美國(guó)原油庫(kù)存激增達(dá)1900萬(wàn)桶

據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站4月15日消息 美國(guó)能源信息署（EIA）表示，上周美國(guó)原油庫(kù)存增加1900萬(wàn)桶，創(chuàng)下歷史上最大單周增幅，原因是由于疫情導(dǎo)致需求下滑，煉油企業(yè)紛紛減產(chǎn)。

在截至4月10日的一周內(nèi)，原油庫(kù)存上漲幅度遠(yuǎn)大于路透社的調(diào)查，該調(diào)查稱(chēng)庫(kù)存上漲1170萬(wàn)桶，并抵消了全球產(chǎn)油國(guó)之間達(dá)成大幅減產(chǎn)協(xié)議所帶來(lái)的部分樂(lè)觀(guān)情緒。受此消息影響，原油期貨價(jià)格暴跌。

全球的燃料需求下降了大約30%，因?yàn)樯虡I(yè)已經(jīng)關(guān)閉，居民避免公眾集會(huì)和旅行。大流行已經(jīng)造成超過(guò)13萬(wàn)人死亡，200萬(wàn)人感染。EIA表示，美國(guó)大多數(shù)州都發(fā)布了命令，要求人們居家。過(guò)去四周的汽油需求比去年同期下降了32%。

煉油企業(yè)的反應(yīng)是減少原油采購(gòu)和加工，他們的產(chǎn)能占全國(guó)的69%，是2008年9月以來(lái)的最低水平，這些應(yīng)對(duì)需求疲軟的行動(dòng)正波及管道公司和石油生產(chǎn)商。后者正被迫減產(chǎn)，因?yàn)橐恍┕艿拦疽驯硎荆鞘陀幸粋€(gè)可靠的目的地，否則它們無(wú)法運(yùn)輸石油。

與此同時(shí)，庫(kù)存仍在繼續(xù)增加。美國(guó)能源信息署表示，美國(guó)原油期貨交割中心俄克拉荷馬州庫(kù)欣的原油庫(kù)存上周增加570萬(wàn)桶，目前總量為5500萬(wàn)桶。管道公司表示，該中心的產(chǎn)能約為7600萬(wàn)桶，并可能在5月中旬前達(dá)到飽和。

受此消息影響，原油價(jià)格下跌，截至美國(guó)東部時(shí)間上午10:48，美國(guó)原油價(jià)格下跌2.3%，至19.69美元/桶，布倫特原油價(jià)格下跌6.8%，至27.60美元/桶。

EIA稱(chēng)，上周煉油廠(chǎng)原油日產(chǎn)量下降了96.9萬(wàn)桶。煉油廠(chǎng)利用率本周下降6.5個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

美國(guó)汽油庫(kù)存本周增加490萬(wàn)桶，至創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的2.622億桶，高于640萬(wàn)桶的預(yù)期。

EIA數(shù)據(jù)顯示，包括柴油和取暖油在內(nèi)的餾分油庫(kù)存本周增加630萬(wàn)桶，達(dá)到1.29億桶，而預(yù)期將增加140萬(wàn)桶。

EIA稱(chēng)，上周美國(guó)原油凈進(jìn)口量下降79.7萬(wàn)桶/天。

U.S. crude stocks surge by a record 19 million barrels

U.S. crude oil stockpiles rose by 19 million barrels last week, the biggest one-week increase in history, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said, as refiners throttled back activity due to slumping demand as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The build in the week to April 10 was much larger than the Reuters poll calling for a 11.7 million-barrel rise and offsets some of the optimism that had bloomed as a result of a worldwide pact between oil producers to cut output sharply. Crude futures slumped on the news.

Worldwide fuel demand has dropped by roughly 30% as businesses have shuttered, and residents avoid public gatherings and travel due to the pandemic, which has killed more than 130,000 people and infected 2 million. Most U.S. states have issued orders asking people to stay at home; gasoline demand over the last four weeks has dropped by 32% from the year-ago period, EIA said.

Refiners have responded by cutting crude purchases and processing; they were operating at 69% of capacity nationwide, their lowest since September 2008, and their actions to counter weak demand is rippling through pipeline companies and oil producers. The latter are being forced to cut production, as some pipeline companies have said they cannot ship oil unless it has a proven destination.

Storage, meanwhile, continues to fill. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub for U.S. crude futures rose by 5.7 million barrels last week, the EIA said, and now total 55 million barrels. The hub has about 76 million barrels of capacity, and could be full by mid-May, pipeline companies have said.

Crude prices dropped on the news, with U.S. crude down 2.3% to $19.69 a barrel as of 10:48 a.m. ET (1448 GMT) and Brent down 6.8% to $27.60 a barrel.

Refinery crude runs fell by 969,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the last week, EIA said. Refinery utilization rates fell by 6.5 percentage points on the week.

U.S. gasoline stocks rose by 4.9 million barrels in the week to record high at 262.2 million barrels, the EIA said, compared with expectations for a 6.4 million-barrel rise.

Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, rose by 6.3 million barrels in the week to 129 million barrels, versus expectations for a 1.4 million-barrel rise, the EIA data showed.

Net U.S. crude imports fell last week by 797,000 bpd last week, EIA said.
