據OilNOW網站1月20日消息：周三，伊拉克至土耳其的輸油管道發生火災，暫時停止了石油流動，增加了人們對本已緊張的短期供應前景的擔憂，油價上漲。

基爾庫克-杰伊漢輸油管道恢復了原油輸送，該管道將原油從伊拉克北部（歐佩克第二大生產國）輸送至土耳其杰伊漢港進行出口。

一名高級安全消息人士表示，土耳其東南部省份的輸油管道起火的爆炸是由一個墜落的電力塔引起，而不是襲擊。

本周，也門的胡塞集團襲擊了歐佩克第三大石油生產國阿拉伯聯合酋長國。供應擔憂加劇。

布倫特原油期貨價格上漲93美分，漲幅1.1%，至每桶88.44美元。全球基準指數早些時候觸及89.13美元，為2014年10月13日以來的最高水平。

美國西得克薩斯中質原油期貨價格上漲1.53美元，至每桶86.96美元，為2014年10月9日以來的最高水平。

Oil continues rally as Brent hits $88

Oil prices settled higher on Wednesday after a fire on a pipeline from Iraq to Turkey briefly stopped flows, increasing concerns about an already tight short-term supply outlook.

Flows have resumed through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline that carries crude from northern Iraq, the second-largest producer in the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, to the Turkish port of Ceyhan for export.

The explosion that set off the fire on the pipeline in the southeastern Turkish province was caused by a falling power pylon, not an attack, a senior security source said.

Supply concerns mounted this week after Yemen’s Houthi group attacked the United Arab Emirates, OPEC’s third-largest producer,  stoking fears of invasion.

Brent crude futures settled up 93 cents, or 1.1%, at $88.44 a barrel. The global benchmark earlier touched $89.13, its highest level since Oct. 13, 2014.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures settled up $1.53 at $86.96 a barrel, its highest level since Oct. 9, 2014.
