据海外媒体9月19日里约热内卢报道,巴西石油和燃料监管机构巴西国家石油管理局(ANP)18日在里约热内卢表示,由于巴西经济遭遇了20世纪30年代大萧条以来的最严重经济衰退,巴西8月份柴油进口量比去年同期大幅下降了95%。
巴西国家石油公司(巴西国油)和其他持有许可证的柴油进口商8月份进口了18.1558万桶柴油来补充巴西国油拥有的14个巴西炼油厂的柴油产量。巴西国内最常用的汽车燃料柴油8月份的进口量比7月份大幅减少了97%。
ANP炼油部门主管阿马拉尔17日对路透社记者说,随着经济的冷却,巴西国内对柴油需求不断下降是自然的。巴西今年前8个月柴油进口量同比减少了25%。阿马拉尔拒绝估计巴西今年剩余时间的燃料需求。
占据巴西大约80%燃料市场的巴西燃料分销商协会Sindicom炼油和供应主管卢西亚诺说,今年巴西柴油需求预计下降3%。如果发生这种情况,这将是2009年以来的首次年度下降。

Brazil August Diesel Imports Plunge
World Petroleum News
September 19, 2015
Brazilian diesel imports fell 95 percent in August compared with a year earlier, Brazil's oil and fuels regulator ANP said, as Brazil's economy struggled through its worst downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
State-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA and other licensed importers brought in 181,558 barrels of diesel in the month to supplement the output of 14 Brazilian oil refineries owned by Petrobras, as the oil company is known. Imports of diesel, Brazil's most-used vehicle fuel, were down 97 percent from July.
"With the cooling of the economy, it's natural that this demand is falling," said Aurélio Amaral the ANP's superintendent of refining told Reuters on Thursday.
Imports fell 25 percent between January and August compared with a year earlier. Amaral declined to estimate fuel demand for the rest of the year.
This year Luciano Libório, head of refining and supply for Sindicom, an association of fuels distributors that account for about 80 percent of Brazil's fuels market, expects diesel demand to fall 3 percent this year.
If that happens, it will be the first annual decline since 2009.
