據(jù)美國鉆井網(wǎng)站2022年8月10日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國能源信息署（EIA）在其最新一期的短期能源展望（STEO）報(bào)告中強(qiáng)調(diào)，7月29日布倫特原油和西得克薩斯中質(zhì)原油（WTI）之間的價(jià)差達(dá)到了每桶13.26美元，這是自2014年1月14日以來的最高價(jià)差。

EIA表示，布倫特原油與西得克薩斯中質(zhì)原油之間的巨大價(jià)差反映了西北歐的供需動(dòng)態(tài)。EIA在STEO報(bào)告中概述稱，8月份頭幾個(gè)交易日，價(jià)差有所收窄，但仍處于高位。

EIA在STEO報(bào)告中指出：“爆發(fā)地緣政治沖突導(dǎo)致了貿(mào)易模式的轉(zhuǎn)變，讓歐洲不得不尋找產(chǎn)能大國石油的替代品。”

“這一變化已將布倫特原油合約價(jià)格推高到足以減少亞洲對(duì)布倫特原油的進(jìn)口，并在歐洲保留更多原油的水平。布倫特原油-西得克薩斯中質(zhì)原油的價(jià)差也已經(jīng)擴(kuò)大到足以吸引更多的原油從美國進(jìn)口到歐洲。”EIA補(bǔ)充說。

Brent-WTI Oil Price Spread at Highest Point Since 2014

The price spread between Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil increased to a high of $13.26 per barrel on July 29, the highest price spread since January 14, 2014, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) highlighted in its latest short term energy outlook (STEO).

This wide Brent-WTI spread reflects supply and demand dynamics in Northwest Europe, according to the EIA, which outlined in the STEO that the difference had come down in the first few trading days of August but remained high.

“The war has resulted in shifting trade patterns, leaving Europe to find substitutes for the larger producer’s oil,” the EIA noted in the STEO.

“This change has driven up the price of Brent contracts to a level high enough to reduce Asia’s imports of Brent crude oil and to retain more oil in Europe. The Brent-WTI spread has also increased enough to attract more imports of crude oil from the United States into Europe,” the EIA added.
