據OE網站5月7日報道，英國石油中游合作伙伴公司（BP Midstream Partners LP）高管周四表示，該公司第一季度的海上管道輸送量增長了12%，但陸上石油和成品油管道需求滯后。

　　該公司首席財務官杰克?柯林斯(Jack Collins)在公司業績電話會議上表示，總體而言，在截至3月31日的三個月里，英國石油中游管道的原油和成品油出貨量較2020年第四季度增加了8%，達到每日170萬桶。

　　柯林斯稱，第一季度海上輸油管道輸送的石油量——包括路易斯安那州附近日輸送量40萬桶的火星（Mars）原油管道——大幅增長，主要是因為第一季度的天氣比上一季度好，當時多次風暴迫使美國墨西哥灣沿岸的生產關閉。

　　包括River Rouge成品油管道和BP2原油管道在內的一些陸上管道的輸送量有所下降。River Rouge從BP位于印第安納州懷廷的煉油廠出發，而BP2則為該工廠提供供應。

　　柯林斯表示，新冠肺炎大流行造成的運輸和業務限制導致燃料需求下降，而BP2受到了對安橋干線管道（Enbridge Mainline pipeline）的需求的阻礙。向加拿大運輸稀釋劑的Diamondback管道在前三個月下降后，第一季度的季節性需求增加。

　　他稱，在截至6月30日的三個月里，BP Midstream預計BP2和River Rouge輸送量將上升，Diamondback需求將下降。預計管道的總體輸送量將持平。

　　BP中游的第一季度收入為2960萬美元，低于2020年第四季度的3070萬美元。

　　BP Midstream Partners' Offshore Pipeline Volumes Up

　　BP Midstream Partners LP (BPMP.N) offshore pipeline volumes increased by 12% in the first financial quarter, but onshore oil and refined products pipeline demand lagged, company executives said on Thursday.

　　Overall, the amount of crude oil and refined products shipped on BP Midstream pipelines was up 8% to 1.7 million barrels per day in the three months ended March 31 compared with the fourth quarter of 2020, Jack Collins, the company's chief financial officer, said on a company earnings call.

　　Oil volumes on offshore pipelines - including on the 400,000 barrel-per-day Mars crude oil line off of Louisiana - grew in the first quarter largely due to better weather than the previous quarter, when multiple storms forced U.S. Gulf Coast production to shut, Collins said.

　　Volumes fell on some on-land pipelines, including the River Rouge refined products pipeline and the BP2 crude oil pipeline. River Rouge ships out of BP's Whiting, Indiana refinery, while BP2 supplies the plant.

　　River Rouge suffered from lower fuel demand caused by COVID-19 pandemic transportation and business restrictions, while BP2 was hampered by demand for the Enbridge Mainline pipeline, Collins said.

　　The Diamondback pipeline, a transporter of diluent to Canada, saw higher seasonal demand in the first quarter after dipping the previous three months.

　　In the three months ending on June 30, BP Midstream expects BP2 and River Rouge volumes to rise and Diamondback demand to decrease, Collins said. Overall pipeline volumes are expected to be flat, he said.

　　BP Midstream's quarterly revenue was $29.6 million, down from $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
