美国2-6月原油出口从创纪录高位继续下滑

据油价网2020年9月22日休斯敦报道，美国能源信息署(EIA)22日公布的统计数据显示，全球石油和燃料需求的下降推动美国2月至6月原油出口从每日370万桶的创纪录高位继续下滑。

根据EIA统计数据，美国6月份原油出口量从2月的平均每日370.8万桶降至每日275.3万桶。

尽管在全球为遏制新冠病毒疫情蔓延而实施的封锁期间，美国的原油出口有所下降，但美国今年上半年的原油出口量仍高于2019年上半年。

统计数据显示，美国今年上半年的原油进口量与去年同期相比也有所下降，在沙特阿拉伯4月份向市场输送创纪录水平的原油以后，美国5、6月份的原油进口量出现了激增。

EIA估计，今年上半年全球石油日需求量从去年上半年的1070亿桶下降到了平均9000万桶。EIA的统计数据显示，自2月以来，全球原油及石油产品需求大幅下降，导致美国原油出口持续下滑。

U.S. Oil Exports Continue To Decline

Declining global oil and fuel demand in the pandemic pushed U.S. crude oil exports down from their record-high of 3.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in February in each month through June, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Tuesday.

U.S. exports of crude oil fell from 3.708 million bpd in February to 2.753 million bpd in June, according to EIA data.

Despite the export decline during the global lockdowns to curb the spread of the coronavirus, U.S. crude oil exports in the first half of 2020 were still higher than they were in the first half of 2019.

U.S. crude oil imports in the first half of 2020 were also down compared to year-ago levels, despite the fact that imports surged in May and June after Saudi Arabia shipped record levels of crude to the market in April.

In the first half of 2020, global oil demand slumped to average to 90.0 million bpd, down from 100.7 million barrels bpd in the first half of 2019, the EIA has estimated. Significantly lower demand for crude oil and petroleum products has resulted in declining U.S. crude oil exports since February, EIA data showed.
