-- 据多家媒体周三援引行业数据报道,截至4月11日当周,日本炼油厂开工率仍远低于战前水平,仅为设计产能的67.8%。受此影响,中东原油供应持续紧张,而美伊冲突仍在继续。 据报道,最新开工率与前一周的67.7%基本持平,但远低于战前超过80%的水平。 路透社指出,尽管日本政府努力释放战略石油储备并确保替代原油供应,但由于炼油厂主要加工中东中硫原油,日本炼油厂在提高开工率方面仍将面临挑战。 日本超过90%的原油进口来自中东。 出光兴产告诉路透社,该公司正在探索从其他地区采购原油的可能性,但加工非中东原油存在设备限制。 据报道,太阳石油公司表示,它可以混合超过50%的非中东原油,例如来自北美、东南亚和大洋洲的原油。已联系其他日本炼油商Eneos和Cosmo Energy,了解它们原油来源多元化的能力。 与此同时,据路透社报道,由于供应短缺,依赖石脑油作为产品原料的日本企业已调整生产和交付计划,部分企业甚至取消了订单。 东陶株式会社、旭化成株式会社和关西涂料等公司均受到供应链中断的影响。 尽管日本政府保证未来四个月的石脑油供应充足,但这些担忧依然存在。 日本经济产业省尚未回复的置评请求。
