美國從戰(zhàn)略石油儲備中出售1000萬桶石油

據(jù)今日油價網(wǎng)站3月8日消息 美國能源部授予了從戰(zhàn)略石油儲備（SPR）出售1010萬桶原油的合同，作為最近國會指示的SPR原油銷售的一部分。

能源部化石能源辦公室于2021年2月初發(fā)布了一份來自SPR的銷售通知，以滿足2021財年強制銷售1010萬桶的要求。美國能源部上月表示，出售所得將在本財年結(jié)束前存入美國財政部。

上周，能源部授予了嘉能可有限公司、馬拉松石油供應(yīng)和貿(mào)易有限責(zé)任公司、莫蒂瓦企業(yè)有限責(zé)任公司、菲利普斯66公司、殼牌貿(mào)易（美國）公司、瓦萊羅營銷和供應(yīng)公司以及澳大利亞政府競價出售的合同。在投標(biāo)期間，共有10家公司對能源部的銷售通知作出了答復(fù)，提交了60份投標(biāo)書供評估。

在總計1010萬桶原油中，將有410萬桶來自德克薩斯州自由港附近的布萊恩丘油田；330萬桶來自路易斯安那州哈克貝利附近的西哈克貝利油田；270萬桶來自德克薩斯州溫尼附近的大山油田。

SPR將安排在今年4月和5月交貨，可能于2021年3月提前交貨。

美國戰(zhàn)略石油儲備建立于上世紀(jì)70年代，當(dāng)時石油禁運在美國造成了燃料危機。截至2021年2月26日，SPR持有6.378億桶原油。

去年3月，疫情使得油價暴跌，沙特-俄羅斯打破歐佩克+條約，據(jù)說美國準(zhǔn)備為SPR購買7700萬桶原油，以低價石油補充SPR，同時為當(dāng)?shù)厥托袠I(yè)提供一些急需的支撐。

U.S. Sells 10 Million Barrels Of Oil From Strategic Petroleum Reserve

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded contracts for the sale of 10.1 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) as part of a recent Congressionally-directed SPR crude oil sale.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy issued in early February 2021 a notice of sale from the SPR to fulfill the requirements of a mandatory sale of 10.1 million barrels during the fiscal year 2021. The proceeds of the sale will be deposited in the U.S. Treasury by the end of the fiscal year, DOE said last month.

Last week, DOE awarded contracts Glencore Ltd, Marathon Petroleum Supply and Trading LLC, Motiva Enterprises LLC, Phillips 66 Company, Shell Trading (US) Company, Valero Marketing and Supply Company, and the Government of Australia in the price-competitive sale. During the period for submitting bids, a total of 10 companies had responded to DOE’s notice of sale, filing 60 bids for evaluation.

Out of the total 10.1 million barrels of crude oil, 4.1 million barrels will be sold from the Bryan Mound site near Freeport, Texas; 3.3 million barrels from the West Hackberry site near Hackberry, Louisiana; and 2.7 million barrels from the Big Hill site near Winnie, Texas.

The SPR will schedule deliveries to take place in April and May this year, with early deliveries available in March 2021.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve was set up in the 1970s when the oil embargo created a fuel crisis in the United States. As of February 26, 2021, the SPR held 637.8 million barrels of crude oil.

Last year in March, when oil prices collapsed at the start of the pandemic and the Saudi-Russia break-up of the OPEC+ pact, the United States was said to be preparing to buy 77 million barrels of crude oil for the SPR to replenish the SPR with low-priced oil while providing some much-needed support for the local oil industry.
