据今日油价网站2月18日消息 美国能源信息署（EIA）公布称，截至2月12日的一周内，美国原油库存减少730万桶，原油价格大幅上涨。
而EIA估计，前一周的库存下降550万桶。
美国石油协会（API）前一天公布称，截至2月12日的一周原油库存下降580万桶。
分析师此前预计，报告期内库存将减少217.5万桶。
EIA还报告称，上周汽油库存增加70万桶，前一周增加430万桶。平均产量为900万桶/日，而一周前为870万桶/日。
本周和下周，由于德克萨斯州的冻结导致炼油厂停产，汽油库存可能会进一步大幅减少。据业内人士估计，由于停电和冰冻，有300多万桶/日的炼油产能处于停产状态。
中间馏分油方面，EIA报告上周库存减少340万桶，而前一周的库存减少170万桶。
上周馏分油平均产量为460万桶/日，低于一周前的470万桶/日。
和汽油一样，蒸馏油也可能在本周和下周出现重大消耗，因为一旦德克萨斯州电力供应恢复，炼油厂需要时间才能恢复正常运营。
据彭博社本周早些时候援引的交易员和业内人士估计，布伦特原油交易价格为每桶64.06美元，西德克萨斯中质原油交易价格为每桶60.85美元，这两种价格均因德克萨斯州冻结令美国石油总产量大幅削减40%而走高。
价格可能会进一步上涨，因为即使在德州寒流结束，本季气温恢复正常后，恢复正常生产率仍需要一段时间。

Oil Prices Jump Above $61 On Major Crude Draw
Crude oil prices jumped higher after the Energy Information Administration reported crude oil inventories in the U.S. had shed 7.3 million barrels in the week to February 12.
This compared with an inventory draw of 5.5 million barrels for the previous week, as estimated by the EIA.
The American Petroleum Institute had a day earlier seen crude oil inventories down 5.8 million barrels for the week to February 12.
Analysts had expected an inventory draw of 2.175 million barrels for the reporting period.
The EIA also reported a build in gasoline stocks for last week, at 700,000 barrels. This compared with a build of 4.3 million barrels for the previous week. Production averaged 9 million bpd, compared with 8.7 million bpd a week earlier.
This week and next will likely see further hefty gasoline inventory draws due to the refinery outages caused by the Texas freeze. According to industry estimates, more than 3 million bpd in refining capacity is off because of power outages and freezing.
In middle distillates, the EIA reported an inventory decline of 3.4 million barrels for last week, which compared with a draw of 1.7 million barrels for the previous week.
Distillate production averaged 4.6 million bpd last week, down from 4.7 million bpd a week earlier.
Like gasoline, distillates are also likely to see major draws this week and next as refineries take time to return to normal operation once power supply recovers in Texas.
Brent crude was trading at $64.06 a barrel at the time of writing, and Wet Texas Intermediate was changing hands at $60.85 a barrel, both pushed higher by the Texas freeze that slashed total U.S. oil production by as much as 40 percent, according to trader and industry estimated cited by Bloomberg earlier this week.
Prices may go further still as the resumption of normal production rates will take a while even after the cold spell in Texas ends and temperatures return to normal for this season.
