石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据东京普氏能源资讯5月10日消息，一名高级公司官员周四表示，如果美国决定重新对欧佩克产油国实施制裁，日本炼油企业Cosmo Oil可能会用科威特原油替代伊朗石油进口。 Cosmo Energy Holdings董事兼高管Kenichi Taki在财报发布会上表示，该公司并不过分担心阻碍伊朗原油供应的障碍。 Taki说，伊朗的等级占了Cosmo原油进口的4%-5%，可以用科威特原油或其他等级来改变。 Cosmo Oil在日本的三家炼油厂的总炼油能力为36.3万桶/日。 市场参与者表示，在日本和韩国的各种终端用户都已加紧努力，使其原油采购来源多样化，因为他们与德黑兰的贸易活动将在未来几个季度受到限制。 日本最大的炼油企业日本石油和能源周三表示，如果无法维持伊朗原油进口，它将考虑从中东和西非寻求替代供应。 在韩国，SK Innovation最近表示，该公司已经大幅减少了伊朗的冷凝水和原油进口，并增加了来自俄罗斯和哈萨克斯坦等替代能源的轻质原油进口。 美国财政部的一份简报显示，在美国重新对石油、能源、航运和保险行业实施制裁之前，伊朗石油的国际买家必须在11月4日前解除合同。 事实证明，美国还将考虑允许各国继续进口伊朗原油，只要它们表明它们每180天大幅减少这些原油的进口量。 胡晶晶摘译自普氏能源资讯 原文如下 Japanese refiner Cosmo Oil may substitute Iranian oil imports with Kuwaiti crude, if the company faces difficulty trading with Tehran following the US decision to re-impose sanctions on the OPEC producer, a senior company official Thursday said. Speaking at an earnings press briefing, Cosmo Energy Holdings’ director and senior executive Kenichi Taki said the company was not overly concerned about the barriers blocking access to Iranian crude supply going forward. Iranian grades account for 4%-5% of Cosmo’s crude feedstock imports and it can be altered with Kuwaiti crude or other grades, Taki said. Cosmo Oil has a combined refining capacity of 363,000 b/d from three refineries in Japan. Cosmo’s announcement did not come as a big surprise as various end-users in Japan, as well as in South Korea, have stepped up efforts to diversify their crude procurement sources as their trading activities with Tehran would be limited in the coming quarters, market participants said. Japan’s largest refiner JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy Wednesday said that it would consider seeking alternative supplies from the Middle East and West Africa if it was unable to maintain its Iranian crude oil imports. In South Korea, SK Innovation recently said that the company had already sharply reduced Iranian condensate and crude imports, and increased light sweet crude imports from alternative sources such as Russia and Kazakhstan. International buyers of Iranian oil have until November 4 to wind down contracts before the US re-imposes sanctions on the oil, energy, shipping and insurance sectors, a US Treasury Department fact sheet showed. The US will also consider allowing countries to continue importing Iranian crude as long as they demonstrate that they are significantly reducing those volumes every 180 days, the fact sheet showed.
