據OE網站3月22日報道，據兩名業內人士周一表示，印度Mangalore煉油廠和石化有限公司（MRPL）在招標中購買了首批巴西Tupi原油。

并補充稱，這批100萬桶的貨物由荷蘭皇家殼牌出售，將于5月交付。價格目前尚不清楚。

印度國有煉油商計劃在5月份將沙特原油進口量減少約四分之一，這導致印度與沙特政府的對峙不斷升級。

據消息人士稱，MRPL一直在招標中尋找含硫原油，但獲得了更具競爭力的廉價低硫原油。

Indian Refinery Buys Brazilian Tupi Crude

India's Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd has bought its first-ever cargo of Brazilian Tupi crude oil in a tender, two industry sources said on Monday.

The 1-million-barrel cargo was sold by Royal Dutch Shell for May delivery, he added.

The price was not immediately known.

MRPL had been seeking sour crude in the tender, but had been offered sweet crude at more competitive prices, the sources said.
