沙特石油正在挤占加拿大石油在美国市场份额

据道琼斯3月26日消息，美国能源情报署(EIA)最新数据显示，随着美国从沙特阿拉伯进口更多原油，加拿大石油生产商正在蒙受损失。EIA称，在截至3月20日的一周里，美国每天从加拿大进口340万桶原油，较前一周的380万桶减少了12%。另一方面，美国从沙特阿拉伯进口的原油量大幅增加42%，从42.5万桶/日增加至60.4万桶/日。EIA在3月19日的一份报告中称，直到最近，加拿大一直在从其他出口国手中夺取美国的市场份额，尽管美国进口原油总量下降了。自2009年以来，美国国内炼油厂对加拿大原油的使用几乎每年都在增加，但从沙特阿拉伯、墨西哥进口的原油却普遍减少。如果沙特阿拉伯的目标是从价格战中获得市场份额，那么早期迹象表明，加拿大可能已经开始受到影响。

Saudi Oil Pushing out Canadian Crude in U.S.

Canadian oil producers are losing as the U.S. imports more crude from Saudi Arabia, according to the latest U.S. Energy Information Administration data. The U.S. imported 3.4M barrels a day of Canadian crude for the week ending Mar. 20, says EIA, a 12% drop from the prior week's 3.8M barrels. Saudi imports, on the other hand, jumped 42% to 604,000 barrels a day from 425,000. Up until recently, Canada had been taking market share from other importers to the U.S., even while total imports fell, EIA said in a March 19 note. "Domestic refineries' use of crude oil from Canada has increased in nearly every year since 2009, but imports from Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Venezuela have generally decreased." If Saudi Arabia was aiming to gain market share from its price war, early indications are Canada may already be starting to suffer.
