俄罗斯炼油厂汽油产量降至15年来低点

据今日油价网站6月18日消息 俄罗斯能源部和路透社的计算数据显示，今年5月，俄罗斯炼油厂的汽油产量降至15年来的最低水平，原因是该国作为欧佩克+协议的一部分削减了原油产量，同时封锁措施削减了燃料需求。

俄罗斯上月一次石油加工量较4月份按日下降7.2%，而部分炼油厂的季节性维修也影响原油加工量和汽油产量。

今年5月，俄罗斯禁止进口成品油，包括汽油、柴油和航空燃料，以保护其炼油业免受廉价进口的影响。

俄罗斯政府在一项法令中表示，这项禁令将持续到10月1日，包括禁止进口汽油、柴油、航空燃料和汽油，以确保俄罗斯联邦的能源安全，稳定国内燃料市场。

自4月初油价暴跌并导致俄罗斯以外地区的成品油价格大幅下降后，俄罗斯一直在考虑这一措施。然而，据俄罗斯RBC今年4月报道，在俄罗斯，由于其法规的性质，燃料价格变化不大。

据俄罗斯独立燃料零售商协会本周对俄罗斯商业日报表示，5月份俄罗斯对车用汽油和柴油的需求从4月份的极低水平开始回升，而4月份正是俄罗斯全国禁售的最高峰。

该协会的一位代表向俄罗斯商业日报表示，尽管燃料需求正在复苏，但复苏非常缓慢，该协会不包括俄罗斯垂直整合的石油公司。

根据独立燃料零售商协会的数据，市场需求在未来6个月不太会恢复到疫情前的水平。

与此同时，俄罗斯正表现出对正在进行的创纪录的集体减产的前所未有的承诺，几乎遵守了6月份迄今为止的减产份额。

Gasoline Production At Russian Refineries Drops To 15-Year Low

Gasoline production at Russia’s oil refineries slumped to the lowest level in 15 years in May as the country curtailed crude oil production as part of the OPEC+ deal and as lockdowns slashed demand for fuels, according to data from the Russian energy ministry and Reuters calculations.

Russia’s volumes of primary oil processing dropped last month by 7.2 percent on a daily basis from April, while seasonal maintenance at some oil refineries also impacted crude processing and gasoline output volumes.

In May, Russia banned imports of refined oil products, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, to protect its refining industry from cheap imports.

The ban, which will remain in effect until October 1, includes a ban on imports of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and gasoil, to ensure the energy security of the Russian federation and stabilize the domestic fuel market, the government said in a decree.

Russia has been considering this measure since early April after oil prices crashed and led to much cheaper refined oil products outside Russia. In Russia, however, the price of fuels didn’t change much because of the nature of its regulations, Russian outlet RBC reported in April.

According to Russia’s independent fuel retailers’ association, demand for motor gasoline and diesel started to tick up in May from very low levels in April, which was the height of the lockdowns across Russia, the association told Russian business daily Vedomosti this week.

Although fuel demand is recovering, it is recovering very slowly, a representative of the association which does not include the vertically integrated oil firms in Russia, told Vedomosti.

The market shouldn’t expect a return of demand to pre-coronavirus levels in the next six months, according to the independent fuel retailers’ association.

Meanwhile, Russia is showing an unprecedented commitment to the ongoing record collective production cuts by almost complying with its share of the reductions so far in June.
