配件短缺使委国油炼油厂3月开工率降至43%

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社2月28日休斯敦报道，根据路透社看到的来自委内瑞拉国家石油公司（委国油/PDVSA）的一份内部文件，由于配件短缺，委国油麾下的炼油厂3月份的开工率将降至它们总炼油能力的43%。

委国油在委内瑞拉和加勒比地区的炼油厂受到了这个欧佩克成员国石油产量下降的打击，导致委国油炼油设施生产用于国内市场和出口燃料所需的各种等级原油短缺。

由出口和产量下降造成的严重现金短缺导致了购买所需维修所需要的配件和设备的推迟并限制了公司买得起的进口产品、稀释剂和原料的数量。

委国油的炼油网络计划下个月每天加工70.1万桶委内瑞拉原油和进口原油，略高于去年3月份日均66万桶。但这个数字仍低于其已安装的162万桶/天的总炼油能力，其中包括位于库拉索岛的伊斯拉炼油厂。

Venezuelan PDVSA's refineries to run at 43 pct capacity in March

Venezuelan PDVSA's refineries will operate at 43 percent of their total capacity in March due to a lack of spare parts, light crude and feedstock, according to an internal document from the state-run firm seen by Reuters.

The company's refineries in Venezuela and the Caribbean have been hit by the OPEC-member's oil output decline, leaving PDVSA short of the crude grades its facilities need to produce fuels for the domestic market and for export.

A severe lack of cash stemming from export and production declines has led to delays in buying spare parts and equipment for needed maintenance, while limiting the volume of imported products, diluents and feedstock the firm can afford.

PDVSA's refining network plans to process 701,000 barrels per day of Venezuelan and imported crude next month, a slight increase versus an average of 660 Mbpd in March last year. That is still low compared to its total installed capacity of 1.62 MMbpd, including the Isla refinery in Curacao.
