據(jù)安迅思能源4月22日消息稱，據(jù)路透社報道，實時政府?dāng)?shù)據(jù)顯示，3月份印度煉油商的原油加工量同比增長6.4%，達(dá)到528萬桶/天(2234萬噸)，與世界第三大石油進口國和消費國的消費量增長相一致。

印度3月份的燃料需求達(dá)到了3年來的最高水平，原因是市場預(yù)計價格會大幅上漲，積累了供應(yīng)，而疫情相關(guān)控制措施的放松刺激了需求。

Refinitiv分析師Ehsan Ul Haq表示，隨著需求增加，煉油商不得不提高產(chǎn)量以滿足需求。

然而，數(shù)據(jù)顯示，原油產(chǎn)量下降超過3%，至約59.8萬桶/天(253萬噸)。

該新聞稿稱，這主要是由于位于孟買高地的Sagar Samrat移動式海上生產(chǎn)裝置的調(diào)動延遲，導(dǎo)致本月石油和天然氣公司的產(chǎn)量下降了12.6%，較2021年3月下降了1.84%。

油船跟蹤數(shù)據(jù)顯示，3月原油進口量較上年同期微升至440萬桶/天。

Indian refiners' March crude oil processing up by 6.4% YOY

Crude oil processing by Indian refiners rose 6.4% year-on-year in March to 5.28 MMbpd (22.34 MMt), provisional government data showed, corresponding with a rise in consumption in the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, reported Reuters.

India's fuel demand rose to a three-year high in March as the market accumulated supplies foreseeing price spikes while easing COVID-related curbs boosted demand.

With demand increasing, refiners are prompted to boost runs to meet demand, said Ehsan Ul Haq, an analyst from Refinitiv.

However, crude production fell over 3% to about 598,000 bpd (2.53 MMt), the data showed.

This was largely due to output from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation being 12.6% lower for the month and 1.84% lower versus March 2021 due to a delay in mobilization of the Mobile Offshore Production Unit Sagar Samrat, located in the Mumbai High Field, the release stated.

Annual oil imports in March marginally rose to 4.4 MMbpd from last year, tanker tracking data from industry sources showed.
