據OE網站4月2日報道，海上商業情報公司《世界能源報告》期刊（World Energy Reports）負責人吉姆?麥考爾（JimMcCaul）表示，過去一個月，受原油價格上漲的推動，浮式生產裝置的訂單出現反彈。

麥考爾的評估基于《世界能源報告》編制的一份新的浮式采油系統報告中的數據。該報告提供了206個處于規劃階段的浮式裝置項目、44個已訂購的生產或儲存浮式裝置、307個正在使用的浮式生產裝置和44個可用于重新部署合同的生產浮式裝置的詳細情況。

正如報告中所述，自2月下旬以來，已經訂購了三艘生產浮式裝置。BW Offshore獲得供應Barossa FPSO的合同，SBM Offshore簽署了供應Buzios#6 FPSO的意向書。

根據麥考爾的說法，訂購活動是由每桶60美元的原油價格推動的，反映了全球石油需求的逐漸復蘇和歐佩克+石油供應的削減。

麥考爾進一步指出，“原油庫存一直在攀升，美國原油庫存目前比季節性水平高出6%。”

盡管發現了一些負面影響，例如對政府干預巴西石油公司（Petrobras）導致董事會辭職的持續擔憂，但麥考爾補充道，人們仍然廣泛預期，隨著新冠疫情危機逐漸成為過去，全球石油需求將在未來幾年大幅反彈。”

Floating Production Systems Market Bounces Back on Recovering Oil Prices

Orders for production floaters have bounced back over the past month driven by rising crude prices, according to Jim McCaul, head of offshore business intelligence firm World Energy Reports.

McCaul bases his assessment on data in a new floating production systems report prepared by World Energy Reports. The report provides details for 206 floater projects in the planning stage, 44 production or storage floaters now on order, 307 floating production units currently in service and 44 production floaters available for redeployment contracts.

As detailed in the report, three production floaters have been ordered since late February. BW Offshore received a contract to supply the Barossa FPSO, SBM Offshore signed an LOI to supply the Buzios #6 FPSO.

According to McCaul, the ordering activity is driven by crude prices trading in the $60s, “reflecting the gradual recovery of global oil demand and OPEC+ curtailment of oil supply”.

McCaul further points out that “crude inventory has been creeping higher and the US crude inventory is now 6% above seasonal levels.”

Despite identifying a few negative influences, such as continuing concerns over government interference at Petrobras which resulted in board resignations, McCaul added that “there continues to be wide expectation that global oil demand will rebound sharply over the next few years as the Covid crisis recedes into the past”.
