????美國能源情報(bào)署（the U.S. Energy Information Administration）周一稱，2013年9月，中國成為了全球原油和其他液體燃料的最大凈進(jìn)口國。

????根據(jù)《國際財(cái)經(jīng)時(shí)報(bào)》(International Business Times，簡(jiǎn)稱IBT)梅根?克拉克報(bào)道，今年中國的液體燃料需求預(yù)計(jì)將超過1100萬桶/天。

????到2014年底，中國產(chǎn)量預(yù)計(jì)將較2011年增長(zhǎng)5%，達(dá)到美國產(chǎn)量的1/3。

????IBT稱，同期美國的石油和液體燃料產(chǎn)量預(yù)計(jì)將增長(zhǎng)31%至1330萬桶/天，增長(zhǎng)主要來自需要水力壓裂技術(shù)的致密油層。

????中國已取代美國成為全球最大的石油進(jìn)口國。

????美國的需求約為1890萬桶/天，低于2005年的峰值2080萬桶/天。

????“根據(jù)美國能源情報(bào)署的數(shù)據(jù)，2005年至2013年美國的煉油產(chǎn)品出口增長(zhǎng)了173%，降低了美國的石油和其他液體燃料的凈進(jìn)口數(shù)據(jù)，”IBT報(bào)道稱。

????中國最大的原油進(jìn)口國是沙特阿拉伯，它2013年供應(yīng)了中國石油進(jìn)口的19%。

????報(bào)告稱，其他供應(yīng)國包括伊拉克、阿曼、阿聯(lián)酋、安哥拉、委內(nèi)瑞拉和俄羅斯。

????China became the largest net importer of crude oil and other liquid fuels in the world in September 2013, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Monday.

????China’s demand for liquid fuels is expected to reach more than 11 million barrels per day this year, according to a report by Meagan Clark of the International Business Times.

????Chinese production is expected to grow by 5 percent from 2011 to the end of 2014, reaching one third of U.S. production.

????Petroleum and liquid fuels production in the U.S. is expected to grow by 31 percent in the same period, to 13.3 million barrels a day, primarily from tight oil plays that require hydraulic fracturing technology, the International Business Times said.

????China displaced the United States as the world’s biggest oil importer.

????U.S. demand is about 18.9 million barrels per day, down from peak consumption of 20.8 barrels a day in 2005.

????“American refined petroleum-product exports increased by 173 percent between 2005 and 2013, lowering total net U.S. imports of petroleum and other liquids, according to EIA,” the IBT report said.

????China’s largest crude oil supplier is Saudi Arabia, providing 19 percent of China’s oil imports in 2013.

????Other suppliers include Iraq, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Angola, Venezuela and Russia, the report said.
