截止3月的財年印度油氣產(chǎn)量分別下降5%和8%

據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)4月21日新德里報道，根據(jù)印度政府周二公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，截至2021年3月的財年，由于私營和公共公司產(chǎn)量減少，印度原油產(chǎn)量下降5%，天然氣產(chǎn)量下降8%。根據(jù)油氣部公布的最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2020-21年原油產(chǎn)量從一年前的3217萬噸降至3050萬噸。

石油和天然氣公司(ONGC)的石油產(chǎn)量比一年前減少了2%，達到2020萬噸，這是由于持續(xù)兩個多月的全國封鎖導致其部分油田關(guān)閉。

印度石油有限公司（OIL）的石油產(chǎn)量減少5.4％，而由韋丹塔（Vedanta）的凱恩（Cairn）等私營公司經(jīng)營的油田的產(chǎn)量則減少12.6％。

天然氣產(chǎn)量為286.7億立方米，較2019-2020年的311.8億立方米，下降8%以上。然而，隨著信實工業(yè)(Reliance industries)-bp在KG盆地油田開始生產(chǎn)，3月份的產(chǎn)量增加了11%。

根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，今年3月天然氣產(chǎn)量更高“由于新油田D-34(信實- bp的KG-D6區(qū)塊)于2020年12月開始生產(chǎn)，產(chǎn)量為130萬標準立方米/天，到今年3月增至960萬標準立方米/天。

因為疫情影響了經(jīng)濟活動，導致燃料需求下降，印度公共和私營部門煉油廠在2020-21年的原油加工量減少了近13%，為2.217億噸。

信實工業(yè)有限公司位于古吉拉特邦賈姆納加爾（Jamnagar）的兩個煉油廠的原油吞吐量減少了11.5%，為6094萬噸，而以俄羅斯石油公司（Rosneft）為首的納亞拉能源公司（Nayara Energy）的原油加工量減少了13%，為1700萬噸。

印度石油公司(IOC)等公共煉油商的原油加工量減少了近12%，為1.275億噸。

根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2020-21年，這些煉油廠的石油產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量減少11.2%，為2.334億噸。

印度近85%的原油需求依賴進口。在2020-21年期間，該國花費619億美元進口原油1.982億噸。這低于上一財政年度進口2.27億噸原油的1014億美元。

進口額下降的部分原因是進口量減少，但主要原因是國際油價下跌。

印度在2020-21年出現(xiàn)了有記錄以來的第三次燃料需求萎縮，由于冠狀病毒的封鎖，需求下降了9%以上。截至3月31日的一年中，該國消費了1.946億噸石油產(chǎn)品，低于2019-2020年的2.141億噸。

India's crude oil output drops 5 per cent, gas production falls 8 per cent

India's crude oil production fell by 5 per cent and natural gas output slumped by 8 per cent in the fiscal year to March 2021 as private and public sector firms produced less, government data showed on Tuesday. Crude oil production fell to 30.5 million tonnes in 2020-21 from 32.17 million tonnes a year back, according to the latest data released by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) produced over 2 per cent less oil at 20.2 million tonnes than a year back as a nationwide lockdown that lasted over two months shut some of its fields.

Oil India Ltd (OIL) produced 5.4 per cent less oil while fields operated by private firms such as Vedanta's Cairn saw 12.6 per cent less output.

Natural gas production at 28.67 billion cubic meters was over 8 per cent less than 31.18 bcm output in 2019-20. However, output in March was 11 per cent higher as Reliance Industries-BP started output from their KG basin fields.

Gas production in March 2021 was higher "due to new field D-34 (KG-D6 block of Reliance-BP), which started production in December 2020 with 1.3 million standard cubic meters per day, ramped up to 9.6 mmscmd in March 2021," notes accompanying the data said.

With the pandemic pummelling economic activity, resulting in fall in fuel demand, India's public and private sector refiners processed nearly 13 per cent less crude oil at 221.7 million tonnes in 2020-21.

Reliance Industries Ltd's twin refineries at Jamnagar in Gujarat had a 11.5 per cent less crude throughput at 60.94 million tonnes while Rosneft-led Nayara Energy processed over 13 per cent less oil at 17 million tonnes.

Public sector refiners such as Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) had nearly 12 per cent less crude processing at 127.5 million tonnes.

The refineries produced 11.2 per cent less petroleum products at 233.4 million tonnes in 2020-21, the data showed.

India is nearly 85 per cent dependent on imports to meet its crude oil needs. It spent USD 61.9 billion in 2020-21 on import of 198.2 million tonnes of crude oil. This was lower than USD 101.4 billion spent on import of 227 million tonnes crude in the previous fiscal.

The lower import bill was partly due to lower volumes but largely because of lower international oil prices.

India posted a third contraction in fuel demand on record in 2020-21 with demand falling over 9 per cent due to coronavirus lockdown. It consumed 194.6 million tonnes of petroleum products in the year to March 31, down from 214.1 million tonnes in 2019-20.
