行驶10英里平均需要一个小时,如果在高峰时段碰巧在路上,则需要更长的时间。看到地球上一些最快的汽车意在为加速带来快感时,通常会很痛苦 the 印度n driver’的脚踏板,以每小时15英里的速度行驶’的街道。他们说曼谷有亚洲’最严重的交通堵塞–油鬼认为‘they’没去过德里。
Away from the jams, chats with officials threw up some interesting stuff. 印度 currently permits 100% investment by foreign players only in upstream projects. However, the government is putting through legislation which would raise the investment ceiling for other components of the 油 &天然气业务,包括将天然气管道基础设施的投资上限提高到100%。
What 印度 does, matters both to it as well as the wider 油 &天然气社区。该国大约有14家NOC,其中有4家在《财富》 500强中。 第20届世界石油大会在过去的12个月中,印度国家石油公司以极具战略意义的条件进行了投资,但在海外的进军也使叙利亚和苏丹看到了这些国家,这在某些方面在政治上不受欢迎,但也许‘fair game’ for 印度 in its quest for security of supply. It also imports 原油 from 伊朗. Together with China, 印度n 原油 consumption heavily influences global consumption patterns.
US 环评 figures suggest 印度n 原油 consumption came in 在 300,800 barrels per day (bpd) in 2009 while local feedback dating back to 2010 suggests this rose to 311,000 bpd by 2010. Being a massive net importer –无论是与伊朗还是苏丹打交道,人们的情绪都不在话下。印度的国家石油公司在20个国际管辖区中。
在与众多印度官员进行了数天的讨论之后,实际上并没有多少人热衷于加入 European 油 embargo on 伊朗. However, some 印度n scribes known to the Oilholic have suggested that in the event of rising pressure, once assurances over sources of alternative supply had been met, the government would turn away from 伊朗. In the event of financial sanctions, it is in any case becoming increasingly difficult for 印度n NOCs to route payments for 原油 油 to 伊朗.
目前尚无关于苏丹局势或对叙利亚采取任何行动的评论。如果是后者,这里的许多人暗中希望俄罗斯在联合国拥有否决权,以防止对阿萨德政府采取任何进一步行动,但这种观点并不普遍。说到苏丹,分离的南苏丹在与苏丹发生争执之后,于周日关闭了石油生产。这是印度的主要关切’ONGC Videsh Ltd(OVL)–在苏丹所有印度公司中曝光率最高。石油产量占新独立的南苏丹经济的98%,OVL的业务在南苏丹和南苏丹之间分配。
在紧张局势加剧的情况下,OVL,其印度同行和中国专业人士真正头痛的是,尽管南苏丹拥有大部分原油储备,北苏丹拥有炼油厂和港口设施,从那里向印度和中国等国家出口。它’毫不奇怪,最新的一行超过了出口费用。如果争端恶化,印度分析家,石油公司和联合国秘书长潘基文几乎一致认为,这可能会成为对该地区稳定的主要威胁。 《石油狂人》指出,尽管这三个人表达恐惧的理由截然不同–除非现在的意识在接下来的四个星期内盛行,否则这种危险是显而易见的,随时可能爆发。
南苏丹's 油 minister Stephen Dhieu Dau told Reuters on Sunday that all production in his landlocked country had been halted and that no 油 was now flowing through 苏丹. "Oil production will restart when we have a comprehensive agreement and all the deals are signed," he added. Earlier on 一月 20th, 苏丹 seized tankers carrying 南苏丹ese 油, supposedly in lieu of unpaid transit fees. On Saturday, 苏丹 said it would release the ships as a “goodwill gesture”但是南苏丹说,这还远远不够。
联合国秘书长潘基文指责苏丹和南苏丹领导人缺乏“政治意愿”,并特别敦促苏丹总统奥马尔·巴希尔(Omar Al-Bashir)“与联合国充分合作”。无疑他’ll respond to it just as he did to the issuance of his arrest warrant by the International Court of Justice in 2009! The world is watching nervously, as is 印度 for its own 原油 reasons.
在价格方面,布伦特原油和WTI原油周一分别收于每桶110.98美元和98.95美元,由于人们再次担心希腊和欧盟领导人将出现混乱的趋势,因此明显出现了看跌趋势。’无法达成共识。毫不奇怪,欧元也随美元下跌,跌至每欧元1.31美元。
Jack Pollard, analyst 在 苏克敦金融, says the fear that CDS could be triggered in a hard Greek default could look ominous for 原油 prices, especially in terms of speculative positions. “持续的伊朗紧张局势应有助于维持近期的窄幅波动,只有在动态发生重大变化时才有可能突破。伊朗或希腊会产生这种变化,还有待观察,” he adds.
最后但并非最不重要的是,伯利兹的报告–唯一的说中美洲英语 nation –这表明该国已经在德克萨斯斯坦公司Treaty Energy所管理的斯坦恩克里克(Stann Creek)陆上勘探区首次钻探黑金。政府和条约都激动不已,政府和《条约》都认为斯坦恩克里克的勘探前景还有更多惊喜,即将在许可证申请之前在卡上再开两口探井。那’目前所有这些人,继续阅读并保持下去‘crude’!
