美國能源部長周五表示，美國目前沒有考慮禁止或限制石油產(chǎn)品出口。

周五上午早些時(shí)候，WTI價(jià)格跌至每桶80美元以下，即便美國的產(chǎn)品庫存繼續(xù)下降，但采取此類舉措的壓力正在降溫。

在截至9月16日的一周內(nèi)，美國的汽車汽油庫存總量又下降了160萬桶，目前比今年這個(gè)時(shí)候的五年平均水平低5%。包括柴油在內(nèi)的餾分庫存本周有所增加，但比五年平均水平低18%。

近幾個(gè)月來，汽油價(jià)格呈下降趨勢，但美國汽車協(xié)會(huì)（AAA）的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，周五，全國普通汽油平均價(jià)格從周四的3.684美元升至3.689美元。

上個(gè)月，能源部長警告美國煉油廠，如果他們未能建立原油產(chǎn)品庫存，政府將被迫采取緊急措施或額外的聯(lián)邦要求，以解決燃料出口問題，東北地區(qū)的汽油和餾分油庫存處于較低水平。與此同時(shí)，美國精煉產(chǎn)品出口異常高。

她解釋說，這些緊急行動(dòng)可以通過優(yōu)先建立精煉產(chǎn)品庫存來避免，而這只有通過精煉商自我調(diào)節(jié)向美國以外的買家供應(yīng)產(chǎn)品才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。

自那時(shí)以來，美國的汽油庫存總量實(shí)際上減少了100萬桶。另一方面，根據(jù)EIA每周石油狀況庫存數(shù)據(jù)的油價(jià)分析，餾分庫存增加了570萬桶。

U.S. Is Not Considering Curb On Oil Product Exports

The United States is not currently considering a ban or restrictions on oil products exports, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said on Friday.

With WTI falling below $80 per barrel earlier on Friday morning, the pressure for such moves is cooling, even as product inventories in the United States continue to fall.

Total motor gasoline inventories in the United States fell another 1.6 million barrels during the week ending September 16, and now sit 5% below the five-year average this time of year. Distillate inventories—which include diesel fuel—rose during the week, but are 18% below the five-year average.

Gasoline prices have trended down in recent months, although the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline rose on Friday to $3.689, according to AAA, up from $3.684 on Thursday.

Last month, the Energy Secretary warned U.S. refiners that if they failed to build inventories of crude oil products, the government would be forced to employ emergency measures or additional federal requirements to address fuel exports, with gasoline and distillate inventories at low levels in the Northeast region. Meanwhile, U.S. refined products exports were exceptionally high.

Those emergency actions could be avoided, Granholm explained, by prioritizing a buildup of refined product inventories—something that only could be achieved by refiners self-regulating how much product is supplied to buyers outside the United States.

Since that time, total gasoline inventories in the United States have actually fallen by 1 million barrels. Distillate inventories, on the other hand, have risen by 5.7 million barrels, according to an Oilprice analysis of EIA Weekly Petroleum Status inventory data.
