中国石化新闻网讯 据钻机地带8月12日彭博社报道，上周美国汽油消费量恢复到了疫情爆发前的水平，但随着驾驶季节的临近，石油行业仍存在不确定性。 根据能源信息署(Energy Information Administration)的数据显示，上周汽油需求增加到每天871.5万桶，是自3月20日以来四周变化的最高水平。价格期货集团高级市场分析师菲尔弗林(phil flynn)表示 “这是一个令人印象深刻的数字。“看来人们终于回到了正轨，特别是自从我们看到了关于病毒第二波的大量讨论。” 麦格理在本周的一份报告中表示，在注册车辆最多的州加州和德克萨斯州发现了更多的车辆。 尽管如此，需求仍比去年每天减少了近100万桶。 这就相当于路上减少了大约150万辆皮卡。 汽油不是恢复中唯一的道路燃料。 上周柴油产品供应上升到自4月3日以来的最高水平，今年卡车的高速公路里程超过2019年，更多的购物者转向在线订单。消耗量的增加促使一度萎靡不振的精炼厂加工更多的原油。8月至今炼厂利用率从6月初的73％上升至81％。 随着夏天接近尾声，这些复苏的余烬可能会闪现出来。休斯顿石油分析师安迪·利普奥（Andy Lipow）表示，9月的汽油需求量环比和同比都可能下降，因为父母开车送孩子上学减少了。 美国劳动节标志着夏季旅行的结束。 郝芬 译自 钻机地带 原文如下: Gasoline Demand Hits Highest Level Since March
U.S. gasoline consumption recovered last week to where it stood just before the pandemic but uncertainty lingers for the oil industry as driving season season approaches its end. Gasoline demand last week increased to 8.715 million barrels-a-day, the highest level for the four-week moving average since March 20, Energy Information Administration data show. “That’s an impressive number,” said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group. “It looks like people are finally getting back on the road, especially since we had been seeing a lot of discussion of the second wave of the virus.” More drivers were spotted in California and Texas, the states with the most registered vehicles, Macquarie said in a note this week. Still, demand is off last year’s figure by nearly 1 million barrels a day. That’s the equivalent of taking about 1.5 million pickup trucks off the road. Gasoline isn’t the only road fuel in recovery mode. Product supplied for diesel last week rose to its highest since April 3. Highway miles for trucks are up this year over 2019 with more shoppers turning to online orders. The uptick in consumption has prompted once-moribund refiners to process more crude. Refinery utilization rose to 81% so far in August from 73% in early June. These embers of a recovery may flicker out as summer comes to a close. September will likely bring a drop in gasoline demand figures both monthly and compared to last year with fewer parents driving kids to school, Houston oil analyst Andy Lipow said.
