石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社2月18日新德里/新加坡報道，印度最大的煉油商印度石油公司(Indian Oil Corp)董事長周一表示，該公司已簽署首份購買美國石油的年度協議，在截至2020年3月的一年里，以約15億美元的價格每天購買6萬桶美國石油，以實現原油來源的多樣化。 IOC是第一家根據年度合同購買美國石油的印度煉油商。這項協議還將有助于促進新德里和華盛頓之間的貿易。 該公司此前曾從現貨市場購買美國石油，并在8月簽署了一項在11月至1月期間購買600萬桶美國石油的短期協議。 IOC主席Sanjiv Singh說，年度合同將從4月開始。他以保密為由，拒絕透露賣家的姓名或價格細節。 一位未獲授權接受媒體采訪的貿易消息人士稱，IOC與挪威石油公司Equinox簽署了協議，后者將供應多種美國原油等級。 Equinox已在新德里設立辦事處，以支持石油營銷和交易。該公司拒絕置評。 印度大約75%的石油需求是通過長期協議購買的，主要是與歐佩克國家達成的協議。 咨詢公司FGE駐新加坡的蘇伊士石油(Suez oil)東部主管Sri Paravaikkarasu表示，這項長期協議將有助于降低IOC對歐佩克原油的依賴。 孔麗煒 摘譯自路透社 原文如下： Indian Oil signs first annual deal for U.S. oil Indian Oil Corp, the country’s top refiner, has signed its first annual deal to buy U.S. oil, paying about $1.5 billion for 60,000 barrels a day in the year to March 2020 to diversify its crude sources, its chairman said on Monday. IOC is the first Indian state refiner to buy U.S. oil under an annual contract, in a deal that will also help boost trade between New Delhi and Washington. The company has previously purchased U.S. oil from spot markets and signed a mini-term deal in August to buy 6 million barrels of U.S. oil between November and January. IOC chairman Sanjiv Singh said the annual contract will begin from April. He declined to give the name of the seller or pricing details, citing confidentiality. A trade source, who is not authorised to speak to media, said IOC signed the deal with Norwegian oil company Equinor which will supply a variety of U.S. crude grades. Equinor, which has set up an office in New Delhi to support oil marketing and trading, declined to comment. Indian Oil buys about 75 percent of its oil needs through long-term deals, mostly with OPEC nations. The term deal will help cut IOC’s dependence on OPEC crude, said Sri Paravaikkarasu, head of east of Suez oil for consultants FGE in Singapore.
