石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社2月18日新德里/新加坡报道，印度最大的炼油商印度石油公司(Indian Oil Corp)董事长周一表示，该公司已签署首份购买美国石油的年度协议，在截至2020年3月的一年里，以约15亿美元的价格每天购买6万桶美国石油，以实现原油来源的多样化。 IOC是第一家根据年度合同购买美国石油的印度炼油商。这项协议还将有助于促进新德里和华盛顿之间的贸易。 该公司此前曾从现货市场购买美国石油，并在8月签署了一项在11月至1月期间购买600万桶美国石油的短期协议。 IOC主席Sanjiv Singh说，年度合同将从4月开始。他以保密为由，拒绝透露卖家的姓名或价格细节。 一位未获授权接受媒体采访的贸易消息人士称，IOC与挪威石油公司Equinox签署了协议，后者将供应多种美国原油等级。 Equinox已在新德里设立办事处，以支持石油营销和交易。该公司拒绝置评。 印度大约75%的石油需求是通过长期协议购买的，主要是与欧佩克国家达成的协议。 咨询公司FGE驻新加坡的苏伊士石油(Suez oil)东部主管Sri Paravaikkarasu表示，这项长期协议将有助于降低IOC对欧佩克原油的依赖。 孔丽炜 摘译自路透社 原文如下： Indian Oil signs first annual deal for U.S. oil Indian Oil Corp, the country’s top refiner, has signed its first annual deal to buy U.S. oil, paying about $1.5 billion for 60,000 barrels a day in the year to March 2020 to diversify its crude sources, its chairman said on Monday. IOC is the first Indian state refiner to buy U.S. oil under an annual contract, in a deal that will also help boost trade between New Delhi and Washington. The company has previously purchased U.S. oil from spot markets and signed a mini-term deal in August to buy 6 million barrels of U.S. oil between November and January. IOC chairman Sanjiv Singh said the annual contract will begin from April. He declined to give the name of the seller or pricing details, citing confidentiality. A trade source, who is not authorised to speak to media, said IOC signed the deal with Norwegian oil company Equinor which will supply a variety of U.S. crude grades. Equinor, which has set up an office in New Delhi to support oil marketing and trading, declined to comment. Indian Oil buys about 75 percent of its oil needs through long-term deals, mostly with OPEC nations. The term deal will help cut IOC’s dependence on OPEC crude, said Sri Paravaikkarasu, head of east of Suez oil for consultants FGE in Singapore.
