北韓的石油動靜:
"According to the 1718 Committee website, which tracks reports of oil shipments to North Korea, no U.N. member state recorded an oil export to North Korea in April. China reported a small export the month prior, its first such report since September 2020, though perhaps the website has yet to be updated for more recent transfers."
[ Yet in their most recent report published in March this year, the U.N. PoE noted that in 2020, North Korea exceeded the U.N.-mandated cap on oil imports by “several times the annual aggregate” of 500,000 barrels per year. ]
石油再度重回檯面焦點:
"根據法律上規定，石油的國家儲備通常是該國日輸入量的90天分量以上容量。根據資源能源廳所述，在9月底的時間點的單日消費量可供國內145天分使用。儲備釋出通常是限於石油供給不足及地震等國内災害時等問題，在面對價格上昇的對應政策時，通常不會假設到釋出石油，但根據其他相關人士所透露，日本政府將會視法律允許的範圍内檢討石油可能的釋出量。"
OPEC內部也各有盤算：
＂To compensate for the new supply, Riyadh and Moscow are now considering a pause of the group’s monthly collective increase, OPEC delegates said. The U.A.E., a powerful OPEC member that has clashed with Saudi Arabia over OPEC policy in the past, and Kuwait are resisting a pause, according to the delegates.＂
中國的石油戰略：
“We’re seeing China embed itself more in Middle Eastern energy markets, and that goes hand-in-hand with them trying to expand their political influence in the region,”
刑事決議意味著接下來中間人與白手套要款包袱了:
"美方已根據恐怖主義和洗錢法規，成功扣押總價高達數百萬美元違禁原油逾九十八萬桶，為史上第一項涉及違反美國制裁非法銷售和運輸伊朗石油的刑事決議。"
