? 沙特阿美把其交付給亞洲客戶的阿拉伯輕質原油的官方價格（OSP）比阿曼/迪拜原油溢價每桶提高4.95美元。  

? 這是阿拉伯輕質原油有史以來最大的價差，也是世界最大原油出口國的大膽舉措。  

? 沙特阿美還提高其出口歐洲和美國的阿拉伯輕質原油的OSP。  

據美國油價網3月4日報道，沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司(沙特阿美/Saudi Aramco)3月4日在利雅得表示，沙特阿美已將其旗艦級原油阿拉伯輕質原油在亞洲的OSP比阿曼/迪拜原油溢價每桶提高4.95美元。阿曼/迪拜原油是中東產油國為供應亞洲的原油定價的基礎。  

這是阿拉伯輕質原油有史以來最大的價差，也是這個全球最大原油出口國的大膽舉措。

4月份運往亞洲的阿拉伯輕質原油價格將每桶上調2.15美元。  

此外，沙特阿美還將阿拉伯輕質原油在歐洲和美國的OSP每桶分別上調1.60美元和3.45美元。

價格上漲并不令人意外。 布倫特原油價格僅在上周每桶就上漲17美元，亞洲石油市場供應異常緊張，因為亞洲的買家越來越多地從中東購買石油。 

沙特阿拉伯通常為其他中東產油國設定原油定價走向，并被視為市場走向的風向標，這也被解讀為沙特認為石油需求將保持強勁，并將繼續趨緊的信號。

沙特阿拉伯不僅僅上調阿拉伯輕質原油的OSP。 4月份，沙特阿拉伯所有運往亞洲的沙特原油等級的OSP都將上調，同時所有運往美國和歐洲的沙特原油等級的OSP也將上調。

Saudi Arabia Significantly Raises Crude Prices To Key Market Asia

·     Saudi Aramco raised prices for its Arab Light crude for delivery to Asia to $4.95 per barrel over the price of Oman/Dubai crude.

·     It is the largest differential for Arab Light ever and a daring move for the world’s largest crude oil exporter.

·     Aramco also raised the OSP of Arab Light to Europe and the United States.

Saudi Aramco has lifted its price to Asia for its flagship crude oil grade, Arab Light, to $4.95 a barrel premium over Oman/Dubai crude, off which Middle Eastern producers price their oil going to Asia, the oil company said on Friday.

It is the largest differential for Arab Light ever and a daring move for the world’s largest crude oil exporter.

The increase in price for Arab Light to Asia next month is a staggering $2.15 per barrel.

Aramco also raised the OSP of Arab Light to Europe and the United States, at premiums to $1.60 per barrel to ICE Brent, and $3.45 over the Argus Sour Crude Index, respectively.

The price increase comes as no surprise. Brent crude prices have increased $17 a barrel in the last week alone, and the Asian oil market has grown exceptionally tight as buyers there look for more and more oil from the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia typically sets the pricing trends for the other Middle Eastern oil producers and is seen as a bellwether for which way the market is heading, and is interpreted as a signal that Saudi Arabia believes oil demand will remain strong, and will continue to tighten.

Saudi Arabia has increased more than just Arab Light. The price for all Saudi crude grades to Asia will increase for April, as well as all Saudi crude grades to the United States and Europe.
