據能源世界網7月20日里約熱內盧/墨西哥城報道，今年上半年，巴西增加了對亞洲的原油出口，從全球競爭對手手中奪走了一個令人垂涎的發展中市場的一部分。全球競爭對手曾創紀錄地削減出口，以應對疫情造成的前所未有的需求下降。

巴西原油出口的增加反映出，隨著巴西大規模海上項目投入運營，該國在全球石油生產國中的影響力日益增強。據國際能源署(International Energy Agency)稱，未來五年，預計巴西將成為石油輸出國組織(Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries)以外國家向全球供應增幅最大的國家之一。

貿易商稱，正當亞洲其他國家重新開放經濟，以及西方國家為遏制疫情的傳播而采取封鎖措施之際，國有石油公司巴西國家石油公司（Petrobras）為亞洲煉油廠提供了相對優質原油的競爭性交易。

卡斯特羅·布蘭科（Castello Branco）表示，由于巴西的需求一直在復蘇，因此沒有更多的產品可以進一步促進出口。

根據Refinitiv Eikon的貿易數據顯示，今年上半年，亞洲平均每天從巴西進口107萬桶石油，同比增長30％。

根據數據顯示，6月創紀錄的162萬桶/日的巴西原油運抵亞洲港口，幾乎是2019年6月的三倍。

ANALYSIS-Brazil boosts oil exports to Asia as global rivals make record cuts

Brazil increased crude exports to Asia in the first half of the year, stealing a slice of a coveted developing market from global rivals who made record cuts to shipments to match the unprecedented fall in demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The rise reflects Brazil's growing clout among global oil producers as its massive offshore projects come online. Brazil is expected to deliver one of the biggest increases to global supply in the next five years from nations outside of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, according to the International Energy Agency.

State oil firm Petrobras offered Asian refiners competitive deals on relatively high-quality oil just as other countries in the region reopened their economies and as Western nations went into lockdowns to curb the spread of coronavirus, traders said.

Castello Branco said there was no more to sell to further boost exports, because demand in Brazil has been recovering.

Asia imported an average of 1.07 million barrels per day of oil from Brazil in the first half of the year, 30 per cent year-on-year hike, according to Refinitiv Eikon's trade flows data.

A record 1.62 million bpd of Brazilian crude arrived in Asian ports in June, almost triple the volume in June 2019, according to the data.
