石油设备网讯 据今日油价网站5月17日消息 沙特阿拉伯可能会吸收某国在印度市场上的部分市场份额，因为沙特阿美石油公司将在今年7月至12月向印度石油公司每月额外输送200万桶石油，这是基于两家公司之间现有的定期供应协议。
印度石油公司财务总监A K Sharma周五对路透社表示：“我们已经告知沙特阿美，从7月开始，我们将每月采购200万桶石油（约160万吨），阿美公司也已经同意了。”
这使得印度炼油厂能够有更多的选择替代石油资源。其中许多炼油厂，尤其是私营企业，因为如果他们继续购买石油，那么他们需要对美国可能实施的二级制裁持谨慎态度。
据路透社报道，印度石油公司与沙特阿美石油公司签订了一项定期协议，在2019/2020财年共购买560万吨原油，并可选择再额外购买200万吨。
该公司在上周五的年度业绩中表示，印度石油在2018/2019财年对其原油供应商进行了多元化经营，并首次签订了从美国采购石油的定期合同，提高了其从更广泛、更便宜的石油市场中加工原油等级的能力。

Saudis To Boost Crude Delivery To Indian Oil In H2 2019
Saudi Arabia may soak up some of Iran’s previous market share on the market as Saudi Aramco is set to ship additional 2 million barrels per month to Indian Oil Corp between July and December this year on top of the existing term supply deal between the two companies.
“We have told them we will be taking 2 million barrels every month for six months from July (about 1.6 million tons in total) and they have agreed,” A K Sharma, Indian Oil’s director (finance), told Reuters on Friday.
This put Indian refiners in a position to source the market for alternatives, and many of them, especially private companies, did, because they are wary of possible secondary sanctions if they continue to buy oil.
Indian Oil Corp has a term deal with Saudi Aramco to buy a total of 5.6 million tons in the financial year 2019/2020, plus an option to buy another 2 million tons, according to Reuters.
Indian Oil diversified its crude suppliers in the 2018/2019 fiscal year, and entered for the first time in a term contract to source oil from the United States, boosting its capabilities to process crude grades from a wider and cheaper basket, the company said in its annual results on Friday.
