據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)6月28日報道，據(jù)分析師周一表示，由于歐洲尋求美國原油以抵消受制裁的石油，本季度美國墨西哥灣沿岸的原油出口量可能達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的330萬桶/天。

由于美國決定從國家戰(zhàn)略石油儲備中釋放1.8億桶石油，這些石油涌入國內(nèi)市場，美國的出口在過去三個月里有所增長。

根據(jù)能源數(shù)據(jù)公司Kpler的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，本季度對歐洲的日均出口量預(yù)計為140萬桶，較去年同期增長約30%，而對亞洲的日出口量預(yù)計將降至100萬桶以下。

Kpler原油分析部門聯(lián)席主管Viktor Katona表示，4月份美國對歐洲原油日出口量為153萬桶，達(dá)到歷史第二高水平。

據(jù)雷斯塔能源分析師指出，美國煉油產(chǎn)能緊張也提振了出口。自2020年以來，美國的煉油能力已經(jīng)減少了近100萬桶/天。

雷斯塔能源頁巖研究主管阿特姆?阿布拉莫夫表示，政府為支持原油供應(yīng)而進(jìn)行的干預(yù)導(dǎo)致了出口的增加，這并不令人意外。

科珀斯克里斯蒂港的吞吐量增加了15萬桶/天，達(dá)到186萬桶/天。雷斯塔補(bǔ)充道，自去年第三季度以來，休斯敦港口的出口也一直在增長，但仍低于疫情前的水平。

據(jù)雷斯塔預(yù)計，2023年前三個月，原油出口量將繼續(xù)增長，接近400萬桶/天。

US Gulf Coast Crude Oil Exports to Hit Record High This Quarter

Exports of crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast could hit a record 3.3 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) this quarter, analysts said on Monday, as Europe chases U.S. crude to offset sanctioned oil.

U.S. exports have risen in the last three months, helped by Washington's decision to release 180 million barrels of oil from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which have flooded the domestic market.

Exports to Europe are expected to average about 1.4 MMbbl/d this quarter, about 30% higher than the year-ago quarter, while export to Asia is set to drop to under 1 MMbbl/d, according to energy data firm Kpler.

"The 1.53 million bbl/d of U.S. crude exports to Europe recorded in April is the second-highest reading on record," said Viktor Katona, co-head of crude analysis at Kpler. 

Tight U.S. refining capacity also boosted exports, Rystad Energy analysts noted. The United States has lost nearly 1 MMbbl/d of refining capacity since 2020.

"It's no surprise that government intervention to support crude supplies has resulted in an increase in exports," said Artem Abramov, head of shale research at Rystad Energy.

Throughput via the Port of Corpus Christi has increased by more than 150,000 bbl/d to reach 1.86 MMbbl/d. Port of Houston exports also have been rising since the third quarter of last year, but remain below pre-pandemic levels, Rystad added.

Crude exports will continue to grow and approach 4 MMbbl/d in the first three months of 2023, Rystad estimates.
