中国石化新闻网讯 据8月24日Oil Monster消息：贸易数据显示，7月中东石油占印度石油进口的71.5%，为26个月来的最高份额，而从非洲的进口降至5%，为至少14年来的最低水平。 分析师表示，较低的燃料需求和微不足道的炼油利润，导致市场偏好中东含硫原油，而非非洲含硫原油。 印度是世界上第三大石油消费国，其石油需求的80％以上依赖进口。 Refinitiv分析师Ehsan Ul Haq表示:“自4月以来，由于炼油利润微薄，燃料需求大幅下降，印度炼油厂一直试图节省原油采购的每一分钱。他们被迫削减炼油厂的运行。” “印度炼油商大多在现货市场购买低硫产品，并根据与中东生产商的长期协议购买高硫产品。从中东进口有助于节省运费。炼厂选择增加与中东产油国的合约量，而不是进口成本高昂的布伦特原油。" Haq补充道。 印度7月石油进口量跌至9年多来的最低水平，降至每天约300万桶，原因是燃料需求低迷促使炼油厂关闭设备进行维修。 数据显示，7月从欧佩克国家的进口降至至少14年来的最低水平，为67.15％。从美国的进口增加也削弱了非洲在印度进口中的份额。而印度已经连续第二个月没有从委内瑞拉进口石油。 当月，伊拉克仍是印度最大的石油供应国，其次是沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国。美国成为第四大供应国，其次是科威特，哥伦比亚和卡塔尔。尼日利亚6月曾是印度的第五大供应国，如今则跌至第8位。 冯娟 摘译自 Oil Monster 原文如下: Middle East Share of India’s Oil Imports Hits 2-Year High in July Middle Eastern oil accounted for 71.5% of India’s oil imports in July, its highest share in 26 months, while imports from Africa fell to 5%, the lowest in at least 14 years, data from trade sources showed on Friday. Analysts said lower fuel demand and paltry refining margins had driven a preference for Middle Eastern sour grades over sweet African barrels. India, the world’s third-biggest oil consumer, imports more than 80% of its oil needs. “Since April Indian refiners are trying to save every single penny on crude purchases as refining margins are paltry and fuel demand has crashed. They are forced to cut refiners runs,” said Ehsan Ul Haq, an analyst with Refinitiv. Indian refiners mostly tap spot markets for low sulphur or sweet grades and buy sour grades under term deals with Middle Eastern producers. “Imports from Middle East help in saving freight cost. Refiners opted to lift committed volumes under contracts with Middle Eastern producers rather than taping costly brent-linked African oil that takes more than 20 days to reach India,” Haq added. DUB-EFS-1M India’s oil imports plunged to their lowest in over 9 years in July, falling to around 3 million barrels per day as low fuel demand encouraged refiners to shut units for maintenance. Imports from Opec countries dropped to their lowest in at least 14 years at 67.15% in July, data showed. Rising imports from the United States also dented Africa’s share in Indian imports. The sources declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media. India imported no oil from Venezuela for the second month in a row in July, the data showed. During the month Iraq retained its top oil supplier status to India followed by Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. The United States emerged as the fourth biggest supplier followed by Kuwait, Colombia and Qatar. Nigeria, which was the fifth largest supplier to India in June, dropped to eight position. |
