-- 据彭博社周五报道,美国一些最大的石油公司警告称,由于霍尔木兹海峡已关闭两个多月,原油市场可能即将迎来一段持续高价期。 埃克森美孚(XOM)、雪佛龙(CVX)和康菲石油(COP)表示,2月28日(伊朗战争爆发日)之前储存在船上的全球原油库存、战略储备和油气储量正在被逐步消耗。 雪佛龙首席财务官艾米尔·邦纳(Eimear Bonner)周五在接受彭博电视台采访时表示,这些储备在过去两个月里起到了一定的缓冲作用,抵御了油价上涨,但现在储备正在迅速减少。 邦纳说:“很多库存和剩余产能已经被消耗殆尽。缓冲空间所剩无几。” 彭博社指出,尽管全球约五分之一的石油和天然气运输的关键通道已关闭两个多月,但油价仍远高于每桶100美元,远未达到历史最高水平。 据彭博社报道,埃克森美孚首席执行官达伦·伍兹周五在与分析师的电话会议上表示,一旦现有储备耗尽,油价很可能会迅速反映出供需失衡加剧的局面。 他表示:“显而易见,如果你看看前所未有的供应中断以及全球石油和天然气的供应情况,市场尚未完全感受到其影响。如果海峡继续关闭,未来还会有更多影响。” 康菲石油公司首席财务官安迪·奥布莱恩将全球能源危机爆发以来油价的上涨描述为一段“缓冲期”,因为穿越霍尔木兹海峡的船只需要多花几周时间才能完成货物运输,从而缓冲了供应受到的冲击。 奥布莱恩周四在与分析师的电话会议上表示,自2月下旬以来,原油市场一直处于“缓冲期”,因为战前装载的船只需要数周时间才能完成航程,因此仍在运送货物。 “现在,所有这些货物都已抵达目的地,”他说道。“供应中断的影响将开始变得更加明显,”他预测,到6月或7月,依赖进口的国家将出现“严重短缺”。 彭博社的文章援引了摩根大通分析师娜塔莎·卡内娃的一份报告,该报告称,如果海峡持续关闭并迫使消费下降,发达国家的油价将在9月份跌至历史最低点。已联系三家石油公司以核实相关评论。 (市场闲谈新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息被认为是来自可靠来源,但可能包含传言和猜测。准确性无法保证。)
