据油价网2021年5月11日利雅得报道，路透社援引不愿透露姓名的知情人士的话报道称，沙特阿拉伯6月将根据合同向至少4个亚洲客户全额运送原油。

　　沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）及其亚洲买家使用标准合同，根据需求和供应情况，任何一方都可以在最初规定的数量之上或之下削减或增加10%的订单。

　　今年早些时候，沙特阿美表示将提高亚洲买家的原油装运价格，此举激怒了印度政府。印度政府继续对其石油产量设限。印度的回应是命令国内国有炼油企业从其他供应商购买原油。后来，沙特阿美降低了对亚洲买家的原油官方售价。这是6个月来沙特原油首次降价。

　　然而，据路透社消息，一些来自亚洲的买家拒绝增加6月份的原油购买量，他们倾向于在现货市场上购买与沙特阿拉伯的阿拉伯轻质原油类似的其他原油等级，因为现货市场的价格更低。

　　就石油收入而言，由于油价上涨，沙特阿美已经恢复元气，沙特阿美报告第一季度净利润跃升30%。

　　尽管油价有所改善，但这家沙特国有能源巨头一直在寻找方法，在油价持续低迷的时候以支撑其财务状况。尽管沙特阿美在2020年净利润暴跌50%，但在近几个月出现了反弹。

　　沙特阿美迄今采取的措施包括发债、以124亿美元的价格将其管道业务49%的股份出售给EIG全球能源合作伙伴公司牵头的财团，以及出售非战略性油田的股份。

　　Saudi Arabia To Ship Full Volumes To Asian Oil Buyers

　　Saudi Arabia will export full crude oil volumes to at least four Asian clients next month, Reuters has reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation.

　　Saudi Aramco and its Asian buyers use standard contracts, under which either side can trim or boost orders by a margin of 10 percent above or below the originally stipulated amounts depending on demand and supply.

　　Earlier this year, Aramco angered the Indian government after it said it will raise prices for crude oil shipments for Asian buyers as it continued to keep a heavy cap on its oil production. India responded with an order to state-owned refiners to buy crude oil from other suppliers. Later, Aramco reduced its official selling price for Asian buyers for June shipments. This was the first price reduction for Saudi crude in six months.

　　According to Reuters sources, however, some buyers from Asia have refused to increase their volumes for June and preferred to buy other crude grades similar to Saudi Arabia’s Arab Light on the spot market, where prices were lower. Besides price considerations, a slowdown in fuel demand growth in China and India has also weighed on buyers’ appetite.

　　But Saudi has since recovered thanks to higher oil prices, with Aramco reporting a 30-percent jump in net profits for the first quarter.

　　Despite the improvement in prices, the Saudi state energy company has been looking for ways to shore up its finances amid the prolonged depression in oil prices despite the rally in recent months after it booked a 50-percent slump in net profits for 2020.

　　Steps taken so far have included debt issuance, a 49-percent stake sale in its pipeline business to a consortium led by EIG Global Energy Partners for $12.4 billion, and plans to sell stakes in non-strategic oilfields.
