中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯伦敦6月16日消息，英国石油公司（BP）在其世界能源统计年度报告中表示，去年全球石油消费的增长速度快于石油产量的增速。

周一在莫斯科发布会上公布的《BP世界能源统计评论》报告显示，2013年世界石油需求增长1.4%或140万桶/天，略高于历史平均水平。但石油产量仅增长0.6%或56万桶/天。

近年来市场面失衡表明了行业的几大趋势。BP表示，页岩繁荣提高了美国产量，很大程度上抵消了全球其他地区中断的供应量。BP首席经济学家克里斯托夫·鲁尔表示，因此，过去三年，油价的波动性是自1970年代初以来的最低水平。

BP表示，去年世界能源需求增长2.3%，低于历史平均水平，主要原因是全球经济低迷。新兴国家的能源需求增长3.1%，低于长期平均水平。但在经合组织的发达国家中，因美国强劲增长，能源需求增长1.2%，高于这些国家的平均水平。结果，经合组织国家与非经合组织国家之间的增幅差距缩窄至自2000年以来从未有过的水平。

BP还表示，去年煤炭消费量增长3%，快于其他矿物燃料，占全球主要能源消耗量的比例是30.1%，创下自1970年以来的最高水平。可再生能源占全球消费量的2.7%。

Global Oil Consumption Outpaces Production

By Justin Scheck and Benot Faucon

LONDON--Global oil consumption last year grew faster than oil production, BP PLC said in its annual snapshot of world energy statistics.

The BP Statistical Review of Energy, unveiled Monday morning at a Moscow conference, found that world-wide, oil consumption grew 1.4%, or 1.4 million barrels a day, which is slightly above the historical average. But oil production grew by just .6%, or 560,000 barrels a day.

The imbalance points to several big trends in the industry in recent years. The shale boom has boosted production in the U.S., BP said, largely offsetting disruptions elsewhere in the world. As a result, said Christof Rhl, BP's chief economist, for the past three years, oil-price "volatility is at its lowest level since the early 1970s."

BP said that world-wide energy demand grew 2.3%, which is less than the historical average, largely because of global economic weakness. Energy consumption in emerging nations grew by 3.1%, below the long-term average. But in the "mature economies" of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, consumption grew by 1.2%--higher than average for those nations--because of strong U.S. growth. The result, BP said, is that "the gap between growth in the OECD and non-OECD narrowed to levels not seen since 2000."

BP also said that coal consumption grew by 3%, faster than any other fossil fuel, and its share of global primary energy consumption was 30.1%, the highest since 1970. Renewable energy accounted for a record 2.7% of global consumption, BP said.
