困局之下，俄罗斯被迫转向东方，中国成了那根救命稻草。 为啥是中国？很简单，咱们手握硬实力——全球最大炼油蒸馏塔出口国，2022年设备输出量达 38万台，比2018年翻了三倍！技术和产能全在线，足够帮俄重建一座炼油厂。但合作不止于救急，更踩中了全球能源转型的鼓点。巴西正把汽油乙醇掺混比 提到30%，越南全力推广E10乙醇汽油，而中国已是乙醇汽油技术的领头羊。俄罗斯这次免税进口（取消5%关税和13%增值税），每月能补上35万吨汽油缺 口，还计划用中欧班列开专线运输，把"原油换成品"的老模式升级成灵活双向补给。这像极了古代丝绸之路的复兴，但背后是残酷的现实：俄方别无选择。 然而，进口汽油只是止痛药，治不了根。 20天的海运加高昂转运成本，会吃掉免税红利。乌克兰已放话要扩大无人机生产，持续轰炸能源设施；西方设备 禁运更是长期枷锁。冬季临近，危机只会雪上加霜——民生挨冻、前线断油，俄经济稳定的地基正被侵蚀。孙子兵法云"知己知彼，百战不殆"，俄方若只靠 外援，战略主动权就丢了。短期进口能缓一时，但产能修复和防袭难题无解。这场困局已演变成影响全局的变量，稍有不慎，地缘天秤就会倾斜。 谁曾想，那个曾掌控全球近一成成品油出口的 ...

就燃料油自身基本面而言，高硫燃料油市场结构近期边际走强，期货注册仓单量减少也对FU盘面结构形成额外支 撑。但基于目前的估值水平与供需状况来看，上行驱动和空间仍有限，需要新的变量催化。 低硫燃料油方面，近期Dangote与Pengerang炼厂RFCC装置停工导致局部低硫燃料油供应增加，9月份发货量达到50 万吨，对现货市场形成一定压制。而根据IIR最新消息，Dangote炼厂装置可能会在10月14日重启，如果顺利运行则 该炼厂低硫燃料油产量将再度回落，从而缓解局部供应压力。中期来看，低硫船燃需求份额被替代的趋势尚未逆 转，市场上方阻力依然较大。 策略 燃料油日报 | 2025-10-10 Dangote炼厂RFCC装置有望近期重启 市场分析 上期所燃料油期货主力合约日盘收跌1.25%，报2834元/吨；INE低硫燃料油期货主力合约日盘收跌1.23%，报3360 元/吨。 原油价格反复震荡，俄乌局势引发的地缘溢价还在延续，但基本面转为过剩的预期开始演绎，因此短期方向不明 朗，中期油价存在一定下行压力。 高硫方面：短期中性，中期向下 低硫方面：短期中性，中期向下 跨品种：无 跨期：逢低多FU2511-2512价差 ...

Group 1 - Thai and Japanese refiners are actively increasing their procurement of U.S. crude oil for the remainder of the year, driven by the competitive pricing of low-sulfur U.S. crude and a desire to reduce dependence on Middle Eastern oil [1][2] - Thai refiners are diversifying their crude oil sources to mitigate the impact of geopolitical tensions that have significantly affected profitability, while Japanese refiners are also seeking to lessen their reliance on Middle Eastern oil amid escalating conflicts [1] - PTT, Thailand's state-owned oil giant, has established an "emergency team" to monitor global economic conditions and optimize procurement strategies, including increasing U.S. crude purchases [1] Group 2 - In August, Thailand imported 146,682 barrels per day of U.S. crude oil, a year-on-year increase of 44.7%, while the total imports from January to August rose by 30.5% to 151,250 barrels per day, accounting for nearly 16% of Thailand's total crude imports [2] - Japan's imports of U.S. crude oil in August were 68,918 barrels per day, a year-on-year decrease of 7.8%, but still above the three-year average; from January to August, imports increased by 42.9% to 85,017 barrels per day [2] - The pricing advantage of U.S. crude is driving demand from Thai and Japanese refiners, with the Brent-Dubai spread turning negative, indicating that various low-sulfur crudes from the Americas, North Sea, and Southeast Asia are more economically competitive than Middle Eastern crude [2] Group 3 - The increase in U.S. crude imports is also serving as a diplomatic tool to support trade negotiations; for instance, PTT's imports reached a record high of 7.3 million barrels in June, enhancing Thailand's strategic position in ongoing trade talks with the U.S. [3] - Thailand successfully reduced the U.S. reciprocal tariff from 36% to 19% effective August 6, which is expected to further strengthen its negotiating position by committing to import more U.S. crude [3] - Japan's significant increase in U.S. crude purchases is anticipated to provide leverage in future trade negotiations, despite the U.S. agreeing to impose a 15% import tariff on Japanese goods [3]

