據(jù)烴加工新聞6月30日消息稱，一位知情人士稱，該國(guó)最大的煉油商印度石油公司已首次購(gòu)買圭亞那的 Liza 輕質(zhì)低硫原油，以尋求原油采購(gòu)的多元化。

　　根據(jù)Refinitiv的數(shù)據(jù)，這批100萬(wàn)桶貨物將于7月4日左右由懸掛希臘國(guó)旗的油輪Militos駛往印度Paradip港，并將于8月8日左右抵達(dá)。

　　該消息人士稱，這將是一次“試運(yùn)”，但沒(méi)有給出定價(jià)細(xì)節(jié)。該消息人士稱，印度正與圭亞那政府就國(guó)有煉油企業(yè)的長(zhǎng)期石油供應(yīng)合同進(jìn)行談判。

　　IOC是印度第一家購(gòu)買Liza石油的國(guó)有煉油商。國(guó)有的印度斯坦石油公司與鋼鐵大亨 LN Mittal的合資企業(yè) HPCL-Mittal能源公司于 3 月購(gòu)買了 100 萬(wàn)桶 Liza 級(jí)原油。

　　IOC拒絕立即發(fā)表評(píng)論。

　　印度是世界第三大石油進(jìn)口國(guó)和消費(fèi)國(guó)，其石油需求的80%以上來(lái)自海外，嚴(yán)重依賴中東地區(qū)。

　　今年早些時(shí)候，在石油輸出國(guó)組織及其盟友（被稱為歐佩克+）未能放松供應(yīng)限制，導(dǎo)致全球油價(jià)飆升后，印度要求國(guó)有煉油商加快原油來(lái)源的多樣化。

　　國(guó)有煉油企業(yè)——IOC、HPCL、巴拉特石油公司和芒格洛爾煉油和石化有限公司——共同控制了印度500萬(wàn)桶/天煉油能力的五分之三。

　　India's top refiner buys its first Guyanese oil

　　Indian Oil Corp, the country's top refiner, has made its first purchase of Guyana's Liza light sweet crude as it seeks to diversify its crude purchases, a source familiar with matter said.

　　The 1 million-barrel cargo will set sail around July 4 on Greece-flagged tanker Militos for India's Paradip port, where it is set to arrive around August 8, according to Refinitiv data.

　　This would be a 'trial cargo', the source said, without giving details of pricing. The source said that India is in talks with Guyana's government for a term oil supply contract for state refiners.

　　IOC is the first Indian state refiner to buy Liza oil. Private refiner HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd, a joint venture between state-run Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL.NS) and steel tycoon L.N. Mittal, bought a million barrels of Liza grade in March.

　　IOC declined to immediately comment.

　　India, the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, ships in more than 80% of its oil needs from overseas and relies heavily on the Middle East.

　　Earlier this year India asked state refiners to expedite the diversification of crude sources after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, also known as OPEC+ failed to ease supply curbs, leading to a spike in global oil prices.

　　The state refiners - IOC, HPCL, Bharat Petroleum and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd - together control about three-fifths of India's 5 million barrel per day refining capacity.
