中国石化新闻网讯 据国外媒体12月1日新德里报道,为了装满其位于卡纳塔克邦南部的储存设施,印度政府拥有的负责为紧急需求储存原油的公司印度战略石油储备有限公司(ISPRL)日前邀请了国际公司提交最初报价。
ISPRL周三在一份通知中说,战略储备预计将在2017年第一季度前准备就绪。
ISPRL在位于印度南部的3个城市里共拥有533万吨或3687万桶的储存设施,这3个城市分别是威扎吉(133万吨)、芒格洛尔(150万吨)和帕杜尔(250万吨)。
印度政府当前感兴趣的储存城市是帕杜尔。
2005年,印度石油部成立ISPRL在印度建造战略储备来应对原油价格波动和突然供应的问题。一旦帕杜尔这个储存设施建成,国内80%以上原油需求依赖进口的印度届时将有近10天的可以在紧急情况下随时使用的战略石油储备。
相比之下,全球其他石油消费大国拥有大约50天的战略石油储备。

India's Strategic Crude Reserve Invites Bids to Fill Facility
WENews.com/December 1, 2016/New Delhi
Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd (ISPRL), the government-owned company mandated to store crude oil for emergency needs, has invited initial bids to fill its storage facility in the southern state of Karnataka.
The strategic reserve is expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2017, it said in a notice on Wednesday.
ISPRL has a total of 5.33 million tonnes or 36.87 million barrels of storage facilities across three cities in southern India - Vizag (1.33 mt), Mangalore (1.5 mt) and Padur (2.5 mt).
The current expression of interest is for Padur.
In 2005, the Oil Ministry set up ISPRL to build strategic storage in India to hedge against volatility of crude oil prices and sudden supply issues.
Once the facility is operational, India, which imports more than 80 percent of its crude requirement, will have almost 10 days of strategic reserves which can be used during emergencies. However, other big consumers of oil globally have around 50 days of reserves.
