據今日油價8月11日報道，美國石油協會(API)周二報告稱，在截至8月6日的一周內，原油庫存減少了81.6萬桶，使2021年迄今的原油總產量達到近5600萬桶。

　　分析師此前預計本周將減少105萬桶。此前一周，API報告石油庫存減少87.9萬桶，遠低于分析師預測的近300萬桶。

　　在經歷周一油價大跌后，西德克薩斯中質原油(WTI)的價格在周二稍早上漲，因對Delta病毒對亞洲和美國石油需求影響的擔憂消退。周二下午，WTI在數據發布前上漲了3%以上。

　　美國東部時間下午4:03,WTI報每桶68.48美元，上漲2美元，但仍較上周同期下跌2美元。布倫特原油價格當天上漲2.51%，至每桶70.77美元，本周也下跌了近2美元。

　　盡管美國原油庫存繼續下降，但美國原油產量仍保持相對平穩，從年初的1100萬桶/天升至目前的1120萬桶/天，連續第二周保持在這個水平。

　　API報告稱，截至8月6日當周，汽油庫存減少111.4萬桶，而前一周為575.1萬桶。餾分油庫存本周增加了67.3萬桶，幾乎抵消了上周71.7萬桶的減幅。庫欣庫存繼上周增加65.9萬桶后，本周減少了41.3萬桶。

　　Oil Rises Despite Small Inventory Draws

　　The American Petroleum Institute (API) on Tuesday reported a draw in crude oil inventories of 816,000 barrels for the week ending August 6, bringing the total 2021 crude draw so far to nearly 56 million barrels, using API data.

　　Analysts had expected a loss of 1.050 million barrels for the week.

　　In the previous week, the API reported a draw in oil inventories of 879,000 barrels—a figure much smaller than the nearly 3 million barrel draw that analysts had predicted.

　　The price of a WTI barrel had risen earlier on Tuesday after a brutal Monday as fears of the Delta variant's effect on oil demand in Asia and the United States subsided.

　　WTI gained more than 3% on Tuesday afternoon leading up to the data release.

　　At 4:03 p.m. EST, WTI was trading at $68.48—a $2 per barrel gain on the day, but still a $2 loss from this time last week. Brent crude was trading up 2.51% for the day at $70.77—also down nearly $2 per barrel week on week.

　　While U.S. crude oil stocks continue to fall, U.S. oil production has remained on a fairly even keel that has risen from 11 million bpd at the start of the year to 11.2 million bpd now, where it sits for the second week in a row.

　　The API reported a draw in gasoline inventories of 1.114 million barrels for the week ending August 6—compared to the previous week's 5.751-million-barrel draw.

　　Distillate stocks saw an increase in inventories this week of 673,000 barrels for the week, nearly offsetting last week's 717,000-barrel decrease.

　　Cushing inventories fell this week by 413,000 barrels, after last week's 659,000-barrel increase.
