这些无路可走的石油没有掉头回家，而是调转船头，全部涌向了亚洲，目标直指中国。几乎在同一时间，长期深耕中国市场的伊朗石油，正依靠稳定的供应 和价格优势，占据着中国民营炼油厂不小的份额。两股来自被制裁国家的石油洪流，在中国这个全球最大的原油进口国门口迎头相撞。 一场为了争夺中国手里"真金白银"的残酷价格战，就此不可避免地上演了。这场战争的武器不是枪炮，而是"贴水"，也就是每桶油相比国际基准价格的折 扣。谁给的折扣大，谁就能吸引中国买家的订单。 伊朗这边同样感受到了巨大的压力。伊朗对中国出口的主力油种——伊朗轻质原油，其贴水在2025年12月还是每桶8到9美元，到了2026年2月，已经提高到 了11美元。俄罗斯贴水12美元，伊朗贴水11美元，两者在价格上只差1美元。 可别小看这区区一美元。在当下全球原油供应过剩、买家拥有绝对话语权的"买方市场"里，这一美元往往就是决定订单归属的关键。中国的独立炼油厂，也 就是常说的"茶壶炼厂"，成为这场价格战的主要争夺对象。它们历史上就擅长吸收被其他市场回避的原油，但它们的加工能力仅占全国的四分之一左右，并 且受到严格的进口配额限制，胃口有限。 价格战的结果迅速体现在贸易数据上。船 ...

随着新产能陆续上线，2026年，液化天然气（LNG）供给将从紧张转向相对宽松，全球将进入新一轮"买方市场"。 综合多家机构最新预测，随着新产能陆续上线，20 26年，液化天然气（LNG）供给将从紧张转向相对宽松，全球将进入新一轮"买方市 场"。鉴于需求增长势头整体趋缓，预计价格将随之走低。不过，价格下降将刺激亚洲等主要进口国加大购买力度，伴随欧洲将在低价 窗口期补充库存以备来年供暖季所需，需求有望得到小幅提振。整体来看，受地缘政治风险、经济增长放缓等因素制约，需求增幅有 限，这波LNG供应增长浪潮或将持续至20 29年。 市场普遍对LNG供应过剩发出警告，但卡塔尔、阿联酋等出产国仍然认为，未来能源需求强劲，强调中长期供应投资不足。 新增产能释放致价格承压 综合标普、开普勒、睿咨得能源最新预测，20 26年，全球将有至少3 500万吨/年的新增LNG产能投入运营，主要来自美国和卡塔尔；全 球LNG供应量预计将达到4.6亿至4.8 4亿吨，年增长率可能高达10%。 国际能源署指出，2025至2030年间，在建和已作出最终投资决策的项目，每年将有近3000亿立方米新增LNG产能投入运营。全球将迎 来 迄 今 最 大 ...
