中国石化新闻网讯 据国外媒体6月11日报道，英国石油公司（BP）周三公布的《2016年世界能源统计报告》数据显示，在日消费量同比增加8.1%至415.9万桶/天的支持下，自2008年以来一直是亚洲第2大能源消费国的印度在2015年超过了日本，成为世界第3大石油消费国，仅次于美国和中国。

这个现在是亚洲第2大石油消费国的南亚国家，去年石油消费量占到全球石油总消费量的4.5%，略高于日本的4.4%，日本去年平均日消费415万桶石油。

尽管中国经济增长放缓，以及其正在从工业经济转变至服务驱动经济，作为亚洲经济强国的中国在2015年仍保持了亚洲最大石油消费国的位置，日需求量同比增加了6.3%至1196.8万桶/天，占到全球总需求量的12.9%。

India Overtakes Japan as World's Third Largest Oil User After US, China

RZnews.com Saturday,June 11,2016

India, Asia's second biggest energy consumer since 2008, has overtaken Japan as the world's third largest oil consuming country in 2015, supported by an 8.1 percent year-on-year increase in daily consumption to 4.159 million barrels, data released Wednesday by BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2016 showed.

The South Asian nation, now Asia's second largest oil consumer, accounted for 4.5 percent of daily global oil demand last year, marginally higher than Japan's 4.4 percent, which was equivalent to 4.15 million barrels.

The region's economic powerhouse China retained its position as Asia's top oil consumer last year, registering 6.3 percent growth to 11.968 million barrels per day and accounting for 12.9 percent of global demand despite a slowing economy as well as a shift from an industrial to a service-driven economy.
