中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社2月27日报道，由于欧佩克成员国沙特阿拉伯和委内瑞拉把他们的原油出口量降至异常低的水平，美国上周的原油进口量是23年来最低的。 美国能源信息署(EIA)周三公布的统计数据显示，在截至2月22日的一周内，美国原油平均日进口量下降了161万桶，至592万桶，为1996年以来的最低水平。上周美国从沙特阿拉伯的原油日进口量降到了34.6万桶。上周美国国内原油日产量飙升到了1210万桶。 导致上周美国原油进口量跌至23年来最低水平的主要原因是委内瑞拉和沙特阿拉伯减少了出口美国的原油数量。由于美国对马杜罗政府实施制裁，委内瑞拉出口美国的原油数量大幅下降，同时沙特阿拉伯也减少了对美国的原油出口来减少美国的原油供应过剩。美国原油库存上周减少了865万桶。 沙特阿拉伯能源大臣法利赫早些时候曾说，沙特阿拉伯倾向于把石油减产协议延长到今年下半年。在他发表这番言论之前，美国总统特朗普在推特上说，油价太高了，他呼吁石油输出国组织放松石油生产限制。去年，在特朗普对油价上涨表示不满后，沙特阿拉伯把石油产量提高到了创纪录水平。 法利赫表示，他预计石油市场将在4月份达到平衡。 以四周平均值衡量，美国从沙特进口的原油数量降到了1987年5月以来的最低水平。在1985年至1986年期间，沙特石油产量暴跌，一度逼近200万桶/天的关口，当时该国为了捍卫油价上涨而减产。 周三的报告显示，美国已连续第二周成为原油和成品油净出口国。 李峻 编译自 彭博新闻社 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.
