據ICIS-MRC網站12月15日莫斯科報道，根據EIA每周的石油狀況報告顯示，11月26日，美國航空燃油庫存處于2014年末以來的最低水平。與今年夏季相比，煉油廠10月份的航空燃油產量減少，自8月份以來，航空燃油需求已上升至接近疫情前的水平。根據烴加工網信息顯示，需求的增加和產量的減少導致了庫存的下降。

2021年夏季航空燃油庫存高企，是因為在汽油和餾分油市場需求高的時期，煉油廠產量增加。這種高需求促使煉油商加工更多的原油，而航空燃料是原油精煉的副產品。8月份墨西哥灣沿岸的颶風導致煉油廠暫時停產，并導致產量下降，使航空燃油庫存降至正常的季節性水平。截至9月3日結束的當周，航空燃油總庫存低于此前五年平均水平。

自疫情爆發以來，航空燃料需求(以產品供應衡量)遠低于2019年的平均水平174萬桶/天。根據每周石油狀況報告，自8月中旬以來的大多數星期，航空燃油消耗都在2019年水平的20%以內。相比之下，2020 年11月，美國航空燃油日均需求為113萬桶，約為2019年平均值的三分之二。

Reduced production and stronger demand lead to lower US jet fuel inventories

On November 26, US jet fuel inventories were at their lowest level since late 2014, according to the EIA's weekly petroleum status report. Refineries produced less jet fuel in October compared with this summer, and since August, jet fuel demand has increased to near pre-pandemic levels. This increased demand, along with reduced production, has caused inventories to decline, according to Hydrocarbonprocessing.

High jet fuel inventories in summer 2021 were the result of increased refinery production during a period of high market demand for gasoline and distillate. This high demand encouraged refiners to process more crude oil, and jet fuel is a byproduct of crude oil refining. Hurricanes along the Gulf Coast in August contributed to temporary refinery outages and reduced production, which brought jet fuel inventories to more normal seasonal levels. For the week ending September 3, total jet fuel inventory fell below its previous five-year average.

Jet fuel demand (measured as product supplied) has been well below its 2019 average of 1.74 MMbpd since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In most weeks since mid-August, jet fuel consumption has been within 20% of 2019 levels, according to the weekly petroleum status report. By comparison, in November 2020, US jet fuel demand averaged 1.13 MMbpd, or about two-thirds of its 2019 average value.
