????維多表示，去年其原油和石油產(chǎn)品的日交易量為710萬桶，低于前年同期的每日800萬桶。

????維多首席執(zhí)行官羅素?哈迪表示，“自Covid-19被宣布為大流行以來已剛剛過去12個(gè)月。”“新冠病毒在2020年塑造了我們的業(yè)務(wù)和生活。封鎖初期的特殊市場(chǎng)條件和需求的突然下降導(dǎo)致了巨大的物流挑戰(zhàn)和市場(chǎng)機(jī)遇。”

????哈迪表示，“今年年初，全球石油庫存量增加了10多億桶，石油行業(yè)不得不應(yīng)對(duì)前所未有的情況重組供應(yīng)鏈，以處理無論是生產(chǎn)商還是消費(fèi)者都無法控制的過剩原油和石油產(chǎn)品。盡管大量需求已經(jīng)恢復(fù)，前景也很樂觀，但復(fù)蘇速度比許多人預(yù)期的要慢，近期的需求不確定性依然存在。”

????哈迪還表示，盡管需求不確定性依然存在，但維多預(yù)計(jì)除航空業(yè)外，大多數(shù)行業(yè)的石油需求都會(huì)復(fù)蘇。維多首席執(zhí)行官表示，鑒于此，全球石油需求復(fù)蘇需要更長時(shí)間。

????Oil Trading Giant Vitol Sees Revenues Drop In 2020

????Commodity trade major Vitol reported a drop in its 2020 revenue to $140 billion from $225 billion a year earlier as the pandemic plunged its traded oil volumes sharply lower.

????The company said it had traded 7.1 million bpd of crude oil and products last year, down from 8 million barrels daily a year earlier.

????“It is just over 12 months since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic,” chief executive Russell Hardy said. “The virus shaped our business and our lives in 2020. The extraordinary market conditions in the initial stages of lockdown and sudden drop in demand resulted in huge logistical challenges and market opportunities.”

????“With stocks building by over one billion barrels in the early part of the year, the industry had to manage unprecedented circumstances, restructuring supply chains to handle the crude oil and products that neither producers nor consumers could contain. Whilst much demand has returned and the outlook is positive, the recovery has been slower than many anticipated and near-term uncertainties remain.”

????Despite the lingering uncertainties, Hardy also said Vitol expected oil demand recovery across most sectors, with the notable exception of aviation. For that, Vitol’s chief executive said, demand recovery would take a while longer.

????Vitol reportedly made a profit of $3 billion last year, according to sources cited by Bloomberg, much of it during the worst of the pandemic—the second quarter of 2020.

????Over the longer term, Vitol said it expected a shift in energy demand from liquid hydrocarbons to electricity, although it noted that over the medium-term, demand for fuels such as liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas would grow as economies shift from coal to liquid hydrocarbons.
