據(jù)《亞洲潤(rùn)滑油周刊》5月27日消息，韓國(guó)海關(guān)總署公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，4月份韓國(guó)基礎(chǔ)油出口量下降了近20%，延續(xù)了今年月度出口量同比持平或下降的趨勢(shì)。

雖然韓國(guó)沒有大量進(jìn)口基礎(chǔ)油，但4月份進(jìn)口的基礎(chǔ)油價(jià)值躍升了50%以上，達(dá)到了2021年7月以來(lái)的最高水平。

4月份韓國(guó)基礎(chǔ)油出口344879噸，較去年同期的425705噸下降19%。今年韓國(guó)基礎(chǔ)油月出口量均低于38萬(wàn)噸，而在2021年最后四個(gè)月的每個(gè)月都超過了40萬(wàn)噸。

4月份韓國(guó)基礎(chǔ)油出口額從去年同期的4.040億美元減少到3.817億美元，減少了5%。今年的月出口額均低于4億美元，而去年最后4個(gè)月的月出口額都超過了4.28億美元。

作為主要的基礎(chǔ)油出口國(guó)之一，韓國(guó)的大部分基礎(chǔ)油產(chǎn)量都銷往世界各地的市場(chǎng)，為其煉油廠帶來(lái)了可觀的利潤(rùn)。

South Korea base Oil Exports Drop

South Korea’s base oil export volumes dropped almost 20% in April, continuing a trend of year-on-year flat or lower monthly volumes this year, according to data released by the Korea Customs Service.

Although the country does not import large volumes of base oils, the value of those imports jumped by more than 50% in April to its highest value since July 2021.

South Korea exported 344,879 metric tons of base oil in April, a 19% decline from 425,705 tons. The monthly volumes were all below 380,000 tons this year, after topping the 400,000-ton mark in each of the last four months of 2021.

The value of base oil exported decreased 5% to $381.7 million, down from $400.4 million. The monthly export value was less than $400 million each month this year, after exceeding $428 million in each of the last four months of last year.

As one of the leading base oil exporters, South Korea sends most of its production to markets around the world, bringing in substantial profits for its refiners.
