据石化新闻2020年12月30日新加坡报道,随着韩国乐天化工公司大山蒸汽裂解装置的成功重启,市场需求开始复苏,亚洲石脑油将在2021年迎来牛市。展望未来,北亚石化中心的新蒸汽裂解装置产能预计将投产,这将进一步增加亚洲对石脑油的整体需求。
一位韩国石脑油终端用户表示,“我们预测亚洲2021年的石脑油需求将非常强劲,这是因为韩国的YNCC公司和LG化学公司将在1月份从转型困境中重启。石脑油需求的总体增长应该是每月至少4-6批货物(10 -15万吨/月),但由于美国深海石脑油货物将开始进入亚洲,我们希望赤字不会像预期的那么大。”
这位消息人士补充说,“所有用户都想要美国的石脑油货物,这是因为美国石脑油货物的石蜡含量超过75%,这对终端用户来说是理想的货物。由于没有人知道韩国YNCC公司或LG 化工公司蒸汽裂解装置届时是否将会成功重新启动,乙烯利润率将维持到2020年底或2021年上半年。”

Commodities 2021: Asia to draw more naphtha arbitrage cargoes Asian naphtha is set to begin 2021 "We forecast demand will be strong for 2021 because [South Korea's] YNCC and LG Chem will restart [from turnarounds] in January. The total increase in naphtha demand should be at least four-six cargoes per month (100,000-150,000 mt/month), but we hope that the deficit will not be as much as expected as US deepsea cargoes will start to move into Asia," said a South Korea-based naphtha end-user.
"All users want US cargoes as they are above 75% paraffin and are good for end-users, and ethylene margins will be maintained until end 2020 or into H1 January 2021 as no one knows if YNCC or LG Chem will start successfully," the source added.
