俄罗斯炼油厂在10月提高了柴油产量,此前政府在克里姆林宫与美国达成供应协议后授予了出口配额,两位知情的业内人士表示。
Russian refiners are raising diesel production in October after the government granted export quotas following the Kremlin's supply agreement with the United States, said two industry sources close to the matter.
美国总统特朗普于10月9日表示,俄罗斯总统普京已同意达成一项协议,从俄罗斯向美国和全球市场供应柴油,美国将暂时解除对俄罗斯燃油的制裁。
US President Donald Trump said on October 9 that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to a deal to supply diesel from Russia to the United States and global markets, with the US temporarily lifting its sanctions on Russian fuel.
俄罗斯证实了该协议,特朗普称俄罗斯将立即交付超过30万公吨(约225万桶)柴油,随后在11月再交付50万公吨,紧接着再交付100万公吨。他表示,视炼厂状况而定,俄罗斯还将额外供应300万公吨。
Russia confirmed the deal and Trump said that Russia would deliver more than 300,000 metric tons (about 2.25 million barrels) of diesel immediately, followed by another 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons straight after that. He said Russia would also supply a further 3 million tons, depending on the condition of its refineries.
交易商称,自10月1日起,俄罗斯政府允许豁免其正在实施的柴油出口禁令,以发放配额,使俄罗斯能够根据特朗普协议供应燃油。
Traders said that, from October 1, the Russian government had allowed exemptions to its ongoing diesel export ban to issue quotas enabling Russia to supply fuel under the Trump deal.
自俄罗斯柴油出口禁令于8月生效以来,其石油公司不得不削减产量以匹配国内需求,同时根据政府间协议限制对中亚国家的供应。
Since Russia's diesel export ban took effect in August, its oil companies have had to cut production to match domestic needs while limiting supplies to Central Asian countries under intergovernmental agreements.
业内人士称,俄罗斯柴油产量在10月上半月降至每天约16万吨,低于9月的每天17.5万吨。新出口配额于月中下达后,产量开始回升,趋向每天18万吨。
Industry sources said diesel output in Russia fell in the first half of October to about 160,000 tons per day, from 175,000 tons per day in September. After the new export quotas arrived mid-month, production began to rise towards 180,000 tons per day.
消息人士称,国内消费在10月通常降至每天约14万吨,并提到收割粮食结束和夏季驾驶季结束等季节性因素。
Domestic consumption typically falls to about 140,000 tons per day in October, the sources said, referring to seasonal factors such as the completion of grains harvesting and the summer driving season.
这将使每天至少4万吨、即每月超过100万吨可用于出口。消息人士补充称,其中约20万至30万吨可能用于邻国需求。
That would leave at least 40,000 tons per day, or more than 1 million tons a month, available for export. About 0.2 million to 0.3 million tons of that may be needed for neighbouring countries, the sources added.
消息人士称,他们预计政府将维持禁令,并利用配额调节出口,监控国内市场和产量变化。
The sources said they expect the government to keep the ban in place and use quotas to regulate exports, monitoring the domestic market and changes in production.
伦敦证券交易所集团(LSEG)数据显示,一艘悬挂马耳他国旗、载有4万吨俄罗斯柴油、驶往纽约的油轮于10月23日出现在追踪系统上。
LSEG data showed that a Malta-flagged tanker carrying 40,000 tons of Russian diesel bound for New York appeared on tracking systems on October 23.
同一天,克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示,首艘油轮启航后,俄罗斯对美国的柴油运输将定期继续。
The same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian diesel shipments to the United States would continue on a regular basis after the first tanker departed.
