据油价网2023年4月10日报道，知情人士周一对路透社记者表示，全球最大原油出口国沙特阿拉伯5月份将继续向至少几家亚洲炼油厂供应合同规定的全部原油数量，尽管沙特阿拉伯决定日减产50万桶原油，这是欧佩克+下个月开始的最新减产计划的一部分。
一位不愿透露姓名的亚洲炼油企业消息人士对路透社记者表示，自4月初欧佩克+集团的几个主要原油生产国宣布意外减产以来，亚洲炼油企业一直急于了解减产是否会影响原油供应，还是只是为了提振油价。
4月2日，中东最大的欧佩克产油国和欧佩克+协议的其他几个成员国宣布了总计日减116万桶原油产量的计划，此前产能大国将其每天减少50万桶原油产量计划延长至今年年底。
沙特阿拉伯将每天减少50万桶的原油产量，并表示此举是“旨在支持原油市场稳定的预防措施”。
欧佩克+的意外减产不仅提振了国际油价，还加强了主要中东基准原油的看涨期货结构，主要海湾产油国将原油运往亚洲的价格以此为基准。
在令人震惊的欧佩克+宣布减产后，迪拜原油和迪拜掉期价格大幅上涨，并缩小了与布伦特原油价格的差距。分析师不排除迪拜原油在未来几个月出现高于布伦特原油的溢价的可能性，原因是需求市场重新开放，以及全球最大原油进口国预计将增加原油进口。
欧佩克+减产宣布后，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）上调了5月份运往亚洲的原油的官方售价(OSPs)，这可能会增加中东中低硫原油价格的上涨势头。

Saudi Arabia To Maintain Oil Supply To Asia Despite OPEC+ Cuts
The world’s top crude oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, will keep supplying at least several refiners with full contractual volumes of crude in May, despite the 500,000 bpd Saudi production reduction as part of the latest OPEC+ cuts beginning next month, sources familiar with the plans told Reuters on Monday.
Since several major oil producers in the OPEC+ group announced the surprise cuts at the beginning of April, refining customers in Asia have been anxious to learn whether the reduced production will impact the supply of crude, or if the cuts were just a move to boost oil prices, an unnamed source at one Asian refiner told Reuters.
The biggest OPEC producers in the Middle East and several other members of the OPEC+ pact announced on April 2 a total of 1.16 million bpd of fresh production cuts, on top of the largger producer extending its own 500,000-bpd cut through the end of the year.
Saudi Arabia will reduce oil production by 500,000 bpd and said that the move was “a precautionary measure aimed at supporting the stability of the oil market.”
The surprise OPEC+ cuts not only lifted international oil prices but also strengthened the bullish futures structure of the main Middle Eastern benchmarks, off which the major Gulf producers price their crude going to Asia.
The Dubai crude and the Dubai swaps have jumped and narrowed the gap with the price of Brent Crude after the shock OPEC+ announcement. Analysts are not ruling out the possibility that Dubai crude could move into a premium above Brent in the coming months with the market reopening and the expected increase in imports in the world’s largest crude oil importer.
After the cuts were announced, Saudi Aramco raised its official selling prices (OSPs) for its crude going to Asia in May, which could increase the upward momentum for Middle East medium and sour grades.
