture of the direction the market could be headed. Yesterday, OPEC raised its production quota, indicating that there was an increased need for production beyond its August target (which was already 648,000 bpd over July’s—a move that typically signals that the group sees a greater call on OPEC oil. But today, Saudi Arabia is sending a message to the market that is a bit different; it wants to cool the demand for its exports by hiking prices. This is typically a signal to the market that the Kingdom sees no need for additional production.

Saudi Arabia did make a few downward adjustments with its Extra Light grades to North West Europe and the Mediterranean.
