據油氣新聞網站4月9日報道 據領先的數據和分析公司GlobalData預計，美國將引領北美的煉油業，推動該地區的原油總煉油能力從2019年的2460萬桶/日提高到2024年的約2580萬桶/日。

該公司的報告《2024年全球煉油業展望——產能和資本支出展望，以及所有運營和計劃中的煉油廠的詳細情況》顯示，美國的煉油產能增加將來自2020-2024年期間的活躍和即將實施的項目，占該區域總產能增長的57%。

在北美，41.65萬桶/日的新增產能可能來自于在役煉油項目的擴建，而剩余的83.3萬桶產能則來自于計劃和宣布的新建項目。

GlobalData石油和天然氣分析師Adithya Rekha評論道：“在北美，到2024年，美國的煉油廠產能增長處于領先地位，活躍的煉油廠項目和新建項目分別以37.65萬桶和34.05萬桶的速度擴張，其貢獻幾乎相似。博蒙特煉油廠擴建預計將占該國新增產能的大部分，產能為25萬桶/日。”

GlobalData預計，墨西哥將成為北美第二大原油精煉產能增加國。兩個新建煉油廠（Dos Bocas和Soto la Marina）預計將占全國新增產能的全部，產量分別為34萬桶/日和6萬桶/日。兩家煉油廠都可能在2022年開始運營。

Rekha補充道：“加拿大占北美煉油廠新增產能的其余部分，到2024年約為13.25萬桶/日。大多數新增產能都是9.25萬桶/日的新建項目，而活躍煉油廠的擴建則占了剩余4萬桶/日的產能。”

US drives North America’s refining industry

The US is expected to lead the refining industry in North America, pushing the total crude oil refining capacity in the region from 24.6 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2019 to approximately 25.8 mbpd by 2024, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

The company’s report,‘Global Refining Industry Outlook to 2024 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook with Details of All Operating and Planned Refineries’, reveals that the US’s refining capacity additions will come from active and upcoming projects between 2020 and 2024, accounting for 57 per cent of the total capacity growth in the region.

In North America, 416.5 thousand barrel per day (mbd) capacity additions are likely from expansions of active refinery projects, while the remaining 833 mbd is from new-build planned and announced projects.

Adithya Rekha, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “In North America, the US leads refinery capacity growth by 2024, with almost similar contributions from the expansions of active refinery projects and new-build projects with 376.5mbd and 340.5 mbd, respectively. The Beaumont refinery expansion is expected to account for majority of the capacity additions in the country with 250 mbd.”

GlobalData expects Mexico to be the second largest country in terms of crude oil refining capacity additions in North America. Two new-build refineries – Dos Bocas refinery and Soto la Marina – are expected to account for entire capacity additions in the country, with 340mbd and 60mbd respectively. Both the refineries are likely to start operations in 2022.

Rekha adds: “Canada accounts for the rest of the refinery capacity additions in North America with about 132.5 mbd by 2024. Most of the capacity additions are though new-build projects with 92.5 mbd, while expansions of the active refineries account for the rest with 40 mbd”.
