美国2月石油净出口量创历史新高

据今日油价3月6日消息，美国上月成原油和石油产品的净出口国，在2月最后一周，四周平均净进口- 907000桶/天，根据美国能源情报署(EIA)的每周原油和石油产品净进口数据，这是自1973年来，EIA数据中最低的“进口”水平。

EIA数据显示，自2020年初以来，美国在1月和2月的每一周都是原油和石油产品的净出口国。

EIA去年年底表示，美国出口的原油和石油产品超过了其在2019年9月的进口量，这是自1973年有月度记录以来美国第一次成为石油净出口国。

EIA在2019年12月表示，由于美国原油产量激增和2015年出口限制的解除，以及石油产品产量和出口量的持续增长，美国在2019年9月的原油和石油产品出口量比进口量多8.9万桶/天。

EIA在今年1月发布的《2020年度能源展望》中称，由于产量持续增长，加上国内需求疲软，美国今年将成为石油和石油产品净出口国。

尽管拥有“石油净出口国”的地位，但美国仍是一个原油净进口国，其原油进口量仍高于出口量。

EIA上月表示，根据最新月度数据，2019年11月，美国原油进口量为580万桶/天，出口量为300万桶/天。

此外，EIA指出，尽管目前美国从整体来看是一个石油净出口国，但除美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区外，其他大部分地区仍是石油净进口地区。

U.S. Net Petroleum Exports Hit Highest Ever In February

The United States was a net exporter of crude oil and petroleum products last month, with the four-week average net imports at a negative 907,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the last week of February, the lowest ‘imports’ level in EIA data dating back to 1973, according to EIA’s weekly data on net imports of crude oil and petroleum products.

Since the start of 2020, the U.S. was a net exporter of crude and petroleum products in each of the weeks in January and February, EIA data shows.

The United States exported more crude oil and petroleum products than it imported in September 2019—the firstmonth in which America was a net petroleum exporter since monthly records began in 1973, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said at the end of last year.

In September 2019, the U.S. exported 89,000 bpd more crude oil and petroleum products than it imported, due to surging U.S. crude oil production and the lifting of export restrictions in 2015, and to continuously growing oil products output and exports, the EIA said in December 2019.

On an annual basis, the United States will become a net oil and oil product exporter this year, thanks to continued growth in production combined with slacker domestic demand, the EIA said in its 2020 Annual Energy Outlook in January.

Despite the ‘net petroleum exporter’ status, the U.S. continues to be a net importer of crude oil—it continues to import more volumes of crude oil than it exports.

In November 2019, the latest monthly data, America imported 5.8 million bpd of crude oil and exported 3.0 million bpd of crude, the EIA said last month.

Moreover, despite the fact that the United States is now a net petroleum exporter as a whole, most regions other than the U.S. Gulf Coast region remain net petroleum importers, the EIA noted.
