石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社孟买/新加坡8月23日消息，印度信实工业公司的一位高管周三表示，公司预计营业利润将提高，同时将增加石脑油的出口，因为公司的石化项目转向使用廉价的乙烷原料。 信实工业石化业务首席运营官Vipul Shah表示，本财年公司的石脑油出口量将增加50万吨。 亚洲当前面临石脑油结构性供应短缺，主要依赖于西方和中东的石脑油填补大部分供应缺口。 Shah在一次会议上表示，信实工业计划2017-2018财年从北美进口140万吨乙烷，下一财年将增加至160万吨。 该公司位于印度西部的Dahej、Hazira和 Nagothane裂解装置将使用乙烷作为原料。此前Dahej和Nagothane裂解装置使用天然气作为原料，而Hazira裂解装置使用石脑油为原料。 Shah表示：“因为我们将有能力使用140万吨/年的乙烷作为裂解原料，因此本财年我们的营业利润将增加3亿美元。” Shah预计如果市场环境没有发生大的变化，那么下一财年公司的营业利润将增加4亿美元。 为了削减营业成本，信实工业已经购买了六艘超大型乙烷运输船只。 市场人士表示，来自于信实工业的新增石脑油出口预计将对市场产生一定的影响，尽管亚洲石脑油市场取决于来自于中东和西方包括欧洲的石脑油船货。 新加坡一位交易员表示：“信实工业新增石脑油出口的影响应该不会太大，估计每月会新增1-2艘中型（MR）规模油轮的石脑油船货。一艘MR油轮可以装载约3万吨的石脑油。 唐绍红 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： India’s Reliance to boost profit, naphtha exports by using ethane India’s Reliance Industries Ltd expects to increase operating profit and naphtha exports as it switches to cheaper ethane at its petrochemical projects, a company executive said on Wednesday. Reliance’s annual naphtha exports will rise by 500,000 t this fiscal year, said Vipul Shah, chief operating officer for petrochemicals at Reliance. Asia is structurally short of naphtha and relies on the West and Middle East to fill most of the gaps. Reliance aims to import 1.4 MMt of ethane from North America in 2017–2018, rising to 1.6 MMt from the next fiscal year, said Shah at a conference. The conglomerate will use ethane at its crackers at Dahej, Hazira and Nagothane in western India. Previously, the Dahej and Nagothane plants were running on gas, while Hazira was using naphtha as feedstock. “Since we will be able to bring in 1.4 MMt of ethane our operating profit can go up by $300 MMthis fiscal year,” Shah said. Shah expects the company’s operating profit to rise by up to $400 MM in the 2018-19 fiscal year if market dynamics do not change significantly. To cut its operating costs, Reliance has bought six very large ethane carriers. Reliance has no plans to convert its naphtha-based cracker at Vadodra in western Gujarat state to ethane, Shah added. Additional naphtha exports from Reliance are expected to have little impact on the market, trade sources said, although it depends on cargoes arriving in Asia from the Middle East and the West, including Europe. “The impact should not be that bad. It works out to an addition of one to two medium range (MR) size tankers of naphtha more (in a month),” said a Singapore-based trader. One MR cargo is about 30,000 t.
