   据能源世界网6月24日报道,根据贸易消息来源提供的油轮数据显示,5月中东原油在印度石油进口中的份额降至25个月低点,炼油商纷纷寻求替代能源,以应对政府的多样化供应呼吁。

  在石油输出国组织(OPEC)及其盟国(以最大出口国沙特阿拉伯为首)无视印度放松供应限制的呼吁后,这个世界第三大石油进口国印度3月指示炼油商实现原油来源多样化。

  根据数据显示,亚洲第三大经济体5月份石油日进口量约420万桶,略低于前一个月,但比上年同期增长约31.5%。中东地区的份额从4月份的67.9%下降至52.7%,为2019年4月以来的最低水平。从沙特阿拉伯(仅次于伊拉克的印度第二大供应国)的进口较上年同期下滑约四分之一,而从阿联酋(阿联酋从4月份的第3位降至第7位)的进口量则下降了39%。

  此前,印度国有炼油商提名5月份从沙特阿拉伯减少石油进口量。

  中东石油购买量下降,将欧佩克在印度石油进口中的份额拉至历史最低水平。

  为了取代中东的石油,炼油商增加了从拉丁美洲、美国和地中海的进口。

  Refinitiv石油研究和预测的首席分析师Ehsan Ul-Haq表示,印度炼油商3月份购买了更多富含汽油的美国石油,预计未来几个月印度国内汽油需求将继续复苏。

  由于对轻质油的强劲需求,尼日利亚的排名提高了两级,在5月份成为印度的第三大供应国。

  然而,印度私营炼油商信实工业(Reliance Industries)和纳亚拉能源(Nayara Energy)将加拿大重油的购买量提高到了创纪录的24.4万桶/天,相当于印度总进口量的6%左右。

  UlHaq称,印度购买哈萨克斯坦的CPC调和混合油和加拿大的石油,这是因为与布伦特原油和WTI原油相比,前者有着诱人的折扣。

  与政府的初步数据相比,油轮到达的数据显示进口增加,因为上个月印度沿海的飓风推迟了货物的卸货。

  Middle East's share of India's oil imports hits 25-month low

  The share of Middle Eastern crude in India's oil imports fell to a 25-month low in May, tanker data provided by trade sources showed, as refiners tapped alternatives in response to the government's call to diversify supplies.

  India, the world's third biggest oil importer, in March directed refiners to diversify crude sources after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, led by top exporter Saudi Arabia, ignored New Delhi's call to ease supply curbs.

  Asia's third-largest economy imported about 4.2 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil in May, just below the previous month but about 31.5% higher than a year earlier, the data showed.

  The Middle East's share dropped to 52.7%, the lowest since April 2019 and down from 67.9% in April, the data showed.

  imports from Saudi Arabia, India's second-largest supplier after Iraq, slipped by about a quarter from a year earlier, while supplies from the United Arab Emirates, which dropped to No. 7 position from No. 3 in April, fell by 39%, the data showed.

  This comes after Indian state refiners nominated to lift less oil from Saudi Arabia in May.

  Lower purchases of oil from the Middle East dragged OPEC's share of Indian oil imports to a record low.

  To replace Middle Eastern oil, refiners hiked imports from Latin America, the United States and the Mediterranean.

  Indian refiners bought higher volumes of gasoline-rich U.S. oil in March, expecting a recovery in local gasoline demand to continue in the months ahead, said Ehsan Ul-Haq, lead analyst for Oil Research and Forecasts at Refinitiv.

  Strong demand for light crude saw Nigeria improving its ranking by two notches to become the No. 3 supplier to India in May.

  Private Indian refiners Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy, however, boosted purchases of Canadian heavy oil to a record 244,000 bpd, equivalent to about 6% of India's overall imports.

  "Indians bought Kazakhstan's CPC blend and Canadian oil due to attractive discounts in comparison to dated Brent and WTI, respectively," Ul-Haq said.

  Tanker arrival data showed higher imports in contrast to preliminary government data, as cyclones along India's coast line last month delayed discharge of cargoes.
