???? 據離岸工程網站3月15日消息 周一油價上漲，布倫特原油價格逼近每桶70美元，數據顯示中國經濟復蘇在2021年初加速，提振了這個全球最大石油進口國的能源需求前景。
????截至格林威治時間07：48，布倫特原油期貨價格上漲57美分，漲幅0.8%，至每桶69.79美元，而美國西德克薩斯中質原油期貨價格上漲56美分，漲幅0.9%，至每桶66.17美元。
????數據顯示，1-2月，中國工業產出增長加快，超出預期。煉油廠日產量數據較上年同期增長15%。
????中國咨詢公司SIA能源的分析師Seng Yick Tee表示，中國重工業表現出強勁增長，水泥、鋼鐵、煤炭和鋁的產量較2019年疫情前增長了兩位數，并補充說，鑒于中國擁有龐大的基地，增長率“瘋狂”。
????他說，生產和運輸所有這些材料都需要能源。
????煉油廠消息人士周五對路透社表示，最大石油出口國沙特阿拉伯已削減至少四家北亞買家4月裝船原油供應，降幅高達15%，同時滿足印度煉油廠的正常月度需求，進一步支撐油價。
????減產之際，歐佩克+本月早些時候決定將大部分減產時間延長至4月份。
????來自貿易來源的數據顯示，2月初，美國超過沙特阿拉伯，成為印度第二大供應商。
????研究公司IIR能源上周五表示，美國煉油廠的周產能增長了160萬桶/天，因為在上個月得克薩斯州嚴重的冬季風暴期間，有更多的煉油廠恢復運營。
????另外，據貝克休斯公司稱，美國能源公司已將石油和天然氣鉆井平臺的運營數量減少了1部，這是自去年11月以來首次出現周下降。

????Oil Prices: Brent Heading Toward $70
????Oil prices rose on Monday, with Brent heading toward $70 a barrel, as data showed China's economic recovery accelerated at the start of 2021, boosting the energy demand outlook at the world's largest oil importer.
????Brent crude futures for May gained 57 cents, or 0.8%, to $69.79 a barrel by 0748 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for April was at $66.17 a barrel, up 56 cents, or 0.9%.
????China's industrial output growth quickened in January-February, beating expectations, while its daily refinery throughput data rose 15% from the same period a year ago, data showed.
????China's heavy industry has shown robust growth as its output of cement, steel, coal and aluminium registered double-digit growth compared with 2019's pre-COVID pandemic levels, said Seng Yick Tee, analyst at China consultancy SIA Energy, adding that the growth rates were "insane" given China's large bases.
????Producing and transporting all these materials requires energy, he said.
????Further supporting prices, top oil exporter Saudi Arabia has cut the supply of April-loading crude to at least four north Asian buyers by up to 15%, while meeting the normal monthly requirements of Indian refiners, refinery sources told Reuters on Friday.
????The supply cuts come as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, decided earlier this month to extend most of its supply cuts into April.
????Earlier in February, the United States overtook Saudi Arabia to be India's second-largest supplier, data from trade sources showed.
????In the United States, oil refiners' weekly capacity were seen up 1.6 million barrels per day, research company IIR Energy said on Friday, as more plants resume operations following outages during the severe winter storm in Texas last month.
????Separately, U.S. energy firms have cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating by one in the first weekly drop since November, according to Baker Hughes Co.
