2023年初，网上传出一些消息，说中国从俄罗斯买石油是全球最贵的，1月份进口380万吨，每桶不含运费72到83美元，而印度那边才30到35美元，还包运 费。乍一看，中国好像吃亏了，花冤枉钱买东西。可这事儿你细想就知道，事情没那么简单。 能源贸易这玩意儿，表面数字好看，背后一堆弯弯绕绕。俄罗斯石油出口被西方卡脖子，中国作为大买家，自然得算好每一笔账。 2022年，俄乌冲突闹得沸沸扬扬，西方对俄罗斯能源下死手，禁运、封顶价，每桶60美元上限。俄罗斯石油一下子找不到买家，转头就往亚洲跑。 中国和印度成了主力军。中国进口量稳居第一，2024年全年从俄罗斯拿了1.0847亿吨原油，占总进口的19.6%。印度也不含糊，2024年高峰时每天180万桶， 占俄罗斯出口的37%。 数据上看，中国进口均价在77美元左右每桶，印度那边现货价低得多，折扣能到每桶20到30美元。可为什么中国看起来贵？关键在运输方式和合同类型上。 中国买俄罗斯石油，主要靠管道和铁路。像中俄原油管道，从大庆到满洲里，全长近5000公里，年输油能力1500万吨。这东西建起来花了大钱，维护成本 高，运费自然不便宜。 管道油稳定，基本不中断供应，对中国能源安全 ...
