新加坡 -- 沙特阿拉伯计划从2027年下半年起在新加坡裕廊石油储存库储存原油，以加强该地区的供应安全，两国能源部长周一表示。
SINGAPORE -- Saudi Arabia plans to store crude oil at Singapore's Jurong Rock Caverns from the second half of 2027 to strengthen supply security in the region, energy ministers from both countries said on Monday.
此举是在美以与伊朗的战争严重扰乱通过霍尔木兹海峡运往亚洲的能源供应之后出现的，促使各国动用库存，并引发对全球库存水平的担忧。战争前，亚洲三分之二的石油供应来自中东。
The move comes after the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran severely disrupted energy supplies to Asia shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, prompting countries to draw down inventories and raising concerns about stockpile levels globally. Asia imported two-thirds of its oil supplies from the Middle East before the war.
“沙特阿拉伯和新加坡宣布我们共同意向，建立一项安排，从2027年下半年起让沙特原油储存在裕廊石油储存库，”新加坡能源、贸易与工业部长陈诗龙在新加坡国际能源周会议上表示。
"Saudi Arabia and Singapore are announcing our joint intent to establish an arrangement for Saudi crude oil to be stored at the Jurong Rock Caverns from the second half of 2027," Tan See Leng, minister for energy, trade and industry, told the Singapore International Energy Week conference.
“这一安排增强了沙特原油供应链在东南亚的韧性，同时也有助于新加坡在发生供应中断时的能源安全和韧性。”陈诗龙说，沙特阿美将于周一与新加坡能源市场管理局和JTC集团签署谅解备忘录，并旨在几个月内完成谈判。
"This arrangement enhances the resilience of the Saudi crude oil supply chain in Southeast Asia, as well as contributes to Singapore's energy security and resilience in the event of supply disruptions." Tan said Saudi Aramco will sign a memorandum of understanding with the Energy Market Authority and JTC Corp. on Monday and aimed to conclude negotiations in a few months' time.
“将供应拉近至关键亚洲市场，将增强我们供应网络的灵活性，并支持新加坡的供应安全和应急准备，”沙特阿拉伯能源大臣阿卜杜勒-阿齐兹·本·萨勒曼王子在会议视频录像中表示。
"Bringing supply closer to key Asian markets would strengthen the flexibility of our supply network and support Singapore's security of supply and preparedness," Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al-Saud said in a video recording at the conference.
裕廊岛地下150米深处的岩洞可储存多达147万立方米，即约900万桶液态烃类，如原油和凝析油。
Located at a depth of 150 meters below the ground, the rock caverns at Jurong Island can store up to 1.47 million cubic meters, or roughly 9 million barrels of liquid hydrocarbons such as crude oil and condensate.
沙特阿美目前在日本和韩国储存原油，当地政府在发生意外短缺时拥有优先购买储罐内供应的权利。
Saudi Aramco currently stores crude in Japan and South Korea, where local governments have priority to buy the supplies in the tanks in the event of an unexpected shortage.
沙特阿美日本公司在其网站上表示，根据与日本石油天然气金属国民株式会社（JOGMEC）达成的协议，冲绳的原油储存能力于2017年9月扩大至820万桶。
The crude storage capacity in Okinawa was expanded to 8.2 million barrels in September 2017 in an agreement with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. (JOGMEC), Aramco Japan said on its website.
2023年，阿美石油公司与韩国石油公社签署协议，在韩国蔚山港的储备设施中储存530万桶原油，为期五年。
In 2023, Aramco inked a deal with Korea National Oil Corp. to store 5.3 million barrels of oil in South Korea's reserve facilities in the port of Ulsan for five years.
在其他方面，日本正与亚洲国家磋商，以提升整个地区的原油储备，这是今年早些时候由首相高市早苗提出、并获得100亿美元资金支持的“亚洲广泛能源与资源韧性伙伴关系”（POWERR Asia）倡议的一部分。
Elsewhere, Japan is in talks with Asian countries to boost crude reserves across the region, part of the Partnership in Wide Energy and Resources Resilience Asia (POWERR Asia) initiative proposed earlier this year by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi backed by $10 billion in financial support.
虽然中国、日本和韩国已建立大规模石油储备，但大多数其他亚洲国家在面对供应冲击时缓冲较少。
While China, Japan and South Korea have built large oil stockpiles, most other Asian countries have less of a buffer in the event of supply shocks.
