据ICIS-MRC网站1月26日莫斯科报道，据英国《经济时报》(Economic Times)援引路透社(Reuters)的一项调查显示，最大石油出口国沙特阿拉伯预计将于今年2月连续第二个月上调亚洲买家的官方销售价格，以跟踪更强劲的基准价格和产品价差。
亚洲炼油厂的三位消息人士预计，旗舰级阿拉伯轻质原油2月份OSP每桶平均上涨33美分，预估涨幅在30-40美分之间。
根据周三路透社编纂的数据显示，去年12月强劲的现货原油购买推高了迪拜和DME阿曼现货合约与迪拜掉期合约的平均价差，较上月分别上升约41美分和17美分。
亚洲的一系列石油产品——石脑油、汽油、航空燃料和燃料油——的本月价差因需求改善而加剧。
然而，由于担心为抗击新型冠状病毒而恢复的出行限制将削弱短期需求，亚洲的汽油价差最近有所下降。
沙特原油OSP通常在每月5日左右发布，并为科威特和伊拉克的价格设定了趋势，影响到每天逾1200万桶运往亚洲的原油。
国有石油巨头沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(Saudi Aramco)根据客户的建议，根据收益和产品价格计算过去一个月石油价值的变化，然后制定原油价格。
