中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月17日纽约/新德里报道,由于印度国内的炼油企业时下正在加大“试验”购买美国等级原油来多元化它们的进口来源,印度在未来的几个月里有望成为美国原油出口的一个主要市场。 美国的原油出口最近创下了一个周记录,每天有近200万桶原油被运往海外。但自2015年底美国取消对原油出口的禁令以来,美国对印度的原油出口一直很罕见。 由于印度寻求从中东以外地区获得更多的供应,印度的炼油企业开始增加购买。印度的炼油企业在他们的炼油厂里正在试验美国的低硫原油和美国的含硫原油。这是从新来源进口原油的一种常见做法。 印度炼油企业时下正在利用美国石油和全球其它基准原油之间的广泛价差,而这种价差为美国等级原油创造了一个有吸引力的折扣。 李峻 编译自 路透社 原文如下: Newest Outpost For US Crude Exports: India India is set to emerge as a key market for American crude exports in coming months, as refineries in that country are ramping up “test” purchases of U.S. grades to diversify their imports. U.S. exports recently set a weekly record with nearly 2 million barrels of crude a day sent overseas. But shipments to India have been rare, with just a few deliveries since the U.S. lifted its ban on crude exports in late 2015. Indian refineries are starting to increase purchases as the country seeks to secure more supply from outside the Middle East. Refiners are testing both U.S. sweet and sour crudes in their facilities, a common practice when importing crude from new sources. Those refiners are taking advantage of a wide spread between U.S. oil and other global benchmarks, which has created an attractive discount on American crude grades.
