沙特增加对美石油出口

    中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社9月7日伦敦报道称，沙特阿拉伯对美国的石油出口显著增加，这标志着欧佩克的主要产油国正在应对美国总统特朗普对能源市场降温所带来的压力。

    虽然出口增长始于今年早些时候，但在过去的3个月里，特朗普多次通过私人外交和公共推特讨论要求沙特提高产量以控制能源价格之后，出口增长加快了。

    根据政府数据显示，上周沙特对美石油出货量达到自2017年底以来的首次100万桶/天的四周平均水平，自5月底以来增加了约25万桶/天。

    在欧佩克和包括俄罗斯在内的盟国在6月份同意提高产量后，沙特对美国的出口增长几乎相当于该国自5月底以来实施的总产出增幅的近一半。

    Saudis ramp up oil exports to the U.S.

    Saudi Arabia has markedly increased oil exports to America, a sign OPEC’s leading producer is responding to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to cool down the energy market.

    While the export boost started earlier this year, it accelerated over the past three months after Trump repeatedly -- both through private diplomacy and public Twitter harangues -- asked the Saudis to lift production to keep energy prices in check.

    Saudi oil shipments into the U.S. reached a four-week average of one million bpd last week for the first time since late 2017, according to government data, and are up roughly 250,000 bpd since late May.

    The increase in Saudi exports into the U.S. equates to almost half the overall output increases the kingdom has implemented since late May after OPEC and allies including Russia agreed in June to boost output.
