中国石化新闻网讯 据油气加工网7月22日报道称，国际能源署（IEA）表示，正密切关注霍尔木兹海峡的事态发展，并准备在必要时采取行动，以保持全球石油市场的供应。

这家总部位于巴黎的机构表示，通过海峡的自由能源过境权对全球经济至关重要，必须予以维护。

国际能源署在一份声明中说：“消费者可以放心，石油市场目前供应充足，2019年上半年石油产量超过需求，推动全球石油库存每天增加90万桶。”

霍尔木兹海峡是世界能源贸易的重要海上运输通道。据称，每天约有2000万桶石油通过海峡运输，约占全球供应量的20％。

IEA says ready to act to keep oil market supplied

The International Energy Agency (IEA) said it was closely monitoring developments in the Strait of Hormuz and was ready to act if needed to keep the global oil market supplied.

The Paris-based agency said the right of free energy transit through the strait was critical to the global economy and must be maintained.

“Consumers can be reassured that the oil market is currently well supplied, with oil production exceeding demand in the first half of 2019, pushing up global stocks by 900,000 barrels per day,” the IEA said in a statement.

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime transit route for world energy trade. About 20 million barrels of oil transit each day through the strait, or about 20% of global supply, it said.
