中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年8月29日报道，美国石油学会(API)8月29日报告称，由于市场在权衡经济活动与美国原油库存之间的关系，美国原油库存大幅减少1148.6万桶，而前一周减少241.8万桶。
分析师原本预计美国本周原油库存将减少290万桶。根据API公布的数据，尽管自4月以来美国原油库存净减少了近4400万桶，但今年迄今为止美国原油库存仍增加了近400万桶。
美国能源部(DoE)报告称，在8月21日的一周内，战略石油储备(SPR)的原油库存又增加了60万桶，但SPR库存仍处于近40年来的3.495亿桶的低点。按照目前的存量补充率，战略石油储备应在不到十年的时间内恢复到2021年的水平。
API的数据公布前，周二油价上涨，美国东部时间下午4时16分，布伦特原油价格上涨1.28%，至每桶85.50美元，比上周每桶上涨1.50美元，而西得克萨斯中质原油价格上涨1.44%，至每桶81.25美元，比上周同期每桶上涨1美元。
本周汽油库存增加140万桶，上周为减少189.8万桶。汽油库存比每年这个时候的五年平均水平低约5%。馏分油库存继前一周减少15.3万桶后增加了246万桶，目前已经比五年同期平均水平低16%左右。
本周美国库欣中心原油库存减少223万桶。

Surprise Crash In Crude Inventories Sends Oil Prices Higher
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has reported a massive 11.486-million-barrel draw in U.S. crude inventories, compared with the previous week's 2.418-million-barrel draw as the markets weigh the economic activity against U.S. crude inventories.
Analysts were expecting an inventory draw of 2.9 million barrels for the week. The total number of barrels of crude oil gained so far this year is just shy of 4 million barrels, according to API data, although there is a net draw in crude inventories since April of almost 44 million barrels.
On Monday, the Department of Energy (DoE) reported that crude oil inventories in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) rose by another 600,000 barrels in the week ending August 21, with the SPR inventory still sitting at a near 40-year low of 349.5 million barrels. At the current replenishment rate, the SPR should return to 2021 levels in a little under a decade.
Oil prices were rising on Tuesday ahead of API data, with Brent trading up 1.28% at $85.50 at 4:16 p.m. ET—a $1.50 gain week over week, while WTI was trading up 1.44%, at $81.25 per barrel—a gain of $1 per barrel from this time last week.
Gasoline inventories saw a build this week, rising by 1.40 million barrels, compared to last week's 1.898 million barrels dip in the week prior. Gasoline inventories are roughly 5% less than the five-year average for this time of year. Distillate inventories rose by 2.46 million barrels, after the 153,000 barrel draw in the week prior, and are already sitting somewhere around 16% below the five-year average for this time of year.
Cushing inventories fell by 2.23 million barrels.
