中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯1月31日东京报道，日本经济贸易和工业部周四公布的初步数据显示，日本在2018年连续第二年成为石油产品净进口国，汽油和汽油进口量增长一倍以上。

2018年，日本平均进口石油产品621009桶/日，而石油产品出口平均为522736桶/日。

石脑油占日本石油产品进口的绝大部分，同比基本保持不变，为487720桶/日，但去年汽油进口量同比翻番，达到35167桶/日，而汽油进口量平均为12499桶/日，高于5564桶/日。

日本的石油产品进口量在2018年有所增加，部分原因是春夏期间炼油厂周转季节相对较重。

METI以千升为单位公布其数据，标准普尔普氏能源资讯以6.2898的比率将其转换为桶。

普氏能源资讯还考虑了METI对前几个月发布的数据所做的修订。

Japan's oil product imports exceed exports again in 2018

Japan was a net oil product importer in 2018 for the second consecutive year, with imports of gasoline and gasoil both more than doubling, preliminary data released Thursday by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry showed.

Japan imported an average of 621,009 b/d of oil products in 2018, while oil product exports averaged 522,736 b/d.

Naphtha accounted for the vast majority of Japan's oil product imports and were more or less unchanged year on year at 487,720 b/d, but imports of gasoline doubled year on year to 35,167 b/d last year while gasoil imports averaged at 12,499 b/d, up from 5,564 b/d.

Japan's import of oil products increased in 2018 due in part to a relatively heavy refinery turnaround season over the spring-summer period.

METI publishes its data in kiloliters, which S&P Global Platts converts to barrels using a rate of 6.2898.

Platts also takes into account revisions made by METI to data published in previous months.
