據OilNOW網站12月27日消息 印度11月原油進口扭轉了下降趨勢，達到10個月來的最高水平，因為煉油商預計會出現更高的庫存，但分析師繼續密切關注冠狀病毒奧密克戎的發展情況，以了解其是否會影響未來幾個月的進口量。

隨著印度所有煉油廠的平均運行率上升到100%，煉油商正在加速原油采購，因為預計產品需求將持續增長，汽油等運輸燃料的需求已恢復到疫情前的水平。

印度石油規劃和分析部門的最新臨時數據顯示，11月印度共進口1837萬噸原油，即平均450萬桶/天，環比增長7.5%。

這扭轉了10月份進口的三個月低點。印度11月份的原油進口也同比增長0.5%。

中國和印度將在2022年恢復其作為增長引擎的第一線地位，但東南亞也將做出巨大貢獻，尤其是在疫苗接種率較高的國家。

1-11月，印度原油進口同比增長5.8%，達到1.918億噸，即420萬桶/天。

隨著經濟活動增強和出口需求增加，印度國內需求強勁，預計2022年印度煉油廠運行量將增加37萬桶/天，達到520萬桶/天。

India crude imports hit highest level in 10 months

India’s crude imports in November reversed a declining trend to hit its highest level in 10 months as refiners build inventories in anticipation of higher runs, but analysts continued to keep a close eye on developments around the omicron variant of the coronavirus to see if it impacts inflows in the coming months.

As average run rates have risen to 100% across all Indian refineries, they are accelerating crude purchases on expectations of a sustained increase in demand for products, with demand for transport fuels such as gasoline having recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

India imported 18.37 million mt, or an average 4.5 million b/d of crude oil in November, up 7.5% month on month, latest provisional data from the country’s Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell showed.

This reversed the three-month low for imports seen in October. India’s crude imports in November were also up 0.5% on the year.

“China and India will resume their front-line status in being the engines of growth in 2022, but Southeast Asia will also contribute substantially, especially in countries with high vaccination rates”.

Over January-November, India’s crude imports rose 5.8% year on year to 191.8 million mt, or 4.2 million b/d.

India’s refinery runs are expected to rise by 370,000 b/d to 5.2 million b/d in 2022 amid strong domestic demand as economic activity gains steam and export demand rises.