俄罗斯的防线在于"能源纵深"。尽管炼油厂受损严重，但原油开采未受重创，每日仍能向中印出口超 300万桶原油，维持基本收入流。国内供暖依赖的天然气产能完好，民众过冬尚无生存之忧，民生压力 远小于乌克兰。但其防空体系的疲态已显露无遗：乌克兰无人机能穿透2100公里防线打击秋明炼油厂， 暴露了俄广袤领土防御的致命漏洞，而无人机的低成本与高频率，正持续消耗俄军昂贵的防空导弹。 这场博弈的关键变量，在于"外部支撑的可持续性"与"内部韧性的临界点"。乌克兰的命门是西方援助 的"断供风险"：欧盟虽承诺长期支持，但匈牙利等国已私下转向土库曼斯坦采购天然气，对乌援助的内 部共识正在松动。俄罗斯的软肋是"炼油修复的技术封锁"：西方制裁导致设备备件断供，受损炼油厂平 均修复周期长达6个月，产能流失可能持续恶化。 从现实困境看，乌克兰的"扛不住"风险更迫在眉睫。其天然气缺口需11月前完成采购，而欧盟援助资金 到位尚需时间；电网设施若再遭两轮大规模袭击，将彻底丧失供暖能力，民众过冬将面临直接生存威 胁。俄罗斯虽面临燃油短缺与财政压力，但民生基本盘未破，原油出口的"现金流"仍能支撑战争消耗。 2025年10月的东欧平原已泛起寒意，乌克兰 ...

能源大国遭遇燃油危机 目前俄罗斯的能源生命线正遭受精准打击。 自2025年8月开始，乌克兰无人机持续对俄罗斯境内炼油设施发起攻击，9月份就有4家大型炼油厂被迫 停产，包括排名全国第二的基涅夫炼油厂与五大炼油厂之一的梁赞炼油厂，10月的前五天，又有4座年 产能超1700万吨的炼油设施接连中招 不仅如此，俄罗斯的港口也是乌克兰无人机的攻击对象。今年8月，乌斯季卢加港遭到乌克兰无人机攻 击，导致该港口的石油装载量仅为正常水平的一半，9月12日乌克兰又对俄罗斯在波罗的海地区最大的 石油出口基地普里莫尔斯克港发起袭击。 炼油设施的受损带来的是链条式的断裂，依赖规模化炼油的俄罗斯成品油的供应能力也随之骤降，汽油 在国内市场的稀缺迅速显现，乌克兰正是通过这种手段不断撕开俄罗斯能源安全的防线。 多个报道提到，遭袭的目标集中在炼油环节的核心装置，例如原油蒸馏、减压蒸馏等环节，一旦损坏， 就意味着大规模装置停摆。同时俄罗斯炼油设备的关键技术与零部件高度依赖欧美企业供应，而西方制 裁正好掐住这一命脉，被击毁的装置即便想要重建，也因缺乏催化剂与控制系统而难以快速恢复。 一辆汽车停在俄罗斯克里米亚的加油站前，驾驶员却被告知每人只能加3 ...

