自2024年起，乌克兰对俄罗斯的能源基础设施发动了越来越多的攻击，旨在削弱俄罗斯的经济和军事燃 料供应。尤其是在今年8月，乌克兰通过无人机和导弹对俄罗斯的能源设施进行了密集轰炸，取得了显 著成效。这些袭击不仅令外界担忧俄罗斯是否能维持其经济稳定，也促使全球关注战争对能源供应链的 深远影响。然而，尽管阿格斯（Argus Media）等国际知名的大宗物资价格评估机构发布了相关数据， 全球财经媒体的反应却依然相对平淡，这到底是什么原因呢？ 根据美国石化产业情报网《碳氢化合物加工》（Hydrocarbon Processing）28日的报道，俄罗斯在2024年 8月的炼油厂停产情况已经达到640万吨，占全国炼油能力的17%，创下了单月停产的新高。换句话说， 俄罗斯每日有120万桶的炼油产能无法运作，这一情况不仅超过了2020年因新冠疫情而导致的停工高 峰，也超过了开战以来的中断水平。值得注意的是，仅仅是无人机攻击造成的影响就达到了310万吨。 此外，乌克兰攻击还导致俄罗斯占领区、南方地区以及远东地区的加油站出现95号无铅汽油短缺的情 况，这一系列消息让西方媒体纷纷报道俄罗斯能源供应系统已面临崩溃的风险。 然而，俄罗斯 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since 2019, domestic petrochemical production capacity has grown rapidly, but demand has faced difficulties, resulting in an oversupply of traditional petrochemical products and poor industry profitability [11] - The production capacity growth rates of varieties such as PX and ethylene glycol have begun to slow down significantly this year, and the rapid growth of polyester industry production capacity may be coming to an end [11] - In the future, the trend of reducing oil and increasing chemicals will continue, and the R & D and scale growth of high - value - added new materials will accelerate. Policy regulation is expected to reduce supply growth and relieve the pressure of future concentrated production [11] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Some old - fashioned production capacities have undergone a transformation - In the petrochemical industry, the proportion of pre - 1996 production facilities is relatively high in ethylene, downstream PE, and pure benzene (about 17%), and about 15% in propylene. The proportion of mainstream petrochemical products such as ethylene glycol, polypropylene, styrene, PX, and PTA is within 10% [3] - The over - 20 - year - old facilities in the industry are concentrated in state - owned enterprises and are mostly refining - supporting facilities. Some old - fashioned state - owned production capacities have gradually withdrawn, while others have been upgraded through technological transformation [3] - It is difficult to simply eliminate production capacity by "one - size - fits - all". Policy tends to "close first and then open" the refining capacity, and the replacement of refining capacity often leads to continuous growth in chemical product production capacity [3] 2. "Solving oversupply through major overhauls" is essentially industrial upgrading - The integration of upstream and downstream refining and chemical industries in the domestic petrochemical industry has deepened. Enterprises are actively deploying high - value - added petrochemical products, and profit accounting has shifted to comprehensive benefits [6] - Due to the complexity of refinery terminal product layout and comprehensive consideration of benefits, short - term market - based adjustment may fail for individual products, and it is difficult to reach a unified production reduction agreement [6] - The path to "solve petrochemical oversupply through major overhauls" may be to upgrade old - fashioned facilities, but it is a complex system project with many challenges and unclear implementation paths [7] 3. Controlling new additions and project approvals to relieve supply growth pressure - The state's approval of large - scale refining and chemical integration or chemical production projects using crude oil as raw materials has become stricter. The production capacity growth rate of domestic PX has slowed down significantly [8] - In the future, ethylene project construction may be subject to strict national approval. Although new production capacity will bring pressure, strengthening project approval may relieve the pressure of continuous production [8] - Overseas, the scale of naphtha cracking production capacity tends to shrink, and the improvement of the overseas olefin supply - demand pattern will help relieve China's import pressure [9] 4. Summary and outlook - The petrochemical industry has an oversupply of traditional products and poor profitability. The production capacity growth of some products has slowed down, and the rapid growth of polyester industry production capacity may end [11] - The proportion of old - fashioned production capacity in the industry is relatively low, and the impact of policies is expected to be limited. Attention should be paid to the upgrading and withdrawal of supporting facilities of small - scale old - fashioned refining capacity [11] - In the future, the trend of reducing oil and increasing chemicals will continue, and policy regulation will focus on olefin downstream products, reducing supply growth and relieving the pressure of concentrated production [11]

Core Viewpoint - PTA futures experienced a slight decline of 0.29%, closing at 4784.00 yuan/ton, indicating a downward trend in the market [1] Industry Summary - A 1.2 million ton PTA facility in East China has recently been shut down, with an uncertain restart timeline. The new 3.2 million ton PTA facility is currently operating at 80-90% capacity [2] - As of the week ending August 28, PTA factory inventory stands at 3.81 days, an increase of 0.1 days from the previous week and up 0.05 days year-on-year [2] - On August 28, the number of PTA futures warehouse receipts was 29,938, a decrease of 1,002 from the previous trading day [2] Institutional Perspectives - Donghai Futures noted that aside from increased short positions in PTA, the overall market has shown a downward trend. However, adjustments in domestic and Korean petrochemical capacities may stabilize the sector in the short term, with environmental regulations causing temporary shutdowns in Huizhou providing some support. The basis has slightly recovered, reducing to levels seen in January to mid-February. Downstream operating rates have rebounded to 89.9%, with inventory replenishment accelerating ahead of the peak season, suggesting a potential slight inventory reduction in September [3] - Ningzheng Futures highlighted a decrease in PTA operating rates and social inventory. With an improving macroeconomic environment and expectations for traditional demand peaks in September and October, downstream polyester operating rates are stabilizing, although sustainability remains uncertain. On the cost side, the supply-demand outlook for PX has weakened marginally in August, with crude oil showing a weak fluctuation [3]
