据路透社1月24日报道称，据贸易消息人士周四称，伊拉克国家石油营销组织（SOMO）已售出200万桶巴士拉轻质原油，2月底装船，价格较官方售价（OSP）高出1.30美元/桶-1.40美元/桶的溢价。

他们表示，埃克森美孚可能已经购买了这批货物，于2月27日至28日装载，预计将运往欧洲。

其中一位消息人士表示，欧洲原油供应趋紧，以及巴士拉原油价格相对于俄罗斯乌拉尔同类优质原油价格具有竞争力，支撑了巴士拉的原油溢价。

Iraq sells end-Feb Basra Light crude at strong premium

Iraq's SOMO has sold 2 million barrels of Basra Light crude for end-February loading at a strong premium of $1.30-$1.40 a barrel to its official selling price (OSP), trade sources said on Thursday

Exxon Mobil has likely bought the cargo loading on Feb. 27-28, which is expected to head to Europe, they said

Tighter sour crude supplies in Europe and competitive Basra crude prices against similar quality Russian Urals have supported Basra's crude premiums, one of the sources said.
