据天然气加工9月7日消息称，随着美国页岩油产量的增长，石油巨头BP计划向亚洲出售更多的美国原油，寻求从这个全球主要需求地区的增长中获利。

这一策略是在路透对公司高管的采访中概述的。此前，BP去年收购了矿业巨头必和必拓在美国多产的二叠纪页岩盆地的资产，预计将提振其轻质低硫原油产量。

BP负责东半球供应和贸易的首席执行官Sharon Weintraub表示：“亚洲是能源需求增长的关键地区。”她没有具体说明英国石油在亚洲销售的增长目标。

Weintraub称:"我们最近收购了必和必拓在美国的资产，因此未来几年我们的股票投资组合将有更多二叠纪原油进入市场。”

东半球业务供应与交易分析主管Zoe Anderson表示:“我们的想法是，是的，我们想把美国原油供应送到亚洲。”

BP一直积极将美国原油到亚洲,把货物卖给日本、澳大利亚、泰国和越南,因为该公司正与西方石油公司、托克、壳牌、埃克森美孚、雪佛龙和沙特阿美贸易公司等大型石油生产商和交易商在这个全球增长最快的市场争夺业务。

BP正将多种轻质原油运往亚洲，如西德克萨斯中质原油、米德兰中质原油和鹰福特中质原油，以及中酸级玛氏原油和雷马原油。

BP aims to sell more U.S. crude to Asia, boost LNG supplies in early 2020s

Oil major BP plans to sell more U.S. crude to Asia as its shale oil production grows, seeking to capitalize on growth in the world’s key demand region.

The strategy, outlined in a Reuters interview with company executives, follows BP’s move to acquire giant miner BHP’s (BHP.AX) assets in the United States’ prolific Permian shale basin last year, expected to give its portfolio a boost in light-sweet crude production.

“This (Asia) is a key growth region” for energy demand, said Sharon Weintraub, BP’s chief executive officer of supply and trading for the eastern hemisphere. She didn’t specify BP’s growth targets for Asia sales.

“We recently bought BHP’s assets in our U.S. business so we have a greater amount of Permian crude coming to market over the next few years in terms of our equity portfolio,” Weintraub said.

Zoe Anderson, head of analytics at the supply and trading, eastern hemisphere business, said, “The idea is, yes, we want to send (U.S. crude) supply here (Asia).”

BP has been actively shipping U.S. crude to Asia, having sold cargoes to Japan, Australia, Thailand and Vietnam as it jostles for business in the world’s fastest-growing market with other giant producers and traders like Occidental (OXY.N), Trafigura, Royal Dutch Shell(RDSa.L), Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), Chevron (CVX.N) and Aramco Trading Co.

BP ships a variety of light crudes to Asia, such as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Midland and Eagle Ford, and medium-sour grades Mars and Thunder Horse.
