11月3日 - 据路透社周二看到的航运数据显示,10月委内瑞拉石油出口量基本持平,为日均108万桶,因原油产量停滞不前且高昂运费继续抑制对许多南美原油品级的需求。
Nov 3 - Venezuela's oil exports were little changed at 1.08 million barrels per day in October as stagnant crude production and high freight rates continued to curb demand for many South American grades, according to shipping data seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
今年早些时候,美国俘获时任总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗,并在华盛顿监督下与全球贸易商达成旗舰协议后,委内瑞拉石油产量和出口量已反弹至接近制裁前水平。
Venezuela's oil output and exports have rebounded this year to near pre-sanctions levels following the US capture of then-president Nicolas Maduro in January and a flagship agreement with global traders overseen by Washington.
然而,随着油气生产商准备通过进口钻机和设备以及修复国营委内瑞拉石油公司(PDVSA)老化的基础设施来扩大产能,增长近期已趋于平稳。
However, growth has recently plateaued as oil and gas producers prepare investments to expand production capacity through imports of drilling rigs and equipment and repairs to state-run PDVSA's ageing infrastructure.
数据显示,10月共有67艘船只从委内瑞拉水域启航,装载原油、燃料、石油副产品和石化产品。出口量较9月下降0.5%,为2月以来最低,但较去年同期增长21%。
A total of 67 vessels departed Venezuelan waters in October carrying crude, fuel, oil byproducts and petrochemicals. Export volumes were down 0.5% from September and the lowest since February, but were 21% higher than a year earlier, the data showed.
出口至美国(委内瑞拉原油最大目的地)的货量较上月下降近29%,降至约日均44.9万桶。美国政府在10月接收并向美国炼厂出售了其与生产商北美蓝能源合作伙伴公司(NABEP)达成的旗舰协议项下的首批委内瑞拉原油货物,该公司和一名白宫官员表示。
Exports to the US, the largest destination for Venezuelan crude, fell nearly 29% from the previous month to about 449,000 bpd. The US government in October received and sold to US refineries the first Venezuelan crude cargo from its flagship deal with producer North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), the company and a White House official said.
委内瑞拉对欧洲的发货量升至日均23.5万桶,高于9月的8.6万桶;出口至印度的货量略降至日均24.2万桶,低于9月的25.3万桶。发往加勒比海储油枢纽的货量增至日均8.3万桶,高于9月的7.6万桶。
Venezuela's shipments to Europe rose to 235,000 bpd from 86,000 bpd in September, while exports to India edged down to 242,000 bpd from 253,000 bpd. Shipments to Caribbean storage hubs increased to 83,000 bpd from 76,000 bpd.
雪佛龙公司出口的委内瑞拉原油升至约日均30.3万桶,为今年第二高月度平均水平。据数据显示,维多集团和陶氏嘉能等贸易商处理的发货量降至约日均50.6万桶,低于9月的63.7万桶,该数据结合了委内瑞拉石油公司出口记录和船舶跟踪信息。
Chevron's exports of Venezuelan crude rose to about 303,000 bpd, their second highest monthly average this year. Shipments handled by traders including Vitol and Trafigura fell to about 506,000 bpd from 637,000 bpd in September, according to the data, which combines PDVSA exports records and vessel-tracking information.
委内瑞拉主要石油终端何塞(Jose)的旗舰原油品种梅雷(Merey)库存本月收盘低于9月水平。但一份PDVSA文件显示,用石脑油稀释的原油库存持续上升,接近400万桶,显示需求疲弱。
At Venezuela's main oil terminal, Jose, inventories of flagship crude grade Merey closed the month below September levels. But stocks of diluted crude oil made with naphtha continued rising to approach 4 million barrels in a sign of weak demand, a PDVSA document showed.
委内瑞拉10月还从美国和欧洲进口了每天13.9万桶石脑油,PDVSA及其合作伙伴用它来稀释超重原油产量。9月进口量平均为每天9.1万桶。
Venezuela also imported 139,000 bpd of naphtha from the US and Europe in October, which PDVSA and its partners use to dilute their extra heavy oil output. Imports in September averaged 91,000 bpd.
