据石油新闻伦敦报道，国际能源署（IEA）1月19日表示，在2020年减少720万桶/天之后，今年全球炼油厂的原油加工量预计将反弹450万桶/天。
IEA预计，今年全球炼油厂原油加工量将达到7890万桶/天，而去年原油加工量由于受到COVID-19影响为7690万桶/天。
IEA表示，去年11月全球炼油厂原油日加工量增加260万桶，至7610万桶，这是7年来最大月度增幅，这归因于炼油厂从维护高峰期中恢复生产。
IEA说，今年全球炼油厂原油加工量预计增幅将低于550万桶/天的需求增幅。然而，由于“液化石油气/乙烷在需求增长中所占比例相对较高”，当需求下降880万桶/天时，从去年开始的成品油库存过剩情况今年可能会继续。

Global refinery throughput expected to rebound in 2021: IEA
Global refinery throughput is expected to rebound by 4.5 million b/d in 2021 after a 7.2 million b/d drop in 2020, the International Energy Agency said Jan. 19.
IEA projects 78.9 million b/d throughput this year, versus 76.9 million b/d in 2020, when refinery rates were impacted by COVID-19.
Refinery runs rose 2.6 million b/d in November 2020 to 76.1 million b/d, "the largest monthly gain in seven years," according to the IEA, which attributed the increase to refineries returning "from peak maintenance."
The expected increase of run rates in 2021 will be lower than the 5.5 million b/d demand growth. However, the refined products stock overhang from last year, when demand dropped by 8.8 million b/d, may be carried this year due to the "relatively high proportion of LPG/ethane" in the demand growth.
