據今日油價7月13日報道,國際能源署(IEA)周二表示,今年夏季全球煉油吞吐量將大幅增長,以滿足需求反彈。
該機構在其7月石油市場報告中稱,6月全球煉油廠的日產量從5月的停滯增長上升至160萬桶。
據路透社估計,6月份是自2020年7月以來最大的月度增幅,在6月份之后,煉油廠運營預計將在7月和8月進一步躍升。
IEA稱,本月和下個月的日產量料較6月水準再增加270萬桶。
這家總部位于巴黎的機構預計,8月之后,2021年第四季度煉油吞吐量將出現季節性放緩。
該機構表示:“6月份油價的大幅上漲,在一定程度上是當月原油價格上漲的原因之一,這對產品裂縫和煉油廠利潤率造成了負面影響。”
據路透社報道,國際能源署在這份報告中稱,盡管今年夏天煉油廠吞吐量將大幅增長,但第四季度的產量仍將低于2018年的峰值水平。
該機構認為,全球煉油率要到2022年底才能回到2018年的水平。國際能源署表示,歐洲煉油廠恢復到疫情前利用率的速度將較慢。
該機構還在今天的報告中警告稱,石油市場處于緊張狀態,考慮到歐佩克+聯盟內部可能爆發新的價格戰。IEA稱,為爭奪市場份額而爆發新一場“隨產而戰”的可能性目前被認為很遙遠,但該組織在產量配額問題上的持續僵局也有可能破壞全球經濟復蘇。
“市場份額之爭的可能性雖然微乎其微,但仍籠罩著市場,高油價引發通脹、破壞脆弱經濟復蘇的可能性也是如此。新冠病毒Delta變種在未來幾個月可能產生的全球影響的不確定性也緩和了市場情緒。”

IEA: Global Refining Throughput To Jump This Summer
Global refining throughput is set to jump this summer to meet rebounding demand, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Tuesday.
Refinery runs globally surged by as much as 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in June, up from a stagnant performance in May, the agency said in its Oil Market Report for July published today.
After the June jump, which was the largest monthly increase since July 2020 as per Reuters estimates, refinery runs are expected to further jump through July and August.
The increase over this month and next is expected at another 2.7 million bpd from June levels, the IEA said.
After August, the Paris-based agency expects a seasonal slowdown in refining throughput in the fourth quarter of 2021.
“The sharp increase in June was partly behind higher crude oil prices in the month that negatively affected product cracks and refinery margins,” the agency said.
Although refinery throughput will jump this summer, runs in Q4 will still be lower than the peak in 2018, the IEA said in the report, as carried by Reuters.
The agency believes that global refining rates will not return to the 2018 levels until the end of 2022. Europe’s refineries would be slower to return to pre-COVID utilization rates, while China will benefit from this, the IEA said.
The agency also warned in its report today that the oil market is on edge, entertaining the possibility of a new price war within the OPEC+ alliance. The possibility of a new pump-at-will war for market share is currently assessed as remote, but the ongoing impasse at the group over production quotas is also threatening to derail the global economic recovery, the IEA said.
“[T]he possibility of a market share battle, even if remote, is hanging over markets, as is the potential for high fuel prices to stoke inflation and damage a fragile economic recovery. The uncertainty over the potential global impact of the Covid-19 Delta variant in the coming months is also tempering sentiment,” the IEA’s monthly report says.
