中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社开普敦11月5日消息称，尼日利亚国家石油公司一名高级官员周一表示，NNPC可能与壳牌和埃克森美孚签署原油产品交换协议，类似于上周与BP签署的协议。

尼日利亚国家石油公司（NNPC）上周三宣布，它已与英国石油公司签署此类协议，并将在稍后提供更多细节。

NNPC上游的首席运营官Bello Rabiu在开普敦举行的非洲石油和天然气会议间隙告诉路透社：“不幸的是，壳牌和埃克森美孚几年前退出了尼日利亚的下游行业，但他们正在重返这一特殊交易，因为这对它们而言是一个获得原油并将产品卖给炼油厂的机会。”

NNPC通过掉期合约进口尼日利亚约70％的燃料需求，主要是汽油。NNPC与10家财团签订了名为“直接销售直接购买协议” 的合同，这十家财团包括Vitol、托克、摩科瑞和道达尔等贸易公司。

它将现有合同延长至2019年6月，但该财团的一些交易来源表示他们已经要求新的价格条款。

Rabiu表示，NNPC希望在2019年效仿2016年的做法，通过原油产品互换协议节省约10亿美元，他说，一旦非洲最大的原油生产商改造其炼油厂，这种做法可能会终止。

他表示：“如果我们的炼油厂能在未来18个月内恢复生产，在未来18个月内。因此，所有这些都只是权宜之计，但关键问题是我们希望在我们的炼油厂重新投入运营之前以最低的成本进口。”

Nigeria's NNPC says Shell, ExxonMobil also looking at crude swaps

Nigeria’s state oil firm NNPC could sign crude-for-product deals with Shell and ExxonMobil, similar to one signed with BP last week, a senior NNPC official said on Monday.

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) announced last Wednesday that it had signed such a deal with BP and would provide more details later.

“Unfortunately, Shell and ExxonMobil exited the downstream sector in Nigeria a couple of years ago but they are coming back for this particular arrangement, because it’s an opportunity for them to get crude and sell their products to the refineries,” NNPC’s chief operating officer for upstream, Bello Rabiu, told Reuters on the sidelines of an African oil and gas conference in Cape Town.

NNPC imports about 70 percent of Nigeria’s fuel needs, mainly gasoline, via swap contracts. NNPC has contracts, known as direct sale direct purchase agreements, with 10 consortiums that include trading houses Vitol, Trafigura , Mercuria and Total.

It extended the existing contracts to June 2019 but several trading sources in the consortiums said they had requested new price terms.

Rabiu said NNPC hoped in 2019 to emulate savings of around $1 billion seen in 2016 with its crude-for-product swaps, which he said would likely end once Africa’s top crude producer revamps its refineries.

“If our refineries are back, which we want in the next 18 months, this thing will stop. So, all these things are just stop-gap measures, but the key issue is that we wanted to import at the least cost before our refineries come back onstream,” he said.
