石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據美國彭博新聞社2月27日報道，由于歐佩克成員國沙特阿拉伯和委內瑞拉把他們的原油出口量降至異常低的水平，美國上周的原油進口量是23年來最低的。 美國能源信息署(EIA)周三公布的統計數據顯示，在截至2月22日的一周內，美國原油平均日進口量下降了161萬桶，至592萬桶，為1996年以來的最低水平。上周美國從沙特阿拉伯的原油日進口量降到了34.6萬桶。上周美國國內原油日產量飆升到了1210萬桶。 導致上周美國原油進口量跌至23年來最低水平的主要原因是委內瑞拉和沙特阿拉伯減少了出口美國的原油數量。由于美國對馬杜羅政府實施制裁，委內瑞拉出口美國的原油數量大幅下降，同時沙特阿拉伯也減少了對美國的原油出口來減少美國的原油供應過剩。美國原油庫存上周減少了865萬桶。 沙特阿拉伯能源大臣法利赫早些時候曾說，沙特阿拉伯傾向于把石油減產協議延長到今年下半年。在他發表這番言論之前，美國總統特朗普在推特上說，油價太高了，他呼吁石油輸出國組織放松石油生產限制。去年，在特朗普對油價上漲表示不滿后，沙特阿拉伯把石油產量提高到了創紀錄水平。 法利赫表示，他預計石油市場將在4月份達到平衡。 以四周平均值衡量，美國從沙特進口的原油數量降到了1987年5月以來的最低水平。在1985年至1986年期間，沙特石油產量暴跌，一度逼近200萬桶/天的關口，當時該國為了捍衛油價上漲而減產。 周三的報告顯示，美國已連續第二周成為原油和成品油凈出口國。 李峻 編譯自 彭博新聞社 原文如下： U.S. Oil Imports at 23-Year-Low, Output Hits Another Record The U.S. imported the least amount of crude oil on a weekly basis in 23 years, as OPEC-members Saudi Arabia and Venezuela cut their shipments to unusually low levels. Weekly crude imports fell 1.61 million barrels a day to 5.92 million, the lowest level since 1996. Weekly imports from Saudi Arabia fell to 346,000 barrels a day for the week ending Feb. 22, the Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday. Domestic crude production skyrocketed to 12.1 million barrels a day. The fall in imports comes as Venezuelan oil shipments drop due to U.S. sanctions against the government of Nicolas Maduro, and as Saudi Arabia curtails exports to the U.S. in an effort to reduce an oil glut in America. American crude stockpiles fell 8.65 million barrels last week. Saudi Arabia Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said earlier that the Saudis are leaning toward extending oil-output cuts into the second half of this year. His remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted this week that oil prices are too high and called on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to relax production curbs. Last year, the Saudis boosted production to record levels after Trump expressed displeasure at rising prices. Al-Falih has said he expects oil markets to balance by April. Using a 4-week average, U.S. imports of Saudi crude dropped to the lowest since May 1987. Saudi production collapsed between 1985 and 1986, at one point flirting with the 2 million barrel-a-day mark, as the kingdom lowered its production to defend higher oil prices. Wednesday’s report showed the U.S. became a net exporter of crude oil and refined products for the second week in recent history. ?
