中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年8月16日报道，美国能源信息署（EIA）8月16日公布8月11日当周原油库存下降600万桶以后，原油价格小幅走低。
相比之下，前一周的库存增加590万桶，而7月最后一周的库存减少1700万桶，这是多年来最大的库存减少。
8月15日，美国石油学会(API)估计，8月11日当周原油库存将减少620万桶。
在燃料方面，EIA估计8月11日当周库存水平的变化喜忧参半。报告期内汽油库存减少30万桶，汽油平均日产量为960万桶。相比之下，上周的库存减少270万桶，当时的汽油平均日产量为990万桶。
在中间馏分油方面，EIA估计8月份第二周库存将增加30万桶。平均日产量为470万桶。相比之下，上周库存减少170万桶，当时中间馏分油产量日均为490万桶。
路透社援引澳新银行(ANZ)分析师的话报道说：“对经济疲软将拖累需求的担忧，抵消了石油市场供应紧张的影响。”

Oil Gives Up Gains Despite Large Crude Draw
Crude oil prices moved slightly lower today after the Energy Information Administration reported an inventory decline of 6 million barrels for the week to August 11.
That change compared with a build of 5.9 million barrels for the previous week, which in turn followed the biggest inventory draw in years, at 17 million barrels for the last week of July.
A day earlier, the American Petroleum Institute estimated crude oil inventories had shed 6.2 million barrels in the week to August 11.
In fuels, the EIA estimated mixed changes in weekly inventory levels.
Gasoline inventories shed a modest 300,000 barrels in the reporting period, with production averaging 9.6 million bpd.
This compared with an inventory draw of 2.7 million barrels for the previous week, when production averaged 9.9 million barrels daily.
In middle distillates, the EIA estimated an inventory increase of 300,000 barrels for the second week of August. Production averaged 4.7 million barrels daily.
That compared with an inventory draw of 1.7 million barrels for the previous week, when middle distillate production averaged 4.9 million bpd.
"Concerns that faltering economy will weigh on demand offset tight supply in the oil market," ANZ analysts said, as quoted by Reuters.
