據油價網6月9日消息,美國周二公布的貿易數據顯示,美國4月原油出口躍升至每日323.6萬桶,高于3月的每日261.5萬桶,為今年迄今最高的原油出口數據。
2021年1月,美國原油出口量也超過300萬桶/天,達到307.5萬桶/天。然而,數據顯示,4月份的出口價值遠遠高于1月份的出口價值,因為每桶平均價格從今年1月份的49.11美元躍升至4月份的58.87美元。
2月和3月,美國原油出口量均為約260萬桶/天,這也是由于2月中旬的冬季暴風雪導致美國原油產量暴跌40%,其中最顯著的是產油大州得克薩斯州。
美國普查局首先公布貿易數據,美國能源情報署(EIA)則根據貿易數據得出月度出口數據,并在月末前后公布。
EIA第一季度數據顯示,美國原油出口量略高于美國普查局的數據,預計1月份的出貨量為每日316.5萬桶,2月和3月的出口量約為每日270萬桶。
今年1月,受亞洲煉油商強勁需求的推動,美國唯一深水港路易斯安那近海石油港的原油出口較去年12月翻了一番,創下歷史新高。
根據EIA的數據,去年美國原油日出口量為318萬桶。主要經濟體的重新開放和全球原油需求的預期增長可能會推動美國今年的出口。
美國的石油生產商向很多國家出售原油,主要是亞洲國家。亞洲是輕質低硫原油的天然市場,這類產品在美國的產量中占主導地位。歐洲是美國去年的另一大石油客戶,由于當地輕質原油產量下降,英國、法國、德國和荷蘭總共吸收了71.9萬桶/天的美國原油。

U.S. Crude Oil Exports Jump To Highest Level This Year
U.S. crude oil exports jumped to 3.236 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, up from 2.615 million bpd in March, and the highest crude export figure so far this year, according to trade data from the U.S. Census Bureau published on Tuesday.
In January 2021, U.S. crude oil exports also exceeded 3 million bpd, at 3.075 million bpd. Yet, the value of the exports in April was considerably higher than the value of those in January, as the average price per barrel jumped from $49.11 in the first month of the year to $58.87 in April, the data showed.
Exports were around 2.6 million bpd in each of February and March, also because of the winter storms in mid-February, which resulted in a 40-percent slump in U.S. crude oil production, most notably in the top oil-producing state, Texas.
The U.S. Census Bureau reports first the trade data, on which the Energy Information Administration (EIA) bases its monthly export figures and reports them around the end of the month.
EIA data for Q1 shows slightly higher U.S. crude oil exports than Census Bureau data, estimating January shipments at 3.165 million bpd, and February and March exports at around 2.7 million bpd.
In January this year, crude oil exports from the only deep-water port in the United States, Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, doubled from December to a record high, driven by robust demand from Asian refiners.
Last year, U.S. exports of crude oil stood at 3.18 million bpd, according to EIA data. The re-opening of major economies and the expected increase in global crude oil demand could boost American exports this year.
U.S. oil producers are selling crude to a lot of countries, mainly in Asia. Asia is a natural market for the light, sweet grades that dominate U.S. output. Asia was the first region to start recovering from the pandemic, which helped exports. Europe was the other large oil client of the United States last year, with the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands taking in a combined 719,000 bpd of U.S. crude as production of local light grades declined.
