上半年美国石油出口有所增加

据阿纳多卢新闻9月20日消息称，美国能源信息署（EIA）周三表示，美国原油出口在2020年2月创下历史新高之后，今年上半年美国的原油出口与去年同期相比有所增加。

EIA数据显示，今年2月，美国原油出口量达到创纪录的370万桶/天，3月下降15.1万桶/天，至360万桶/天，4月下降48万桶/天，至310万桶/天。

根据该机构的数据，5月份，出口继续下滑，先是降至290万桶/天，比2019年5月的水平低3万桶/天，然后在6月份降至280万桶/天，比2019年6月的水平低34.7万桶/天。

然而，EIA数据显示，尽管最近有所下降，但2020年上半年美国原油平均出口量为320万桶/天，高于2019年上半年的290万桶/天。

EIA称，2020年上半年美国原油进口量远低于2019年同期水平。

数据显示，2020年上半年，美国原油进口量平均为620万桶/天，与2019年上半年相比下降85.5万桶/天，降幅12%。

不过，该机构表示，4月份进口大幅下降，5月份和6月份出现增长。

US oil exports up in first half of 2020

Crude oil exports in the US increased in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, after a record-high increase in February 2020, according to the country's Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday.

US crude oil exports reached record high levels of 3.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) in February this year, and declined by 151,000 barrels per day in March to 3.6 mb/d and then by a record 480,000 barrels per day to 3.1 million b/d in April, the EIA data showed.

In May, exports continued to decline, first falling to 2.9 mb/d, or 30,000 barrels per day lower than the May 2019 level, and then to 2.8 mb/d in June -347,000 barrels per day lower than the June 2019 level, according to the agency.

However, despite the recent declines, US crude oil exports averaged 3.2 mb/d in the first half of 2020, up from 2.9 mb/d in the first half of 2019, the EIA data showed.

US crude oil imports in the first half of 2020 were much lower than levels seen during the same period of 2019, the EIA said.

The US imported an average of 6.2 mb/d of crude oil in the first half of 2020, down 855,000 barrels per day, or 12%, compared with the first half of 2019, according to the data.

However, the agency said monthly imports declined sharply in April before increasing in May and June.
