???? 據(jù)彭博社2月26日消息：由于大流行抑制了全球石油需求，美國(guó)原油產(chǎn)量在2020年出現(xiàn)四年來的首次下降。

????根據(jù)美國(guó)能源信息署的數(shù)據(jù)，去年美國(guó)原油日產(chǎn)量平均為1131.3萬桶，較上年下降近8%。這是自2018年以來的最低產(chǎn)量，也是自1949年以來的最大同比降幅。

????疫情危機(jī)削減了對(duì)原油衍生的汽油，柴油和噴氣燃料的需求后，鉆井工人在全國(guó)各地的油田閑置了鉆井平臺(tái)。 在去年四月市場(chǎng)危機(jī)高峰期，西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油期貨收于每桶-37.63美元，這是該商品歷史上首次收于零下方。

????U.S. Crude Output Fell for the First Time Last Year Since 2016

????U.S. crude production dropped for the first time in four years in 2020 as the pandemic crushed global oil demand.

????American crude output averaged 11.313 million barrels a day last year, down nearly 8% from the year prior, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration. That’s the lowest production rate since 2018 and it marked the biggest year-over-year percentage decline since 1949.

????Drillers laid down rigs in oil fields across the country after the heath crisis sapped demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel derived from crude. At the peak of the market crisis in April, West Texas Intermediate futures settled at -$37.63 a barrel, marking the first time in history the commodity closed below zero.
