據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)4月25日喬治敦/新德里報(bào)道，據(jù)一位圭亞那官員表示，作為世界第三大原油消費(fèi)國(guó)和進(jìn)口國(guó)的印度，已經(jīng)與圭亞那政府接洽，商討購(gòu)買(mǎi)該南美國(guó)家石油的長(zhǎng)期協(xié)議。
據(jù)圭亞那自然資源部長(zhǎng)巴克拉特（Vickram Bharrat）稱(chēng)，印度已表示有意購(gòu)買(mǎi)圭亞那政府有權(quán)購(gòu)買(mǎi)的100萬(wàn)桶原油貨物中的一批，以便在其煉油廠進(jìn)行原油測(cè)試。如果原油兼容，雙方可以就長(zhǎng)期協(xié)議展開(kāi)談判。
在過(guò)去的七年中，印度的石油需求增長(zhǎng)了25%，比其他任何國(guó)家都要多。印度官員已經(jīng)承諾利用該國(guó)作為主要采購(gòu)國(guó)的地位作為“武器”，努力保持低油價(jià)。
印度政府已經(jīng)在原油市場(chǎng)上施展其日益增長(zhǎng)的影響力。其發(fā)自內(nèi)心地反對(duì)歐佩克及其盟國(guó)，被稱(chēng)作歐佩克+組織延長(zhǎng)減產(chǎn)的決定，這一決定推高了油價(jià)。其還在尋求從最大產(chǎn)油國(guó)沙特阿拉伯以外，實(shí)現(xiàn)購(gòu)買(mǎi)多樣化。
據(jù)消息人士告訴路透社，國(guó)有煉油商計(jì)劃5月份從沙特購(gòu)買(mǎi)的石油比正常情況下減少36%，該國(guó)目前正試圖用圭亞那等新產(chǎn)油國(guó)取代沙特的供應(yīng)。
印度私營(yíng)煉油商HPCL-Mittal能源公司本月從圭亞那購(gòu)買(mǎi)了首批貨物，但雙方的談判是在政府間的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行的。
一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士表示，印度愿意根據(jù)雙方協(xié)議，將圭亞那的原油份額作為其全球原油來(lái)源多樣化的一部分。該人士稱(chēng)，雙方仍在就定價(jià)進(jìn)行談判，并補(bǔ)充稱(chēng)，這些原油將由印度國(guó)有煉油廠加工。
巴拉特表示，定價(jià)是圭亞那在任何潛在交易中“最重要”的因素。
在埃克森美孚公司（Exxon Mobil Corp.）領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的一個(gè)財(cái)團(tuán)于2019年底開(kāi)始在Stabroek近海區(qū)塊生產(chǎn)輕質(zhì)原油后，圭亞那已成為世界最新的能源熱點(diǎn)。
但圭亞那既沒(méi)有國(guó)內(nèi)煉油企業(yè)，也沒(méi)有國(guó)有石油公司，因此只能依靠赫斯（Hess Corp）和荷蘭皇家殼牌(Royal Dutch Shell PLC)等私營(yíng)企業(yè)來(lái)推銷(xiāo)其現(xiàn)貨市場(chǎng)份額。政府已經(jīng)重新開(kāi)始尋找一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期的合作伙伴來(lái)推銷(xiāo)他們的市場(chǎng)份額，但是還沒(méi)有選定一家公司。
巴拉特表示，政府計(jì)劃“很快”重新開(kāi)始尋找營(yíng)銷(xiāo)公司。他表示，無(wú)法保證政府的下一批貨物將運(yùn)往印度。政府的下一批貨物原定于6月發(fā)貨，但由于機(jī)械問(wèn)題導(dǎo)致生產(chǎn)水平下降，可能會(huì)被推遲。

India in talks with Guyana for long-term crude supply - minister
India, the world's third-largest crude consumer and importer, has approached Guyana's government about a possible long-term deal to buy the South American country's oil, a Guyanese official said.
India has expressed interest in buying one of the 1 million-barrel cargoes Guyana's government is entitled to in order to test the crude in its refineries, according to Guyana's Natural Resources Minister Vickram Bharrat. If the crude is compatible, the parties could begin talks on a long-term arrangement.
India's oil demand has risen by 25% in the last seven years, more than any other country, and officials there have pledged to use the country's position as a leading purchaser as a "weapon" in an effort to keep prices low.
New Delhi is already exercising its growing clout in the crude market. It viscerally opposed a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, to extend production cuts that have lifted the price of oil, and is seeking to diversify its purchases away from top producer Saudi Arabia.
State refiners plan to buy 36% less oil from Saudi Arabia in May than normal, sources told Reuters, and the country is now attempting to swap out Saudi supply with new origins like Guyana.
Private Indian refiner HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd purchased India's first-ever cargo from Guyana this month, but the talks have taken place on a government-to-government basis.
"India is interested in taking Guyana's share of its crude, based on mutual agreements, as part of its crude source diversification across the world," said one source with knowledge of the talks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The two parties are still negotiating pricing, said the person, adding that the crude would be processed by state-owned refineries in India.
Bharrat said pricing was the "most important" factor for Guyana in any potential deal.
"First and foremost is us getting the best price for our crude," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.
Guyana has become the world's newest energy hotspot after a consortium led by Exxon Mobil Corp began to produce light crude at the offshore Stabroek block in late 2019.
But with no domestic refining nor state oil company, Guyana has relied on private companies like Hess Corp and Royal Dutch Shell PLC to market its share on a spot basis. The government has relaunched a search for a long-term partner to market its share, but has not yet selected a firm.
Bharrat said the government planned to re-launch the search for a marketing firm "soon." He said there was no guarantee the government's next cargo - which he said is due in June but may be delayed due to mechanical issues that have reduced production levels - would go to India.
