南非考虑建造新炼油厂来加工伊朗原油直管

据国外媒体9月23日比勒陀利亚报道，南非政府的一牛仔裙名官员22日在比勒陀利亚表示，为了加强国内的汽油供应以及减少对外国公司的依赖，南非正在考虑建造一个新的炼油厂来加工从伊朗进口的原油。

南非能源部石油和石油产品监管局副总经理泰里索·马克贝拉说，建造新炼油厂的计划正在被“概念化”。但他无法估计施工的成本或时间框架。

比勒陀利亚曾经表示，如果制裁被取消，南非将“即日”就恢复从德黑兰进口原油。然而，南非没有自己的炼油厂，南非将不得不依赖在非洲最发达经济体内拥有炼油厂的外国公司。

在制裁前，伊朗曾是南非最大的石油供应国。非洲大陆第二大原油消费国南非在制裁前平均每天从伊朗进口大约38万桶原油。

South Africa is considering building an oil refinery that will process Iranian crude to bolster its petrol supply and reduce its dependence on foreign companies, a government official said on Tuesday.

Plans for the new refinery were being "conceptualised" Tseliso Maqubela, the deputy director general for petroleum and petroleum products regulation at the energy ministry, said. He could not estimate the cost or time frame for construction.

Pretoria has said it will resume oil imports from Tehran "tomorrow" if sanctions are lifted but without its own refinery, it would have to rely on foreign oil companies who own refineries in Africa's most developed economy.

Before sanctions, Iran was the biggest oil supplier to South Africa, the continent's second-biggest crude consumer, importing around 380,000 barrels per day (bpd).
