据普氏能源资讯2019年8月2日报道，一位知情人士告诉标准普尔全球普氏能源资讯记者，科威特石油公司（KPC）计划在今年第三季度开始向其亚洲客户出口一种新等级的重质高硫原油

这名消息人士说，这种新等级重质含硫原油的API度为16，其含硫量大约为4.9%。

消息人士对普氏能源资讯记者表示，这种来自科威特下法尔斯油田和Umm Niga油田的原油日产量目前为6万桶。

KPC最初打算向现有的定期客户提供这种等级的产品，并希望能取得与科威特超轻质原油（Super Light）类似的成功。科威特Super Light在2018年年中开始出口。

消息人士告诉普氏能源资讯记者：“这个等级的原油已有很好的需求，特别是来自印度人的需求。”

Kuwait to start selling new heavy crude grade to Asia in Q3 2019

Kuwait Petroleum Corporation plans to start exporting a new grade of heavy sour crude oil to its customers in Asia within the third quarter of this year, a source with knowledge of the matter told S&P Global Platts.

The crude grade has an API of 16 and sulfur content of around 4.9%, the source said.

The production rate of the crude, from the country's Lower Fars and Umm Niga fields, is currently 60,000 b/d, the source told Platts.

KPC intends to offer the grade to its existing term customers initially, and hopes to have similar success as with Kuwait Super Light, which the company first started exporting in mid-2018.

There is "already good demand for this grade, especially from the Indians," the source told Platts.
