據美國油價網2022年8月31日報道，在美國能源信息署（EIA）公布在截至8月26日當周原油庫存減少330萬桶以后，今天原油價格小幅上漲。

目前美國的原油庫存為4.183億桶，比過去5年同期的平均水平低6%。截至8月26日的一周，這一數字比前一周減少330萬桶。 

美國燃料行業的情況則是喜憂參半。在汽油方面，EIA報告稱，截至8月26日的一周，汽油庫存減少了120萬桶。相比之下，前一周下降了460萬桶。上周平均汽油日產量為980萬桶，前一周為940萬桶。 

EIA估計，上周美國中間餾分油庫存略有增加10萬桶，而前一周增加70萬桶。上周中間餾分油平均日產量為490萬桶，而前一周為520萬桶。  

與此同時，美國柴油價格在兩個月來首次出現周上漲，反彈至每加侖5美元以上。過去5年，中間餾分油庫存比季節性平均水平低約五分之一。

本周早些時候，由于對供應的擔憂，原油價格小幅上漲，但在撰寫本文時出現了下跌。即使在美國石油學會（API）周二發布庫存報告后，布倫特原油交易價格仍為每桶96.70美元，西得克薩斯中質原油交易價格為每桶90.29美元。報告顯示，世界上最大的消費國對燃料的需求仍然強勁。  

API周二報告稱，截至8月26日的一周，汽油庫存減少340萬桶，餾分油庫存減少170萬桶。

Oil Prices Climb Higher On Larger Than Expected Crude Draw

Crude oil prices rose slightly today after the Energy Information Administration reported an inventory draw of 3.3 million barrels for the week to August 26.

At 418.3 million barrels, inventories are 6 percent below the five-year average for this time of the year.

The number for the week to August 26 compared with a draw of 3.3 million barrels for the previous week.

The picture in fuels was mixed.

In gasoline, the EIA reported an inventory decline of 1.2 million barrels for the week to August 26. This compared with a decline of 4.6 million barrels for the previous week.

Gasoline production last week averaged 9.8 million barrels daily, which compared with 9.4 million bpd for the previous week.

In middle distillates, the EIA estimated a modest inventory build of 100,000 barrels for last week, which compared with a 700,000-barrel draw for the previous week.

Middle distillate production averaged 4.9 million barrels daily last week, which compared with 5.2 million bpd for the previous week.

Meanwhile, diesel prices in the U.S. rebounded above $5 per gallon in the first weekly price increase in two months. Middle distillate inventories are about a fifth below the seasonal average for the last five years.

Crude oil was down at the time of writing, after inching up earlier this week on supply concerns. Brent crude was trading at $96.70 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate was at $90.29, even after the API’s inventory report released Tuesday, which suggested demand for fuels in the world’s largest consumer remained robust.

The American Petroleum Institute reported on Tuesday that gasoline inventories had declined by 3.4 million barrels in the week to August 26, with distillate stocks down by 1.7 million barrels.
