据钻机地带5月11日消息，油价上涨，因美元走软提供了支撑，并抵消了美国墨西哥湾沿岸迅速增长的原油储备，原因是该地区的炼油商因美国最大燃油管道运营商科洛尼尔管道运输公司(Colonial Pipeline)关闭而削减了运营。
周二，纽约原油期货价格上涨不到1%。美元持续走软，使得以美元计价的大宗商品更具吸引力。
Colonial Pipeline正在努力重新启动其美国最大的石油产品系统，此前一次网络攻击导致其业务关闭。虽然从阿拉巴马州到弗吉尼亚州的加油站都出现了短缺，但美国海湾地区的炼油厂正在减少产量，以避免在没有管道输送的情况下出现供应过剩。一些炼油商已经租用船只在海上储存精炼产品。
瑞穗证券(Mizuho Securities)期货部门主管鲍勃•雅威格表示:“美元指数走低解释了油价的小幅上涨。”他表示，美元疲软可能挽救了原油市场，此前原油市场面临压力，因为炼油商被迫储存无法输送到管道的原油。
尽管受到新冠疫情引起的需求担忧（尤其是在印度），限制了一定的涨势，本月迄今为止，美国原油价格仍上涨了2.7％。然而，欧佩克周二仍然上调了原油产量预估，该组织目前预计美国今年的原油供应将小幅下降，主要原因是2月份德克萨斯州的冰冻气候造成的影响。
咨询公司雷斯塔能源分析师路易丝·迪克森表示，交易员们预计Colonial Pipeline关闭的问题会逐步得到解决。市场再次关注亚洲、新冠病例以及石油需求前景的下一个信号。
价格:
纽约市场6月交割的WTI原油价格上涨36美分，收于每桶65.28美元
布伦特原油7月份结算价上涨23美分，收于每桶68.55美元
美国汽油期货上涨0.3%，收于每加仑2.1399美元
与此同时，colonial遭“黑”的冲击正在波及从炼油到航运的方方面面。在加工企业方面，道达尔缩减了位于德克萨斯州阿瑟港炼油厂的一个关键部门的活动，Citgo 石油也削减了位于路易斯安那州查尔斯湖的工厂的费用。由于交易商试图解决因停运造成的供应不平衡问题，因此争相预订油轮。
基尔达夫说:“我们远未脱离colonial被攻击的困境。消费者越来越有可能感到恐慌，加油站拥挤可能会更广泛地出现，尤其是如果到本周末还没有解决方案的话。”
FGE的数据显示，由于Colonial Pipeline关闭，美国东海岸已经损失了约360万桶汽油供应，而该地区每天的损失还将增加120万桶。
根据彭博社的一项调查，美国原油供应上周预计有所下降。美国石油学会(API)将于周二晚些时候公布其供应数据，而政府数据将于周三公布。

Light Crude Ends Session Above $65
Oil rose as a weaker dollar lent support and offset a burgeoning pile up of crude in the U.S. Gulf Coast as refineries there cut runs in response to the Colonial Pipeline shutdown.
Crude futures in New York rose less than 1% Tuesday. The dollar has traded steadily weaker, making commodities priced in the currency more attractive.
Colonial Pipeline Co. is working to restart its oil-products system, the largest in the U.S., after a cyberattack shuttered operations. While gasoline stations from Alabama to Virgina report shortages, refiners in the U.S. Gulf are reducing output to avoid a glut in the absence of the pipeline. Some refiners have already chartered ships to store refined products offshore.
“The dollar index trading lower explains the slight increase in oil prices,” said Bob Yawger, head of the futures division at Mizuho Securities. The weak dollar may have saved the day for crude oil, which was facing pressure from refiners being forced to store barrels they can’t feed into the pipeline, he said.
U.S. crude oil prices are up 2.7% so far this month even with coronavirus-induced demand concerns, particularly in India, limiting rallies. Still, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Tuesday lifted its forecast for the amount of crude it will need to produce and the group now sees a small decline in U.S. supplies this year, mostly due to the Texas freeze in February.
Traders are expecting “a gradual resolution to the Colonial Pipeline shutdown,” according to Louise Dickson, an analyst at consultant Rystad Energy. “The market is again looking to Asia, Covid-19 cases, and the next signals for oil demand outlook.”
Prices:
West Texas Intermediate for June delivery rose 36 cents to settle at $65.28 a barrel in New York
Brent for July settlement gained 23 cents to end the session at $68.55 a barrel
U.S. gasoline futures rose 0.3% to settle at $2.1399 a gallon
Meanwhile, the knock on impact of the Colonial disruption is rippling through to everything from refining to shipping. Among processors, Total SE scaled back activity in a key unit at its Port Arthur, Texas, refinery, and Citgo Petroleum Corp. also cut rates at its Lake Charles, Louisiana, plant. There’s been a rush to book oil tankers as traders seek to redress the supply imbalance caused by the stoppage.
“We are far from out of the out of the woods with the Colonial situation,” said Kilduff. “A scare among consumers is increasingly likely, where a run on gas stations may develop more broadly, especially if there is no resolution by the end of the week.”
The U.S. East Coast has lost about 3.6 million barrels of gasoline supply due to the Colonial Pipeline disruption, with the region losing an additional 1.2 million barrels each day the outage continues, according to FGE.
In the U.S., crude supplies are expected to have dropped last week, according to a Bloomberg survey. The industry-funded American Petroleum Institute will report its supply tally later Tuesday, while government data will be released on Wednesday.
