据8月26日Oil Monster消息：印度7月成品油加工量较6月份减少2.5%，为4月以来首次出现月度下降，原因是冠状病毒病例增多导致新的限制措施阻碍了印度这个全球第三大国内市场燃油销售的复苏。
4月，印度炼油厂的原油加工量暴跌28.8％，创历史新高。
相比之下，7月加工量较上年同期下降18.8％，至418万桶/天(合1768万吨)。
油价下跌的核心原因是燃油消费的下滑。上周的数据显示，实际石油销售下降11%。
疲弱的炼油利润率也促使炼油商控制产量，8月产能利用率将进一步下降，原因是信实集团的贾姆纳加尔工厂停产，以及印度石油公司(IOC)旗下日产30万桶的帕拉迪布工厂本月大部分时间完全关闭。
数据显示，印度炼油厂7月产能约为总产能的83.3%，低于6月的85.4%。印度最大炼油商IOC直接拥有的工厂的产能为90.6%。
该公司上月表示，由于预期需求将持续低迷，其炼油厂将在2020-2021年继续以低产能的水平运营。
信实集团拥有世界上最大的炼油综合企业，其工厂的产能约为74%。
数据显示，7月天然气产量为24.4亿立方米，同比下降10.3%，原油产量下降5%，至263万吨(62万桶/天)。

Indian Refiners’ July Throughput Recovery Slows From June
Indian refiners processed 2.5% less oil in July compared to June, the first monthly fall since April, as renewed restrictions due to rising coronavirus cases stalled a recovery in fuel sales in the world’s third largest domestic market.
India refiners’s crude processing plunged by a record 28.8% in April, when the country was under complete lockdown, and has been recovering since as its normally traffic-clogged cities eased restrictions, putting drivers back Processing by Indian refiners in July by comparison was down 18.8% from a year earlier to 4.18 million barrels per day (bpd) or 17.68 million tonnes, the government data released At the heart of the fall is a slide in fuel consumption, with data last week showing an 11% fall in actual oil sales.
Weak refining margins have also encouraged refiners to rein in output and capacity use is set to decline further in August due to shutdowns at Reliance Industries Ltd’s Jamnagar plant and the complete closure of IOC’S 300,000 bpd Paradip for most of the month.
Indian refiners operated at about 83.3% of their overall capacity in July compared to 85.4% in June, the data showed.
Top refiner Indian Oil Corp (IOC) operated its directly owned plants at 90.6% capacity, the data showed.
The company said last month it would continue to operate its refineries below capacity in 2020/21 due to expectations demand would remain subdued.
Reliance, owner of the world’s biggest refining complex, operated its plants at about 74% capacity.
In an outbreak that trails Natural gas output in July declined 10.3% from a year ago to 2.44 billion cubic metres, and crude oil production fell by 5% to 2.63 million tonnes (620,000 barrels per day), the data showed.
