石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯新加坡3月19日消息 印度斯坦石油公司（HPCL）是中馏分油的常规供应商，该公司通过两次定期招标以期寻求购买高达109.5万吨含硫量为45ppm的高速柴油。
第一次招标是购买七批货物，每批货物包括6.5万吨，将于5月至11月期间交付蒙德拉。在同一份招标书中，炼油厂提出在合同期内以同样的条款和条件购买另外六批货物。
在另一份招标中，HPCL正寻求购买8-13艘6.5万-8万吨相同等级的货物，计划于4月至11月交付给维萨卡帕特南，并可选择在长期合同期内再增加购买29万吨。两份投标书将于3月21日截止，有效期至3月22日。
该炼油商早些时候曾寻求4艘含硫量为45 ppm的高速柴油船，总吨数为23万吨，2月运往孟买、维萨卡帕特南和蒙德拉等多个目的地。
一位消息人士表示：“他们将从7月15日开始进行为期30天的定期维修……总体而言，印度今年正在经历相当大的转变和升级。因此，所有炼油商都在将产量提升至10ppm。”他补充称，未来几个月的维护任务比往常更重，可能会影响国内炼油厂的产能外流。
普氏此前表示，该国有炼油商已暂停了孟买炼油厂一个原油蒸馏装置的维修计划，该计划最初定于今年1月至3月的季度进行。

Asian gasoil market bullish amid emerging Indian demand
Sentiment in the Asian gasoil market was buoyant after India's Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd. -- a regular supplier of the middle distillate -- sought to buy, in a rare move, up to 1.095 million mt of 45 ppm sulfur high speed diesel through two term tenders.
The first tender was for seven lots, with each cargo comprising of 65,000 mt, for delivery to Mundra over May-November. In the same tender, the refinery has put in an option to purchase an additional six cargoes on the same terms and conditions during the contract period.
In a separate tender, HPCL is looking to purchase 8-13 65,000-80,000-mt cargoes of the same grade, slated for delivery to Visakhapatnam over April-November, with an option to increase the purchase by another 290,000 mt over the term contract.Both tenders will close on March 21, with validity until March 22.
The refiner earlier sought four 45 ppm sulfur high speed diesel cargoes, totaling 230,000 mt, for February delivery into several destinations, including Mumbai, Visakhapatnam and Mundra.
"They have a scheduled maintenance starting July 15, for 30 days ... India is going through quite a bit of turnarounds and upgrades this year, in general. So, all the refiners are upgrading to 10 ppm," a source said, adding that heavier-than-usual maintenance scheduled for the coming months could affect domestic refinery outflows.
S&P Global Platts previously reported that the state-owned refiner had put on hold a planned maintenance shutdown of a crude distillation unit at its Mumbai refinery, initially scheduled during the January-March quarter.
