据世界能源网站12月13日报道，美国能源部周五表示，将于12月17日出售战略石油储备中的1800万桶原油，作为此前宣布的降低油价计划的一部分。
美国上个月宣布，将与其他国家一起从储备中释放约5000万桶石油，以应对不断上涨的燃料成本。
11月，由于全球燃料需求激增，油价升至每桶86美元以上的七年高点。
将要出售的1800万桶石油已经得到国会的批准。剩余的桶数将在未来几个月通过与市场的交易所发行。

U.S. to Sell 18 mln Barrels of Oil from Reserves on Dec 17
The U.S. Department of Energy said on Friday it will sell 18 million barrels of crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve on Dec. 17, as part of a previously announced plan to cool oil prices.
The Administration announced last month it would release about 50 million barrels from its reserves in conjunction with other countries to combat the rising cost of fuel.
Oil prices rose to seven-year highs at more than $86 a barrel in November due to surging fuel demand worldwide.
The 18 million barrels to be sold had already been approved by Congress . The remaining barrels will be issued in coming months through an exchange with the market.
