欧洲炼油利润率降至过去六年来最低水平

据烃加工在线11月19日消息，路透社的计算结果显示，西北欧炼油业务利润率转为负值，降至每桶约负0.49美元。炼油利润率跌至2013年10月以来的最低水平。

贸易商们表示，最近几天汽油和燃料油利润率的大幅下降加速了这一跌势，中间馏分油的相对强势未能使整体利润率保持在正区间。

咨询公司Petromatrix在周二的一份报告中称:“停工检修炼油厂的恢复生产严重降低了炼油厂的经济效益，这并不是全球石油产品需求强劲的迹象。”

贸易商们和分析师们此前预计，炼油商们，尤其是那些没有设备将燃料油升级为更有价值产品的工艺简单的炼油商们，将不得不减少装置开工率水平。

贡沃尔集团(Gunvor Group)周一表示，该公司已关闭位于荷兰鹿特丹炼油厂的两个原油蒸馏装置中的一个，原因是该装置运行不经济。该装置将关停至明年3月，届时这座加工能力为8.8万桶/日的炼油厂将进行停工检修。

Petromatrix表示:“当前的价格演变表明，对当前石油产品产量的需求不足。”

贸易商们表示，就连工艺复杂的炼油厂的利润率最近几天也出现了负值，俄罗斯乌拉尔原油这样品种的原油加工变得不经济。

European oil refining margins turn negative, fall to six-year low

Northwest European oil refining margins turned negative, falling to around -$0.49 a barrel, Reuters calculations showed.Margins fell to their lowest since October 2013.

A sharp fall in gasoline and fuel oil margins in recent days precipitated the fall, with a relative strength in middle distillates failing to keep overall margins in positive territory, traders said.

“The return of refineries from maintenance has seriously reduced refinery economics, and this is not a sign of strong global oil product demand,” consultancy Petromatrix said in a note align="justify">Traders and analysts were expecting that refiners, particularly simple align="justify">Gunvor Group align="justify">“The current price evolution indicates that there is not enough demand for the current output of oil products,” Petromatrix said.

Even margins for complex refineries have turned negative in recent days, traders said, with crude grades such as Russia’s Urals becoming uneconomic to process.
