???? 據2月16日Oil Monster消息:日本東北部發生強烈地震,導致電力、動車線路中斷。Eneos Corp為首的日本煉油商關閉了該國五分之一的原油煉油產能。
????全球第四大石油進口國的煉油廠關閉,是去年疫情導致原油需求蒸發后的另一個潛在打擊。
????日產量多達74.3萬桶的石油加工能力被閑置,接近日本大約340萬桶/天產能的22%。
????此次地震震中附近的橫濱和仙臺等地的煉油廠要么自動關閉,要么立即閑置以待檢查。
????Eneos表示,發生大地震后,仙臺煉油廠關閉了其14.5萬桶/天的產能。另外,日產量為27萬桶的根岸煉油廠也已關閉,且沒有確定恢復運營的日期。
????日本富士石油有限公司一位發言人稱,地震發生后,該公司關閉了位于東京東部千葉市Sodegaura煉油廠14.3萬桶/天的原油蒸餾裝置(CDU)。
????富士石油唯一的煉油廠在地震后自動關閉,因為未發現損壞,該公司計劃在周二重啟CDU。

????Japan Quake Knocks Out 20% of Country’s Refining Capacity
????Japanese refiners led by the biggest, Eneos Corp, shut down a fifth of the country’s crude oil refining capacity after a powerful earthquake struck northeastern Japan knocking out power, bullet train lines and injuring more than 150 people.
????They refinery shutdowns in the world’s fourth-biggest oil importer are another potential hit after the pandemic led to the evaporation of crude demand over the last year.
????As much as 743,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil-processing capacity has been idled, nearly 22% of Japan’s roughly 3.4 million bpd capacity.
????The refineries in locations from Yokohama to Sendai near the epicentre of the 7.3-magnitude earthquake, which struck a little before midnight on Saturday, either automatically shut down or were idled immediately for checks.
????Eneos said on Monday it shut down its 145,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Sendai refinery after it was hit by a large earthquake on Saturday. The company is still making checks on the refinery and does not have a restart date, the spokesman said.
????Eneos later said the company’s 270,000 bpd Negishi refinery, had also closed and it had no date for the resumption of operations.
????The earthquake struck off the coast of northeastern Japan, injuring scores of people, triggering widespread power outages and causing damage across parts of northern Japan, including in Fukushima which is still recovering a decade after a bigger quake in the same area.
????Fuji Oil Co Ltd shut the 143,000 barrel-per-day crude distillation unit (CDU) at its Sodegaura oil refinery in Chiba, east of Tokyo, after it was hit by an earthquake on Saturday, a company spokesman said on Monday.
????Fuji Oil’s only refinery was shut down automatically after the quake and the company plans to restart the CDU on Tuesday as no damage was found, the spokesman said.
????Idemitsu Kosan did not immediately respond to a request to comment on media reports it had shut down its 190,000 bpd Chiba refinery, also because of the quake.
