据路透社11月30日河内报道，越南国营企业平山炼油石化公司（BSR）周五晚间表示，该公司已与阿塞拜疆国家能源公司SOCAR签署协议，将在2020年购买500万桶原油。

BSR在其网站上的一份声明中表示，SOCAR Trading将在2020年上半年向BSR的Dung Quat炼油厂提供500万桶Azeri轻质原油。

该公司表示，从2020年起，阿塞拜疆原油也将成为其战略原油产品之一。此前，越南取消了一项原油进口税，该税已于去年11月生效。

BSR本周早些时候表示，到2020年将为Dung Quat炼油厂进口800万至1000万桶西德克萨斯中质原油和邦尼轻质原油。

由于越南现有油田的储量下降，该国国内产量下降，因此越南一直更多地依赖进口原油。

周五政府公布的数据显示，该国今年前11个月的原油进口较上年同期增长66％，至744万吨（5454万桶）。

Vietnam signs crude oil supply deal for 2020 with SOCAR

Vietnam’s state-run Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Co (BSR) has inked an agreement with Azeri state energy company SOCAR to buy five million barrels of crude in 2020, BSR said late on Friday.

SOCAR Trading will provide five million barrels of Azeri Light crude to BSR’s Dung Quat refinery during the first half of 2020, BSR said in a statement on its web site.

The company said Azeri crude would also become one of its strategic crude oil products from 2020, following Vietnam’s abolishment of an import tax on crude oil which took effect from November.

Earlier this week, BSR said it would import 8 million to 10 million barrels of West Texas Intermediate and Bonny Light crude oil in 2020 for its Dung Quat refinery.

Vietnam has been relying more on imported crude due to a slowdown in domestic output as reserves at its existing fields decline.

The country’s crude oil imports during the first 11 months of this year rose 66% from a year earlier to 7.44 million tonnes (54.54 million barrels), government data released on Friday showed.
