沙特阿美总裁纳赛尔称中东局势对能源市场冲击"前所未见" 东西输油管道运力提至每 日700万桶
沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美公司）总裁兼首席执行官阿明·纳赛尔在 22 日播出的专访中表示，当
前中东局势对能源市场造成了前所未见的冲击。
纳赛尔说，危机爆发以来，全球原油供应比正常情况减少了大约 30 亿桶。若非全球战略储备释放，油价会
远超当前水平。
纳赛尔表示，沙特东西输油管道在维持市场原油供应上发挥着重要作用，该管道的输送能力已从每日约 200
万桶提升至每日 700 万桶。他预计，局势恢复正常后，市场日均原油需求将增加约 300 万桶，用于消费和
补充库存。
沙特原油传统上主要从东部港口经霍尔木兹海峡运往国际市场。东西输油管道把沙特东部产油区生产的原
油输送到西部延布港，是沙特应对霍尔木兹海峡风险的一道"安全阀"。不过，该输油管道近期多次遇袭，
引发安全担忧。
纳赛尔 10 月 12 日出席第二十五届世界石油理事会能源大会时曾表示，全球原油库存正逼近"极度危险"的
低位，可能需要两年时间才能恢复至正常水平。
Aramco CEO Nasser Says Middle East Turmoil's Impact on Energy Markets "Unprecedented"; East-West Pipeline Capacity Raised to 7 Million Bpd
The president and CEO of Saudi Aramco, Amin Nasser, said in an interview aired on Oct. 22 that the current Middle East situation has dealt an unprecedented blow to energy markets.
Nasser said that since the crisis began, global crude supply has fallen by about 3 billion barrels compared with normal levels. Without releases from global strategic reserves, oil prices would be far above current levels, he said.
The East-West pipeline has played an important role in keeping crude flowing to markets, Nasser said, with its throughput capacity raised from about 2 million barrels per day to 7 million barrels per day. He expects average daily crude demand to rise by about 3 million barrels once the situation normalizes, for consumption and inventory rebuilding.
Saudi crude has traditionally been shipped to international markets from eastern ports via the Strait of Hormuz. The East-West pipeline, which carries crude from Saudi Arabia's eastern producing regions to the western port of Yanbu, serves as a "safety valve" against Hormuz risk — though the pipeline has come under repeated attack recently, raising security concerns.
Speaking at the 25th World Petroleum Congress Energy Conference on Oct. 12, Nasser said global crude inventories were approaching "extremely dangerous" lows and could take two years to return to normal.
