據(jù)《亞洲潤滑油周刊》6月17日消息，韓國海關(guān)總署公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，5月份韓國基礎(chǔ)油出口量出現(xiàn)反彈，較去年同期增長近20%，結(jié)束了今年前三個月月度出口量同比持平或下降的趨勢。5月份韓國基礎(chǔ)油出口額也上漲了近50%。

5月份，韓國出口了379182噸基礎(chǔ)油，較去年同期的321141噸增加了18%。這比4月份的344927噸增加了10%，回到了3月份的379520噸左右，3月份的出口量是今年以來的最高水平。

5月份韓國基礎(chǔ)油出口額從去年同期的3.236億美元增長48%至4.784億美元。5月出口額較4月的3.818億美元增長25%，為今年首次突破4億美元大關(guān)。

作為主要的基礎(chǔ)油出口國之一，韓國的大部分產(chǎn)品都出口到世界各地市場，這為韓國煉油廠帶來了可觀的利潤。

今年5月，韓國進口了37570噸基礎(chǔ)油，比去年同期的55260噸減少了32%。

5月份韓國基礎(chǔ)油進口額同比下降9%，從5520萬美元降至5030萬美元。這是基礎(chǔ)油進口額連續(xù)第二個月突破5000萬美元大關(guān)。去年，基礎(chǔ)油進口額只有兩次超過這一數(shù)字，5月份為5520萬美元，7月份為5120萬美元。

South Korea base Oil Exports Rise

South Korea’s base oil export volumes rebounded in May, almost 20% higher than in the same month last year, ending a trend of year-on-year flat or lower monthly volumes during the first three months of this year, according to data released by the Korean Customs service. The value of the base oil exported also jumped nearly 50%.

The country exported 379,182 metric tons of base oil in May, an 18% increase from 321,141 tons. Sequentially, that was up 10% from 344,927 tons in April and returned to about the same 379,520 tons mark set in March, which was the highest monthly total this year.

The value of the base oil exported rose 48% to $478.4 million in May, up from $323.6 million. Sequentially, May’s total was 25% higher than $381.8 million in April and represented the first time the monthly export value crossed the $400 million plateau this year. 

One of the leading base oil exporters, South Korea ships most of its production to markets around the world, which brings in substantial profits for its refiners.

In May the country imported 37,570 tons of base oil, 32% less than 55,260 tons.

The value of base oil imported decreased 9% to $50.3 million, down from $55.2 million. That’s the second successive month that base oil import value crossed the $50 million mark. Last year, base oil import value topped that number only twice – the $55.2 million mark in May and $51.2 million in July.
