巴国油上调4月份石油日产量

据4月28日Sputnik报道，巴西国家石油天然气公司(Petrobras)周二表示，由于需求意外高企，该公司在提高炼油厂利用率的同时，将4月份平均日产量由原计划的207万桶上调至226万桶石油。

巴西国家石油公司初步计划将4月份石油产量降至207万桶/天，将炼油厂利用率从79%降至60%，同时加强原油、柴油和燃料油的出口能力，以应对全球石油需求的急剧下降。这些措施促成了现金流的产生和库存的下降，使储存能力保持有合理的回旋余地，从而避免了采取租船储存燃料等代价高昂的办法。

该公司表示，当前形势没有对其生产和销售业绩产生重大影响。该公司2020年第一季度石油和天然气液态燃料的平均产量同比增长17.7%，达到每日232万桶。由于市场对其产品的需求变化好于预期，该公司选择在4月份将石油日产量逐步恢复到平均226万桶的水平，同时提高炼油厂的利用率。

Brazil's Petrobras Says Revised Planned Cut of Oil Production in April Upwards

The Brazilian state oil and gas company Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras) said on Tuesday it would produce an average of 2.26 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) in April as opposed to 2.07 million barrels, as earlier planned, due to unexpectedly high demand.

"With the better than expected evolution of demand for our products, we opted for the gradual return to an average oil production level of 2.26 MMbpd in April alongside an increase in the utilization factor of our refineries," the company said in the Q1 production and sales report.

The initial plan was to reduce oil production in April to 2.07 million bpd and the utilization factor of refineries from 79 percent to 60 percent while reinforcing the logistical export capacity of crude oil, diesel and fuel oil in response to the sharp drop in global demand for oil, Petrobras said.

According to the company, these measures "have contributed to the generation of cash and the decline in inventories, allowing the maintenance of reasonable leeway in storage capacity, consequently avoiding the adoption of costly measures such as the chartering of ships to store liquids."

The average production of oil and natural gas liquids in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 17.7 percent year-on-year to a total of 2.32 million bpd, Petrobras said.

The company noted that the coronavirus pandemic had not had a significant impact on its production and sales performance.
