日本第二季度石油产品需求或将下降20%

据世界石油2020年4月17日东京报道，日本第2大炼油企业日本出光兴产株式会社董事长Takashi Tsukioka在新闻发布会上表示，由于抑制疫情蔓延的各种措施减少了航空煤油和汽油的使用量，该公司预计日本今年4 - 6月第二季度成品油需求量将比去年同期下降大约20%。

Tsukioka在新闻发布会上说：“日本4 - 6月的石油产品总需求量预计将下降大约20%，降幅大于我们此前估计的大约14%，其中航空煤油的需求量降幅将超过50%。”

Tsukioka说，全球4月至6月第二季度燃料需求量料将下滑差不多15%-20%，此前使14.37多万人死亡的疫情已导致多数航空旅行暂停，并促使全球各地进行全国禁飞以保证人们不出门。

Tsukioka说，据出光兴产株式会社估计，第二季度日本汽油需求量将下降大约20%，柴油需求量将下降10%。

Idemitsu sees Japan's oil products demand down 20% April-June

Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan expects Japan’s demand for oil products to fall by about 20% in the April-June quarter from a year earlier as measures to curb the coronavirus pandemic reduce jet fuel and gasoline use, its chairman said.

“Overall demand for oil products in Japan is now seen dropping about 20% in April-June, bigger than our earlier estimate of about a 14% decline, with jet fuel demand plunging more than 50%,” Takashi Tsukioka, chairman of Idemitsu, told a news conference.

Global fuel demand is set to drop by as much as 15% to 20% in the April-June quarter after the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 143,700 people, halted most air travel and prompted national lockdowns across the globe to keep people at home.

Idemitsu estimates gasoline demand will fall by about 20% in Japan and diesel demand will dip 10% for the quarter, Tsukioka said.
