巴西国油提高炼油厂产量导致原油出口暴跌

中国石化新闻网讯 据《石油世界》7月13日里约热内卢报道，巴西国家石油公司（巴西国油/Petrobras）当天在里约热内卢对路透社记者说，为了向国内市场供应更多燃料油，巴西国油在6月份大幅提高了炼油厂的产量，从而导致了巴西当月原油出口大幅下降。

巴西国油是在巴西国内消耗最多的燃料柴油进口量不断下降之际转向供应国内市场。在此之前，巴西政府在今年5月宣布，巴西政府将对柴油价格进行补贴以结束已使该国物流瘫痪11天的卡车司机的罢工。

在发给路透社的一份电子邮件声明中，巴西国油没有给出其确切的利用水平，但巴西国油麾下的巴西炼油厂具有日加工217.6万桶原油的能力。

根据巴西政府的统计数据，由于巴西国油把更多资金投向炼油厂，6月份巴西原油出口同比大幅下降了53.8%至286万吨。

巴西国油的这一举措给燃料进口商带来了更大的压力。根据巴西行业监管机构ANP的统计数据，由于国内燃料需求下降，今年前5个月，巴西国内经销商的柴油销量下降了0.6%，汽油销量下降了11.1%。

Petrobras ups refinery output, leading to crude export slumpRIO DE JANEIRO

Brazilian state-owned oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA hiked its refinery output in June to supply more fuel to the domestic market, leading to a drop in crude oil exports for the month, the company told Reuters.

Petrobras' shift to supply the domestic market comes amid falling imports of diesel, the most consumed fuel in the country, following the government's announcement in May that it would subsidize diesel prices in a deal to end a truckers' strike that crippled the country's logistics for 11 days.

In an emailed statement to Reuters, the company did not give its exact utilization levels, but its Brazil refineries have the capacity to process 2.176 million barrels per day.

As Petrobras directed more to refineries, Brazil's crude oil exports fell 53.8 percent year on year to 2.86 million tonnes in June, according to government data.

Petrobras' move puts more pressure on fuel importers, which already have to grapple with lower domestic demand as diesel sales by distributors fell 0.6 percent and gasoline sales declined 11.1 percent in the first five months of the year, according to industry regulator ANP.
