据油价网8月16日报道，能源分析公司Vortexa在周二的分析中表示，与7月份的高水平相比，8月份迄今为止拉丁美洲（不包括热点国家）的原油和凝析油出口量已经下降，因为国内炼油厂，尤其是巴西的炼油厂正在使用更多的原油。
Vortexa高级石油市场分析师Rohit Rathod写道，在8月上半月，拉美石油生产国的原油和凝析油出口从7月的380万桶/天大幅下降到310万桶/天。
本月迄今为止的减产主要是由巴西出口下降造成的。在炼油利润率仍然强劲的情况下，巴西一直在将更多原油转向炼油厂。Rathod指出，本月迄今为止，巴西原油出口量已从上月的120万桶/天下滑至76万桶/天。
墨西哥和哥伦比亚的出口也出现了下降，尽管幅度较小，而圭亚那和阿根廷是本月迄今为止唯一增加原油和凝析油出口的拉美产油国。
“随着埃克森美孚在美国和欧洲的炼油厂加工越来越多的Liza和Unity Gold原油，圭亚那的出口在2022年上半年一直稳步增长。”Vortexa说。
墨西哥预计将在8月剩余时间增加原油出口，因为美国炼油厂将在秋季维护之前保持较高的利用率。据Vortexa称，印度买家重新燃起的兴趣也将帮助墨西哥在8月份提高原油出口量。
尽管拉美产油国增加了对欧洲的出口，但他们的大部分原油继续流向美国。8月上半月对美国的原油出口平均为140万桶/天，略低于7月的150万桶/天高点。Vortexa的分析显示，8月对欧洲的出口量较7月增加16万桶，至73万桶/天。

Latin America’s Crude Exports Drop In August
Exports of crude oil and condensates from Latin America, excluding Venezuela, have fallen so far in August compared to high levels in July, as more crude is being used by domestic refineries, especially in Brazil, energy analytics firm Vortexa said in an analysis on Tuesday.
During the first half of August, crude and condensate exports of the Latin American oil producers fell to an average of 3.1 million barrels per day (bpd), sharply down from 3.8 million bpd seen in July, Rohit Rathod, Senior Oil Market Analyst at Vortexa, writes.
Most of the decline so far this month has been driven by lower exports from Brazil, which has been diverting more crude to its refineries amid still strong refining margins. Brazil’s crude exports so far this month have slumped to 760,000 bpd, compared to 1.2 million bpd last month, Rathod notes.
Mexico and Colombia also saw their exports fall, albeit to a smaller extent, while Guyana and Argentina were the only Latin American oil producers to raise crude and condensate exports so far this month.
Guyana’s exports “have been increasing steadily over the first half of 2022 as ExxonMobil processed more and more Liza and Unity Gold crudes at their refineries in the US and Europe,” Vortexa said.
Mexico is expected to boost its crude exports for the rest of August as U.S. refiners are set to keep utilization high before the maintenance in the autumn. Renewed interest from Indian buyers is also set to help Mexico lift its crude exports in August, according to Vortexa.
Although Latin American producers have boosted exports to Europe, the bulk of their crude continues to go to the United States. Crude exports to the U.S. averaged 1.4 million bpd in the first half of August, slightly down from the 1.5 million bpd high in July. Exports to Europe rose by 160,000 bpd from July to reach 730,000 bpd so far in August, Vortexa’s analysis showed.
