據今日油價網站6月18日消息 俄羅斯能源部和路透社的計算數據顯示，今年5月，俄羅斯煉油廠的汽油產量降至15年來的最低水平，原因是該國作為歐佩克+協議的一部分削減了原油產量，同時封鎖措施削減了燃料需求。

俄羅斯上月一次石油加工量較4月份按日下降7.2%，而部分煉油廠的季節性維修也影響原油加工量和汽油產量。

今年5月，俄羅斯禁止進口成品油，包括汽油、柴油和航空燃料，以保護其煉油業免受廉價進口的影響。

俄羅斯政府在一項法令中表示，這項禁令將持續到10月1日，包括禁止進口汽油、柴油、航空燃料和汽油，以確保俄羅斯聯邦的能源安全，穩定國內燃料市場。

自4月初油價暴跌并導致俄羅斯以外地區的成品油價格大幅下降后，俄羅斯一直在考慮這一措施。然而，據俄羅斯RBC今年4月報道，在俄羅斯，由于其法規的性質，燃料價格變化不大。

據俄羅斯獨立燃料零售商協會本周對俄羅斯商業日報表示，5月份俄羅斯對車用汽油和柴油的需求從4月份的極低水平開始回升，而4月份正是俄羅斯全國禁售的最高峰。

該協會的一位代表向俄羅斯商業日報表示，盡管燃料需求正在復蘇，但復蘇非常緩慢，該協會不包括俄羅斯垂直整合的石油公司。

根據獨立燃料零售商協會的數據，市場需求在未來6個月不太會恢復到疫情前的水平。

與此同時，俄羅斯正表現出對正在進行的創紀錄的集體減產的前所未有的承諾，幾乎遵守了6月份迄今為止的減產份額。

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.
