6月份美国原油出口量创下每日330万桶的历史新高

据钻机地带7月19日消息，6月份美国原油出口量创下每日330万桶的历史新高。

这是根据美国石油协会(API)周四发布的最新月度统计报告得出的结论。该报告强调，创纪录的石油出口帮助美国将石油净进口量减少至130万桶/天。

据该报告称，美国6月石油日出口量为840万桶，达到了创纪录水平。这比去年5月和6月分别增长了3.6%和7.9%。

报告显示，美国6月份原油日产量达到创纪录的1220万桶，“尽管钻探活动减少”。

API首席经济学家Dean Foreman在一份组织声明中表示：“按照美国能源信息署(EIA)的预测，美国在2020年成为能源净出口国的道路上似乎正在取得实质性进展，尽管油价在5月至6月期间下跌了10%，但美国的石油产量仍在继续攀升。”

Dean Foreman补充道：“这一趋势在一定程度上是由盈亏平衡价格越来越低、关键生产地区生产力的强劲增长，以及将这些资源推向市场所需的新增管道基础设施所推动的。”

早在6月份，API就透露，5月份美国石油出口和原油产量均创下历史新高。API在6月份发布的第二季度行业展望报告中表示，美国将继续保持创纪录的石油产量。该报告还强调，尽管美国原油出口能力已经“足够”，但一些产能估计显示“提前计划的紧迫性”。

US Oil Exports Reach New All-Time High

U.S. crude oil exports reached a new all-time high of 3.3 million barrels per day (MMbpd) in June.

That’s according to the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) latest monthly statistical report released Thursday, which highlighted that the record exports helped reduce U.S. net petroleum imports to 1.3MMbpd.

Total U.S. petroleum exports for the month were at 8.4MMbpd, according to the report, which noted that this was a record for June. This was said to be an increase of 3.6 percent from May and 7.9 percent from June last year.

Record U.S. crude oil production of 12.2 MMbpd was sustained in June “despite less drilling”, according to the report.

“The U.S. appears to be making substantive progress towards becoming a net energy exporter in 2020, as projected by the EIA, with production continuing to sustain its upward climb despite oil prices having declined 10 percent between May and June,” API Chief Economist Dean Foreman said in an organization statement.

“This trend has been driven in part by increasingly low breakeven prices, strong productivity gains in key production regions and the incremental additions of new pipeline infrastructure needed to bring these resources to market,” he added.

Back in June, the API revealed that in May, U.S. petroleum exports and crude oil production saw records. In its second quarter industry outlook report, also released in June, the API said the United States was poised for a continuation of record oil production. This report also highlighted that while U.S. crude oil export capacity has been “sufficient”, some capacity estimates suggest “some urgency to plan forward”.
