中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网3月30日路透社报道，加拿大能源监管机构（CER）周三表示，由于国内管道供应增加，而纽芬兰的一家大型炼油厂仍处于闲置状态，2021年加拿大的原油进口量降至30多年来的最低水平。
CER在一份分析报告中称，2021年进口量下降了近20%，从2020年的57.9万桶/天降至47.3万桶/天。
该监管机构表示，多种因素导致进口量下降，包括流入安大略省/魁北克的国内原油管道增加，以及Cresta基金管理公司拥有的纽芬兰日产13.5万桶的卡姆拜钱斯（Come-by-Chance）炼油厂仍处于闲置状态。
据CER的分析称，随着全球原油价格在新冠疫情后于2021年回升，2021年进口原油的总成本为147亿美元，较2020年的113亿美元增长30%。
加拿大是世界第四大原油生产国，出口量约为 370 万桶/天，但其大部分产量来自西部的阿尔伯塔省。
从美国进口的石油占比从2020年的75%下降到2021年的66%。沙特阿拉伯占15%，尼日利亚占13%。
2021年，来自尼日利亚的进口量增加了近4万桶/天，是进口量同比变化最大的国家。
据CER称，虽然加拿大生产的原油超过了其炼油厂生产精炼石油产品 (RPP) 所需的数量，但加拿大西部省份仍然进口原油，因为它们远离主要生产来源。
2021年RPP进口量增加7%，从2020年的42.2万桶/天增至45万桶/天，其中阿尔伯塔省进口的RPP占加拿大总进口量的近一半。美国供应最多(76%)，其次是荷兰(8%)。

Canadian 2021 Crude Imports Slid to Lowest Since 1988, Says CER
Crude oil imports into Canada in 2021 dropped to their lowest in more than three decades as domestic supply from pipelines increased while a major refinery in Newfoundland remained idle, the Canada Energy Regulator said on Wednesday.
Imports decreased by nearly 20% in 2021 to 473,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) from 579,000 bpd in 2020, the CER said in an analysis.
A variety of factors contributed to the dip, including pipelines flowing more domestic crude into Ontario/Quebec and the Cresta Fund Management-owned 135,000 bbl/d Come-by-Chance Refinery in Newfoundland remaining idle, the regulator said.
The total cost of imported crude oil was $14.7 billion in 2021, an increase of 30% from 2020 at $11.3 billion, following global crude prices recovering in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic, the analysis from the CER said.
Canada is the world's fourth-largest crude producer and exports around 3.7 million bbl/d, but most of its production comes from the western province of Alberta.
The percentage of barrels imported from the United States down to 66% in 2021 from 75% in 2020. Saudi Arabia supplied 15%, while Nigeria supplied 13%.
Imports from Nigeria increased nearly 40,000 bbl/d in 2021, the largest year-on-year change for of imports from any country.
While Canada produces more crude than its refineries require to produce refined petroleum products (RPPs) from, western provinces in Canada still import crude oil as they are located away from major production sources, CER said.
Imports of RPPs increased by 7%, to 450,000 bbl/d in 2021 from 422,000 bpd in 2020, with Alberta importing nearly half of Canada’s total imported RPPs. The United States supplied the most (76%), followed by the Netherlands (8%).
