Iraq4月份每天向India航運大約960700桶原油，而Saudi Arabia每天向亞洲國家出口787700桶原油，在經濟增長OPEC國家搶占市場份額的形勢下，Iraq已經超過Saudi Arabia躍居首位。
Iraq向India的石油出口量在4月上升了41%，與去年同期相比增長79%，而Saudi Arabia向India的石油出口量與去年同期相比下降了14%。
4月份，Iraq占India原油進口量的22%，而去年僅占15%。同時，Saudi Arabia的市場份額從去年的25%降到今年的18%。
India的原油進口量激增，自3月以來，Indian的原油進口量增加了6%，在今年前四個月上漲了9.9%。而2015年的前四個月由于煉油廠停工進口量下降了0.6%。
由于India煉油廠缺乏維修，將停工一段時間，因此今年India對原油的需求上升。
分析師對最新市場份額的變化并不奇怪，據路透社報道，Indian石油公司財務主管 A. K. Sharma表示：“相比Saudi，Iraqi石油價格更有優勢，因此盈利更多”。
Iran也越來越重視在Indian的市場份額，將對Iraq和Saudi Arabia產生威脅，Iran在今年4月的總進口量份額中占9%，而去年僅為7.2%。
在2016年的前四個月，Iranian約占Indian原油進口的7.4%，成為Indian的第五大石油供應國，而去年僅占4%左右，位列第八。

Iraq has now overtaken Saudi Arabia in crude oil exports to India, shipping some 960,700 barrels per day (bpd) to India in April, against Saudi Arabia’s 787,700 bpd in exports to the Asian nation, turning the tables on the Saudis and placing Iraq at the top of the chain of OPEC members grappling for market share in this growing economy.
Iraq’s oil exports to India rose by 41 percent in April and by 79 percent compared to a year ago. At the same time, Saudi Arabia’s exports to India were down 14 percent in April over the same time last year.
Overall, Iraq accounted for 22 percent of India’s crude oil imports in April, while last year it accounted for 15 percent. Saudi Arabia’s India crude oil market share dropped to 18 percent, down from 25 percent last year.
India has seen a new surge in crude oil imports overall. Since March, Indian crude imports are up 6% on the month, and up 9.9 percent in the first four months of this year. For the first four months of 2015, imports fell 0.6 percent from a year ago largely due to outages at refineries.
Demand for crude oil in India has risen this year due to a lack maintenance processes at Indian refineries, which have been postponed and would normally have taken refineries offline for a spell.
Analysts are not surprised by this latest market share change: “Iraqi oil is much more beneficial than Saudi because they are better priced. There is a significance difference in prices,”said A. K. Sharma, head of finance at Indian Oil Corp, as reported by Reuters.
But Iran is also zeroing in on Indian market share, with a fair amount of success and could challenge both Iraq and Saudi Arabia here. The country accounted for about 9 percent of overall purchases in April compared to about 7.2 percent a year ago.
Over the first four months of 2016, Iranian oil accounted for about 7.4 percent of Indian imports from about 4 percent a year ago, becoming fifth-largest oil supplier to India compared with the eighth position a year ago.