Core Insights - The traditional peak season for the refining industry in September did not materialize as expected, leading to a significant decline in profits due to dual pressures from costs and revenues [1][2][3] Summary by Sections Profit Decline - In September, the average refining profit for domestic refineries was 167 yuan/ton, a substantial decrease of 174 yuan/ton, representing a drop of 50.99% month-on-month and 10.65% year-on-year [1][2] - The average revenue from refined products was 5,337 yuan/ton, down 92 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.69% [1][2] - The comprehensive refining cost increased to 5,170 yuan/ton, up 82 yuan/ton, marking a rise of 1.61% [1][2] Supply and Demand Imbalance - The weak revenue was attributed to an exacerbated supply-demand imbalance, with many refined products experiencing oversupply and weak demand [3] - Key factors included weak demand for solvent oil and asphalt, uncertainty in international oil prices affecting market confidence, and adverse weather conditions in southern regions [3] Regional Insights - In Shandong, independent refineries saw a significant drop in profits, with the processing profit for imported crude oil falling to 132.83 yuan/ton, down 182.75 yuan/ton, a decline of 57.91% [3] - Despite an increase in operating rates among Shandong refineries, the release of production capacity did not translate into higher profits [3] October Outlook - Analysts expect a slight increase in refining profits in October due to anticipated relief on the cost side and seasonal demand support [6] - The international oil price is expected to face downward pressure, which could lower procurement costs for domestic refineries [6] - Diesel demand is projected to remain strong due to logistics and agricultural needs, while gasoline consumption may face seasonal declines after the holidays [6][7] - There are concerns about potential raw material shortages for Shandong refineries due to rapid usage of import quotas and maintenance schedules [7]

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing debate surrounding the US-EU energy agreement highlights significant skepticism from European stakeholders, who view the deal as potentially detrimental to their manufacturing sector due to increased energy costs, despite claims of a historic victory from US President Trump and a difficult but good agreement from EU Commission President von der Leyen [2] Group 1: Agreement Details - The energy agreement spans three years and is valued at $750 billion, with the EU committing to purchase $250 billion worth of US energy products annually [2] - Current EU energy import data indicates that in 2024, the total energy import value will be $433 billion, with less than $80 billion coming from the US, falling short of the new agreement's annual target by nearly two-thirds [2] Group 2: Oil and LNG Import Challenges - The EU's oil import gap is significant, with only 16.1% of total oil imports coming from the US in 2024, necessitating a more than threefold increase to meet the agreement's requirements, which could raise procurement costs by at least 30% [3] - Although the US has become the main LNG supplier to the EU, accounting for 45.3% of LNG imports, the projected annual LNG procurement total for the EU in 2024 is only $46.5 billion to $58 billion, far below the $250 billion target [4] Group 3: Structural Constraints on US Energy Supply - The US LNG export capacity is projected to reach 11.9 billion cubic feet per day in 2024, but even with planned projects, the increase in capacity will be insufficient to meet the EU's demand [5] - The US's current oil export capacity is constrained, with an export load factor of 89%, and achieving the $250 billion target would require redirecting 80% of US energy exports to Europe, which is economically unfeasible given the higher profits from Asian markets [5] Group 4: Infrastructure Limitations - The US has only six operational LNG export terminals, all running at full capacity, and the global fleet of LNG carriers is limited, with a need for over 200 additional ships to meet the agreement's transport demands [6] - The construction of new LNG carriers takes approximately three years, making it impossible to quickly address the transportation capacity shortfall [6] Group 5: Political and Economic Implications - The agreement reflects complex political dynamics within the EU and increases internal divisions regarding energy policy, particularly in the context of the EU's "de-Russification" strategy [7] - If the agreement is fulfilled at current prices, EU energy import costs could rise by 57%, translating to an additional €680 per household annually [7] - The long-term energy cooperation framework between the US and EU is likely to undergo necessary adjustments to align with market realities during the execution of the agreement [7]
