???? 據(jù)3月29日TradeArabia報道，阿布扎比國家石油公司(Adnoc)在洲際交易所(ICE)正式推出新的阿聯(lián)酋旗艦原油Murban期貨合約。這對阿布扎比和阿聯(lián)酋來說，是一個重要的里程碑。
????世界上第一個Murban期貨合約的推出是Adnoc正在向一個更以市場和客戶為中心的企業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型的最新一步。通過使Murban成為一種自由交易的原油，類似于布倫特原油或西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油，客戶可以更好地提高價格透明度，更靈活地對沖和管理風(fēng)險，并增加對Murban原油的獲取。對于Adnoc而言，其旗艦級原油將為全球更廣泛的市場參與者提供更多資源。
????除ICE和Adnoc外，9家全球最大的能源公司和交易商也將加入到了這個新的原油等級期貨合約的交易中，成為創(chuàng)始合伙人。包括BP、GS Caltex、INPEX、ENEOS、中石油、PTT、殼牌、道達(dá)爾和Vito。來自合作伙伴公司的代表參加了今天在阿布扎比全球市場（ADGM）舉行的發(fā)布會，其中許多代表來自世界各地。
????阿聯(lián)酋工業(yè)和先進(jìn)技術(shù)部部長、Adnoc董事總經(jīng)理兼集團首席執(zhí)行官Sultan Al-Jaber博士表示：“這對Adnoc、阿布扎比和阿聯(lián)酋來說是一個歷史性的時刻，與我們的合作伙伴一道，充分利用對優(yōu)質(zhì)Murban原油日益增長的需求，尤其是亞洲市場。這證明了我們英明領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層的遠(yuǎn)見，使Murban原油成為一種自由交易的商品，更廣泛地提供給世界各地的買家和貿(mào)易商?！?/p>
????他補充道：“世界上第一份Murban期貨合同的推出，使我們最大的原油等級對全球市場更具吸引力，使Adnoc的客戶和市場參與者能夠更好地定價、管理和交易他們購買的Murban原油。Murban原油因其固有的化學(xué)特性、穩(wěn)定的產(chǎn)量、大量的國際買家以及眾多的長期特許經(jīng)營權(quán)和生產(chǎn)合作伙伴而受到世界各地的認(rèn)可。通過使Murban成為自由交易的全球商品，將對市場參與者更具吸引力，并將為Adnoc及其合作伙伴帶來更大的價值。這一歷史性和戰(zhàn)略性里程碑加強了阿聯(lián)酋和阿布扎比作為全球領(lǐng)先能源中心的地位，并強調(diào)了Adnoc作為促進(jìn)阿聯(lián)酋經(jīng)濟光明前景的催化劑的核心作用。”
????本月初，Adnoc宣布，從6月起，其Murban、Upper Zakum、Das和Umm Lulu等品級的原油的出售都將不受目的地限制，從而使其原油成為一種自由交易的大宗商品。
????Murban原油于1958年被發(fā)現(xiàn)，作為阿聯(lián)酋經(jīng)濟持續(xù)發(fā)展的基石，該等級原油發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵作用。隨著新的期貨合約的簽訂，阿布扎比進(jìn)入了一個新時代，進(jìn)一步鞏固了阿布扎比作為全球能源中心和世界可靠而重要的能源供應(yīng)商的地位。
????ICE Murban期貨是實物交割的合約，一份期貨合約相當(dāng)于1000桶Murban原油，從位于阿聯(lián)酋東海岸Fujairah的Adnoc終端交付。
????Murban是Adnoc的旗艦級原油，目前產(chǎn)能超過200萬桶/天。目前，Murban油田的總產(chǎn)能約占阿聯(lián)酋總產(chǎn)能的50%，并計劃到2030年將Murban油田的產(chǎn)量提高到250萬桶/天，這符合Adnoc將其產(chǎn)能提高到500萬桶/天的目標(biāo)。

????Adnoc launches trading of UAE crude oil futures contracts
????The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) have officially started trading of the UAE’s flagship crude oil, Murban, as a futures contract on the new ICE Futures Abu Dhabi (IFAD) commodities exchange.
????During a high-profile launch event at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), attended by Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, ICE, Adnoc and the partners in ICE Futures Abu Dhabi, marked the start of trading for Adnoc's Murban crude oil on ICE Futures Abu Dhabi, a significant milestone for Abu Dhabi and the UAE in its jubilee year.
????The introduction of the world's first Murban Futures contract is the latest step in Adnoc's ongoing transformation into a more market and customer centric organisation. By making Murban a freely traded crude, similar to Brent or WTI, customers have better price transparency, flexibility to hedge and manage risks and increased access to Murban crude. For Adnoc, its flagship crude grade becomes more available to a broader set of market participants around the world.
????Alongside ICE and Adnoc, nine of the world's largest energy companies and traders are joining IFAD as founding partners. This includes BP, GS Caltex, INPEX, ENEOS, PetroChina, PTT, Shell, Total and Vitol. Representatives from the partner companies joined today's launch event at ADGM, many participating virtually from around the world.
????Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Adnoc Managing Director and Group CEO, said: "This is a historic moment for Adnoc, Abu Dhabi, and the UAE as we celebrate the launch of the IFAD exchange with ICE and, with our partners, capitalize on the growing demand for high-quality Murban crude oil, particularly from markets in Asia. This achievement is testament to the vision and foresight of our wise leadership, who have supported this progressive step that makes Murban crude a freely traded commodity that is more widely available to buyers and traders around the world."
????"The launch of the world's first Murban Futures contract makes our largest crude grade even more attractive to the global market, enabling Adnoc's customers and market participants to better price, manage and trade their purchases of Murban. Murban Crude is recognized the world over for its intrinsic chemical qualities, consistent and stable production volumes, large number of international buyers, and numerous long-term concession and production partners.
????“In making Murban a freely traded global commodity, it becomes even more attractive to market participants and will deliver greater value to Adnoc and its partners. This historic and strategic milestone reinforces the UAE and Abu Dhabi's status as a leading global energy hub and underscores Adnoc's central role as a catalyst to empower the UAE's economic ambitions,” he added.
????Earlier this month, Adnoc announced that its Murban, Upper Zakum, Das and Umm Lulu crude grades will all be sold destination free, from June, allowing its crude oils to become a freely-traded commodity.
????Discovered in 1958, Murban has played a pivotal role as the bedrock of the UAE's sustained economic development. With the launch of IFAD and the new Murban Futures Contract, it enters a new era, further solidifying Abu Dhabi's position as a global energy hub and a reliable and essential energy provider to the world.
????ICE Murban Futures are physically delivered contracts, with one futures contract equating to 1,000 barrels of Murban crude oil delivered from the Adnoc Terminal located in Fujairah, on the East coast of the UAE.
????Murban is Adnoc's flagship crude grade, with production capacity of over 2 million barrels per day at present. It currently accounts for around 50% of the UAE's total production capacity, with plans in place to increase the production of Murban to more than 2.5 million barrels per day by 2030, in line with Adnoc's goal of growing its production capacity to 5 million barrels of crude per day.
