据美国钻井网站2021年4月20日报道，美国能源部(DOE)4月19日透露，美国打算从战略石油储备(SPR)出售多达900万桶原油。
美国能源部周一在其网站上发布的一份声明指出，SPR含硫原油的“价格竞争”销售将在West Hackberry、Bryan Mound和Big Hill等三个储存点进行。据称，此次出售是为了满足2015年两党预算法案第404条款的要求，每个储存点最多将出售300万桶原油。
美国能源部表示，该部必须在4月27日美国中央时区上午10点之前收到报价，并将在5月6日之前将合同授予成功投标者。原油交付将在今年6月进行，最早的交货时间是5月。在SPR原油销售要约计划中注册的任何公司都有资格参与SPR原油出售。
美国能源部在其网站上强调，SPR是世界上最大的紧急原油供应源。据美国能源部说，美国联邦政府拥有的原油储存在德克萨斯州和路易斯安那州四个储存点的地下盐穴中，在飓风和地缘政治事件造成的紧急石油短缺时期，有保护经济和美国人生计的悠久历史。
3月，美国能源部透露，从2月份启动的SPR原油出售中获得了几份合同，共出售了1010万桶SPR原油。共有10家公司回应了出售通知，提交了60份报价。美国能源部最后授予了7家公司合同，分别是嘉能可有限公司、马拉松石油供应和贸易有限责任公司、莫蒂瓦企业有限责任公司、菲利普斯66公司、壳牌贸易(美国)公司、瓦莱罗营销和供应公司以及澳大利亚政府。
今年1月，美国能源部曾宣布计划在今的几个月时间内出售SPR的原油。

USA Selling up to 9MM Barrels from Reserve
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has revealed that it intends to sell up to nine million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
A statement posted on the DOE’s website on Monday outlined that the “price competitive” sale of SPR sour crude oil will be conducted from the West Hackberry, Bryan Mound, and Big Hill sites. The sale, which was said to be announced to fulfill requirements for Section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, will see up to three million barrels go from each site.
The DOE said it must receive bids by no later than 10am CDT on April 27 and that it will award contracts to successful offerors by no later than May 6. Deliveries will take place in June this year, with early deliveries available in May. Any company registered in the SPR’s crude oil sales offer program is eligible to participate in SPR crude oil sales.
The SPR is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, the DOE highlights on its website. Stored in underground salt caverns at four storage sites in Texas and Louisiana, the federally owned oil stocks have a long history of protecting the economy and American livelihoods in times of emergency oil shortages created by hurricanes and geopolitical events, according to the DOE.
Last month, the DOE revealed that several contracts had been awarded from an SPR sale launched in February, which was for 10.1 million barrels of SPR crude oil. A total of 10 companies responded to the notice of sale, submitting 60 bids for evaluation. The DOE awarded contracts to seven companies - Glencore Ltd., Marathon Petroleum Supply and Trading LLC, Motiva Enterprises LLC, Phillips 66 Company, Shell Trading (US) Company, Valero Marketing, and Supply Company - and the Government of Australia.
Back in January, the DOE announced that it planned to sell crude oil from the SPR over a multi-month period during 2021.
