???? 據(jù)原油新聞2021年3月29日迪拜報道，中東最大產(chǎn)油國之一的阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長國實施的重大改革將大幅放松阿聯(lián)酋政府對中東地區(qū)石油市場的控制，使中東地區(qū)向自由市場體系又邁進了一步。

????阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)正與洲際交易所合作，從3月29日起，將其旗艦原油產(chǎn)品穆爾班原油的實物交割期貨合約掛牌上市，成為繼十多年前阿曼采取類似舉措后，第二家這樣做的中東產(chǎn)油國。

????同樣重要的是，擁有阿聯(lián)酋幾乎所有石油儲量的ADNOC已經(jīng)取消了對所有原油出口的目的地限制，這是中東產(chǎn)油國傳統(tǒng)上用來管理其在世界主要消費地區(qū)市場份額的關(guān)鍵控制。

????上述舉措意味著，市場力量不僅將決定一種關(guān)鍵等級的中東原油的價格，還將決定中東地區(qū)第三大產(chǎn)油國的原油流向何處。

????ADNOC此舉對亞洲和中東地區(qū)的原油生產(chǎn)商和消費者具有重大意義。價格探索的更大市場參與和穆爾班原油的流動將進一步加強現(xiàn)有的用于為蘇伊士運河以東數(shù)百萬桶原油定價的機制。

????40年來，迪拜基準一直提供從中東裝載原油的最權(quán)威的由市場決定的價格，不受目的地或轉(zhuǎn)售限制。每天，市場上廣泛的買家和賣家提交的出價、報價和交易使市場在嚴密的評估程序下變得透明，這也是普氏迪拜評估的基礎(chǔ)。

????多年來，由于阿聯(lián)酋迪拜原油產(chǎn)量的下降，迪拜原油基準指數(shù)增加了替代原油交割，以維持這個快速增長的市場所需的流動性。

????Big changes underway in Middle East crude oil market

????Major reforms undertaken by one of the Middle East's largest oil producers are set to substantially loosen state controls in the region's oil market, driving it one step closer to a free-market system.

????Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) is partnering with the Intercontinental Exchange in listing a physically delivered futures contract for its flagship Murban crude from March 29, becoming only the second Middle East producer to do so after a similar move by Oman more than a decade ago.

????Equally important, ADNOC, which holds nearly all of the UAE's oil reserves, has abolished destination restrictions for all its crude oil exports, key controls that Middle East producers have traditionally used to manage their market shares in key consuming regions of the world.

????Combined, the moves mean that not only would market forces determine the price of a key grade of Middle Eastern oil, they would also determine where oil from the region's third-largest producer goes to.

????ADNOC's move is significant for crude producers and consumers across Asia and the Middle East. Greater market participation in the price discovery and flows of Murban will further strengthen the existing mechanism that is used to price millions of barrels of oil east of the Suez canal.

????For four decades, benchmark Dubai,?has provided the definitive market-determined price of crude oil loading from the Middle East that is free from any restrictions on destination or resale. Each day, bids, offers and trades submitted by a wide spectrum of buyers and sellers in the market enable the transparent market on close assessment process that underpins the Platts Dubai assessment.

????Over the years, as production of UAE's Dubai crude declined, the ?Dubai crude benchmark saw addition of alternative delivery of oil to maintain the liquidity needed in a rapidly growing market.
