據油氣新聞網3月17日報道，美國能源部周三表示，其已授予從美國戰略石油儲備中出售3000萬桶原油的合同。

該部門在一份聲明中表示，共有13家公司提交了109份評標申請，其中7家公司獲得了合同。

其中馬拉松石油公司1606萬桶，雪佛龍公司127萬桶，Motiva企業255萬桶，菲利普斯66公司420萬桶，瓦萊羅營銷和供應公司475萬桶。

其補充稱，此次出售是與國際能源署(IEA) 30個成員國協調行動的一部分，旨在從戰略石油儲備中共同釋放最初的6000萬桶石油。

本月早些時候，美國和國際能源署的其他成員國同意釋放6000萬桶石油儲備，以補償地緣政治沖突后的供應中斷。

去年11月，美國還宣布從美國戰略石油儲備中釋放5000萬桶石油，稱此舉是為了降低高油價。

US awards contracts for 30m barrels from Strategic Reserve 

The US Energy Department said on Wednesday it has awarded contracts for 30 million barrels of crude oil put up for sale from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve .

A total of 13 companies submitted 109 bids for evaluation, and contracts were awarded to seven companies, the department said in a statement.

They included 16.06 million barrels to Marathon Petroleum, 1.27 million barrels to Chevron Corp, 2.55 million barrels to Motiva Enterprises, 4.2 million barrels to Phillips 66, and 4.75 million barrels to Valero Marketing and Supply.

The sale was part of a coordinated action with 30 member countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA) to collectively release an initial 60 million barrels of oil from strategic petroleum reserves, it added.

Earlier this month, the United States and other member states of the IEA agreed to release the 60 million barrels of oil reserves to compensate for supply disruptions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The United States had also announced a release of 50 million barrels from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve last November, a move it said was to bring down high oil prices.
