石油设备网讯 据WENews.com网站1月16日新德里报道，从消息人士获得的船只跟踪数据以及汤森路透石油研究和预测机构汇编的统计数据显示，由于印度增加购买来满足国内不断扩大的炼油能力，印度去年的石油日进口量同比增加了大约1.8%，达到了再创历史新高的437万桶。
为了满足国内日益增长的燃料需求，世界第三大石油消费国印度在2017年下半年提高了炼油能力。世界最大炼油联合体拥有者印度信诚工业公司帮助把印度的日炼油能力扩大到了大约500万桶。信诚工业公司麾下的出口导向性炼油厂的炼油产能在2017年提高了30%。
统计数据显示，去年12月份，印度平均日进口438万桶石油，环比和同比分别下降了大约6.4%和大约2%。

India's Oil imports Surged in 2017
India's oil imports rose by about 1.8 percent in 2017 to a record 4.37 million barrels per day (bpd) as the country boosted purchases to feed its expanded refining capacity, ship-tracking data obtained from sources and data compiled by Thomson Reuters Oil Research & Forecasts showed.
To meet its growing fuel demand India, the world's third-biggest oil consumer, raised its refining capacity in the second half of 2017. India's capacity expansion to about 5 million bpd was aided by Reliance Industries, owner of the world's largest refining complex, declaring 30 percent higher capacity of its export-focused plant.
In December the country's oil imports totalled 4.38 million bpd, a decline of about 6.4 percent from the previous month and about 2 percent from a year ago, the data showed.
