未来五年韩国原油进口量将稳步增长

　　据道琼斯12月19日消息，BMI研究公司在一份报告中称，受经济增长、运输编队扩大以及国内和地区石化产品消费增长的影响，到2020年的未来五年韩国原油进口量将稳步增加。BMI研究称：“原油需求还将受到该国主要的运输行业汽车燃料需求强劲增长的驱动。”BMI研究补充道，尽管今年截至目前，韩国汽车销售量下降，但是今年1-10月份汽油和柴油消费量同比分别增加2.8%和5.9%，主要是因为低燃料价格刺激了汽车的行驶里程数。

　　South Korea Crude Oil Imports to Increase Steadily Over Next Five Years

　　[Dow Jones] South Koreas crude-oil imports will increase steadily over the next five years to 2020 due to economic growth, an expanding transportation fleet and growing domestic and regional consumption of petrochemicals products, says BMI Research in a note; Crude demand will also be driven by robust demand for automotive fuels from the countrys large transportation sector. It adds that despite lower new vehicle sales in the year-to-date period, gasoline and diesel consumption through the first 10 months of 2016 are up 2.8% and 5.9% year over year as low fuel prices help encourage car owners to drive more.
