据Oil & Gas Journal网站5月18日消息 美国能源信息署（EIA）数据显示，由于colonial输油管道运营中断，5月17日美国普通汽油平均零售价升至3.03美元/加仑，这是自2014年10月27日以来汽油零售价首次平均超过3美元/加仑。Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C)地区汽油平均零售价格比上周的2.88美元/加仑上涨了10美分。
Lower Atlantic汽油零售价格上涨的原因是，许多地区加油站发生了中断，主要由于管道中断阻碍了供应，并因加油站中断而增加了汽油采购。5月17日，新英格兰（PADD 1A）和Central Atlantic (PADD 1B)地区的汽油零售价格平均分别为2.93美元/加仑和3.04美元/加仑，分别上涨了6美分和5美分。The Midwest (PADD 2)和墨西哥湾沿岸(PADD 3)汽油零售价格平均分别为2.91美元/加仑和2.78美元/加仑，分别上涨5美分和11美分。
在5月7日星期五关闭之后，colonial管道于5月12日星期三重启了部分管道运营。5月15日该公司表示，该系统已恢复正常运行。通过colonial输油管道的运输速度约为每小时5英里，因此一些市场可能需要依赖地区库存，直到燃料能够通过colonial输油管道。
EIA最近的每周石油状况报告（WPSR）包括截至5月7日东海岸及其次区域的每周区域期末库存数据，其中包括管道关闭前的汽油库存。5月7日，Lower Atlantic地区的车用汽油库存总量为2460万桶，比5年平均水平低7%。新英格兰和Central Atlantic的车用汽油库存合计为4000万桶，约等于5年平均水平。

Average US retail gasoline price exceeds $3/gal for first time since late 2014
Disruptions to Colonial Pipeline operations prompted an increase in the average US retail price for regular grade gasoline (retail gasoline price) to $3.03/gal on May 17, marking the first time retail gasoline prices averaged more than $3/gal since Oct. 27, 2014, according to US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. The average retail gasoline price in the Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C) increased 10¢/gal from the previous week to $2.88/gal.
The increased retail price for gasoline in the Lower Atlantic resulted from outages at many regional gas stations, which occurred due to the pipeline disruption that hindered supply and increased gasoline purchases in response to station outages. On May 17, New England (PADD 1A) and Central Atlantic (PADD 1B) retail gasoline prices averaged $2.93/gal and $3.04/gal, respectively, up 6¢/gal and 5¢/gal from the previous week. The Midwest (PADD 2) and Gulf Coast (PADD 3) retail gasoline prices averaged $2.91/gal and $2.78/gal, respectively, up 5¢/gal and 11¢/gal from the previous week.
After shutting down Friday, May 7, Colonial Pipeline restarted some pipeline operations on Wednesday, May 12 (OGJ Online, May 13, 2021). On Saturday, May 15, the company said it had returned the system to normal operations. Shipments through Colonial Pipeline move about 5 mph, so some markets may need to rely on regional inventories until fuel can move through the Colonial Pipeline.
EIA’s most recent Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR) includes weekly regional closing inventory data for the East Coast and its subregions as of May 7, which include gasoline inventories just prior to the pipeline shutdown. On May 7, total motor gasoline stocks in the Lower Atlantic region were 24.6 million bbl, 7% less than the 5-year average. Motor gasoline stocks in the New England and Central Atlantic regions combined totaled 40.0 million bbl, about equal to the 5-year average.
