中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网10月26日报道，柴油短缺正在美国各地蔓延。
根据彭博社的一份报告，燃料供应商曼斯菲尔德能源公司（Mansfield Energy）在给客户的一封信中写道，“情况正在迅速恶化”，“有时，运输公司不得不访问多个码头来寻找供应，这会延迟交货，并给当地的卡车运输能力带来压力”。
美国柴油库存几个月来一直在稳步下降，截至10月份已达到2008年以来的最低水平。目前，美国只有25天的柴油储备供应量。
彭博社在其报告中指出，将柴油和其他馏分油输送到东海岸的Colonial管道已经被预订一空，这应该会缓解供应压力，但这将需要一段时间，预计11月初将首次交付。
本周早些时候，高盛（Goldman Sachs）警告称，柴油短缺不仅限于美国，而且正在欧洲蔓延，这将导致今年冬天油价上涨。
据彭博社报道称，该银行表示，在美国，炼油产能投资不足、炼油厂关闭和运营中断都导致了今年成品油的短缺，尤其是柴油。
该行分析师在一份报告中写道，炼油方面的限制可能使原油市场和产品市场相差悬殊，使原油供应的政策管理在控制消费价格方面的效果下降。
与此同时，据路透社本月早些时候报道，柴油的短缺促使贸易商开始转移原本运往欧洲的燃油货物。
根据油轮跟踪数据显示，至少有两艘载有约9万吨柴油和航空燃料的油轮原定驶往欧洲，但后来改道驶往美国东海岸。

A Diesel Shortage Is Spreading Across The U.S.
A shortage of diesel fuel is spreading across the United .
Per a Bloomberg report, fuel supplier Mansfield Energy wrote in a note to its clients that “conditions are rapidly devolving” and “At times, carriers are having to visit multiple terminals to find supply, which delays deliveries and strains local trucking capacity.”
U.S. diesel fuel stocks have been on a stable decline for months, reaching the lowest level since 2008 as of October. Currently, the United States only has 25 days of diesel supply in reserve.
Bloomberg noted in its report that the Colonial Pipeline has been fully booked to carry diesel fuel and other distillates to the East Coast, which should ease the supply pressure but it will take a while, with the first deliveries expected in early November.
Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs warned that the diesel shortage, which is not confined to the U.S. only but is spreading in Europe as well, will cause higher fuel prices this winter.
In the U.S., the bank said, underinvestment in refining capacity and refinery closures and operation disruptions have all contributed to the scarcity of refined oil products this year but especially diesel, Bloomberg reported.
“Refining constraints can create a sharp wedge between where crude and product markets clear, making policy management of crude supply less effective at controlling consumer prices,” the bank’s analysts wrote in a note.
Meanwhile, the scarcity of diesel has prompted traders to start diverting cargoes with the fuel that were originally bound for Europe, Reuters reported earlier this month.
Tanker tracking data showed that at least two tankers with some 90,000 tons of diesel and jet fuel that were initially bound for Europe were diverted toward the U.S. East Coast.
