中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工网站5月27日消息 日本炼油厂可能再次被迫关闭产能，除非出现冠状病毒疫情好转的强劲表现。 日本炼油厂受到了国内燃料使用量下降、韩国新炼油厂的竞争在其他市场占据主导地位的冲击。 日本出光兴产周二公布了一份年度亏损报告，就如其竞争对手最近几天的举措一致。 日本第二大炼油厂执行官Noriaki Sakai表示，预计到2021年3月，日本第二大炼油厂的燃料销量将下降30%。公司总统Shunichi Kito表示，该公司可能需要考虑在2020年中期采取一些措施（整合炼油厂）。” 日本最大的炼油商JXTG控股公司总裁Tsutomu Sugimori上周在财报会议上表示：“自2017年合并以来，我们一直在考虑合并炼油厂，同时将调整生产设施，以反映需求的减弱。” 占市场约一半份额的JXTG已经决定与合作伙伴中石油关闭大阪的一家炼油厂，并关闭位于北海道的Muroran炼油厂。 BP能源统计评论的数据显示，日本炼油能力在1982年达到峰值，至560万桶/天。 目前，该公司在大部分老化炼油厂的产能约为340万桶/天，据工业部估计，到本世纪末，产能可能降至230万桶/天。 吴恒磊 编译自 烃加工 原文如下： Japan's refiners facing stagnant market may cut capacity Japanese refineries may be forced to shut down capacity once again unless they see a strong recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. They’ve been hit by declining use for fuel at home, competition from newer refineries in South Korea dominating in other markets, as well. Idemitsu Kosan on Tuesday reported an annual loss, like its competitors have done in recent days. Executive Officer Noriaki Sakai said Japan’s second-biggest refiner expects fuel sales to fall 30% in the year through March 2021 while President Shunichi Kito said the company “may need to consider some measures (to consolidate refineries) in the mid-2020s”. Tsutomu Sugimori, president of JXTG Holdings, Japan’s biggest refiner, told an earnings conference last week: “We have been considering consolidation of refineries since our merger in 2017. We will adjust our production facilities to reflect weakening demand.” JXTG, which accounts for about half of the market, has already decided to shut a refinery in Osaka with partner PetroChina and shut its Muroran refinery in Hokkaido. Japan’s oil refining capacity peaked at 5.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in 1982, data from the BP Statistical Review of Energy shows. It currently has about 3.4 million bpd of capacity in mostly aging refineries and industry ministry estimates suggest that could fall to 2.3 million bpd by the end of the decade. |
