据路透社1月5日东京报道,日本伊朗原油最大购买者之一的JX新日本石油和能源公司的高级官员5日在东京表示,该公司日前更新了其2016年从德黑兰购买原油的数量。
其中一名高级官员说,作为JX控股公司麾下的一个核心分公司,JX新日本石油和能源公司在从这个月开始的新的长期合同中保持了伊朗原油购买量“不变”。消息人士曾说,JX有一项在2015年每天购买5.3万桶伊朗原油的合同。
JX控股公司主席Yasushi Kimura日前在出席一次行业会议期间对采访他的媒体记者说,虽然他无法确认数量,但JX新日本石油和能源公司与伊朗的年度原油供应合同已被更新。
他在回答记者提出的有关JX是否在对伊朗实施的国际制裁被取消后增加伊朗原油购买量的问题时说,这将取决于经济。

Japan's JX renews Iran term crude contracts
TOKYO, January 05, 2016
JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp, one of Japan's biggest lifters of Iranian crude, has renewed its annual term oil purchase volumes from Tehran for 2016, senior company officials said.
JX Nippon Oil, a core unit of JX Holdings, kept its volume "unchanged" in the new term contract starting this month, one of the officials said. Sources have said JX had a contract to buy 53,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Iranian crude in 2015.
JX Holdings chairman Yasushi Kimura said on the sidelines of an industry gathering the refiner's annual term crude contract with Iran had been renewed, although he could not confirm the volumes.
Asked if JX would increase its Iranian volumes once international sanctions put in place against Tehran over its nuclear programme are lifted sometime this year, Kimura said: "That would depend on the economics."--Reuters
