美國決定先購買3000萬桶石油作為戰(zhàn)略儲(chǔ)備

據(jù)能源信息統(tǒng)計(jì)3月23日消息，美國能源部已決定，到2020年6月底，為戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備購買至多3000萬桶原油，以遵守總統(tǒng)指令，充實(shí)美國戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備。

美國戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備的總存儲(chǔ)容量為7.135億桶石油，在美國墨西哥灣沿岸的地下鹽穴的可儲(chǔ)容量為7700萬桶。對(duì)于大多數(shù)儲(chǔ)存站點(diǎn)，其填充速度可以達(dá)到22.5萬桶/天。因此，美國將以大約26億美元的價(jià)格購買約7700萬桶原油。前3000萬桶將包括從美國中小型生產(chǎn)商處購買的低硫原油(至多1130萬桶)和高硫原油(至多為1870萬桶)；交付預(yù)計(jì)在2020年5月1日至6月30日之間。第二輪采購預(yù)計(jì)將在60至90天內(nèi)完成。

The United States will buy 30 mbl of oil for the strategic reserve

The US Department of Energy (DoE) has decided to buy up to 30 mbl of crude oil by the end of June 2020 for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), to comply with a presidential directive to fill up the SPR with US crude oil.

The SPR has a total storage capacity of 713.5 mbl, with an available capacity of 77 mbl in underground salt caverns along the US Gulf Coast. It can be filled at a rate of 225,000 bbl/d for most storage sites. The United States will thus buy around 77 mbl of crude oil for an estimated US$2.6bn. The first 30 mbl will consist of both sweet crude (up to 11.3 mbl) and sour crude oil (up to 18.7 mbl), purchased from small and mid-sized US producers; deliveries are expected between 1 May ad 30 June 2020. A second round of purchases is expected in 60 to 90 days.
