市场份额抢夺战日趋激烈，阿布扎比下调原油售价

来源：亚欧能源网    发布时间：2016-08-05 09:31:41 

ADNOC在一份电子邮件声明中称，穆尔班和达斯原油7月份售价分别为每桶44.60美元和44美元，较6月份装船价格下调0.65美元。上扎库姆原油售价为42.15美元/桶，较6月份低0.32美元。

此前，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美)决定就9月份交付其远东客户的所有等级原油提供折扣。

沙特阿美将9月份交付的轻质、中质和重质原油价格分别比8月份下调1.3美元、1美元和0.7美元，意味着主要石油生产国当前在亚洲发动的市场份额抢夺战更加激烈。

ADNOC和沙特阿美官方售价的确定均与地区基准原油价格相关。一般来说，这个定价程序是一个技术性操作，基本不会对整体市场产生影响。

不过，自2014年以来油价持续低迷已经令许多大型石油生产商卷入了价格战之中，以保护或增加市场份额。这也令市场观察人士密切关注官方售价水平、尤其是沙特阿美的官方售价，以评估沙特的石油政策。

Abu Dhabi Cuts Crude Prices as Battle for Market Share Intensifies

By Kevin Baxter

LONDON--The Abu Dhab National Oil Company, known as ADNOC, has cut official selling prices, known as OSPs, for all three of its crude oil grades loaded in July as it attempts to compete with its Gulf neighbours in the continuing war for market share.

ADNOC said in an emailed statement that the July premiums for Murban and Das crude grades were $44.60 a barrel and $44 a barrel respectively, a discount equating to $0.65 compared to June loadings.

Upper Zakum is $42.15, down $0.32 a barrel from June.

The move follows the decision by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, known as Saudi Aramco, to offer discounts to its Far East customers for September deliveries of all of crude grades.

Aramco cut its Light, Medium and Heavy grades by $1.30, $1.00 and $0.70 respectively compared with August, indicating an intensifying of the market share battle currently raging in Asia between major oil producers.

Both ADNOC and Saudi Aramco set OSPs relative to the regional benchmark crude oil prices. The price setting process is typically a technical move with little impact on the broader market.

However, the low-price environment in the oil market since 2014 has meant witnessed many major producers engage in a price-war in order to protect or grow market share. This has resulted in OSP's, especially Saudi Aramco's, being watched closely by market observers, especially Saudi Aramco's, in order to gauge Saudi Arabian oil policy.
