據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)6月24日?qǐng)?bào)道，根據(jù)貿(mào)易消息來(lái)源提供的油輪數(shù)據(jù)顯示，5月中東原油在印度石油進(jìn)口中的份額降至25個(gè)月低點(diǎn)，煉油商紛紛尋求替代能源，以應(yīng)對(duì)政府的多樣化供應(yīng)呼吁。

　　在石油輸出國(guó)組織（OPEC）及其盟國(guó)（以最大出口國(guó)沙特阿拉伯為首）無(wú)視印度放松供應(yīng)限制的呼吁后，這個(gè)世界第三大石油進(jìn)口國(guó)印度3月指示煉油商實(shí)現(xiàn)原油來(lái)源多樣化。

　　根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，亞洲第三大經(jīng)濟(jì)體5月份石油日進(jìn)口量約420萬(wàn)桶，略低于前一個(gè)月，但比上年同期增長(zhǎng)約31.5%。中東地區(qū)的份額從4月份的67.9%下降至52.7%，為2019年4月以來(lái)的最低水平。從沙特阿拉伯（僅次于伊拉克的印度第二大供應(yīng)國(guó)）的進(jìn)口較上年同期下滑約四分之一，而從阿聯(lián)酋（阿聯(lián)酋從4月份的第3位降至第7位）的進(jìn)口量則下降了39%。

　　此前，印度國(guó)有煉油商提名5月份從沙特阿拉伯減少石油進(jìn)口量。

　　中東石油購(gòu)買(mǎi)量下降，將歐佩克在印度石油進(jìn)口中的份額拉至歷史最低水平。

　　為了取代中東的石油，煉油商增加了從拉丁美洲、美國(guó)和地中海的進(jìn)口。

　　Refinitiv石油研究和預(yù)測(cè)的首席分析師Ehsan Ul-Haq表示，印度煉油商3月份購(gòu)買(mǎi)了更多富含汽油的美國(guó)石油，預(yù)計(jì)未來(lái)幾個(gè)月印度國(guó)內(nèi)汽油需求將繼續(xù)復(fù)蘇。

　　由于對(duì)輕質(zhì)油的強(qiáng)勁需求，尼日利亞的排名提高了兩級(jí)，在5月份成為印度的第三大供應(yīng)國(guó)。

　　然而，印度私營(yíng)煉油商信實(shí)工業(yè)(Reliance Industries)和納亞拉能源(Nayara Energy)將加拿大重油的購(gòu)買(mǎi)量提高到了創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的24.4萬(wàn)桶/天，相當(dāng)于印度總進(jìn)口量的6%左右。

　　UlHaq稱，印度購(gòu)買(mǎi)哈薩克斯坦的CPC調(diào)和混合油和加拿大的石油，這是因?yàn)榕c布倫特原油和WTI原油相比，前者有著誘人的折扣。

　　與政府的初步數(shù)據(jù)相比，油輪到達(dá)的數(shù)據(jù)顯示進(jìn)口增加，因?yàn)樯蟼€(gè)月印度沿海的颶風(fēng)推遲了貨物的卸貨。

　　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.
