据世界能源12月24日消息：韩国将在2022年第一季度释放317万桶石油储备，这是美国主导的主要石油消费国为降低油价而采取的措施之一。
根据引用的贸易、工业和能源部(Motie)的数据，1月至3月期间释放的石油量占韩国国家石油储量9700万桶的3.3%。
韩国表示，其中200多万桶原油将通过贷款协议提供给当地炼油商，其余109万桶石油产品将通过投标程序提供给出价最高的投标者。
美国11月底曾表示，美国能源部将从SPR释放5,000万桶石油，以与其他主要石油消费国共同努力，降低高企的汽油价格。美国的SPR释放将与印度、日本、韩国和英国等其他主要能源消费国家同步进行。
尽管5000万桶似乎是一个巨大数字，但美国释放的石油实际上相当于美国大约两天半的石油消费量，2019年大流行前美国的石油消费量为每天2050万桶。
其他国家的减产幅度要小得多，主要石油消费国似乎正在协调努力，试图降低高油价，而欧佩克+则坚持其石油生产计划。
石油市场已经基本消化了SPR发布的价格，在官方声明发布之前，油价就出现了下滑。分析师还指出，战略储备的一次性销售对大幅压低油价并没有太大作用。
推动油价走低的是Omicron新冠病毒的出现，该变体在感恩节后吓坏了市场，导致第二天价格暴跌10%。随着各国开始宣布禁止来自非洲国家的航班，原油领跌所有市场。美国节日期间石油市场的低流动性也导致了价格暴跌，这是自2020年4月以来的最大单日暴跌。

South Korea To Release 3 Million Barrels Of Oil Reserves In Early 2022
South Korea will release 3.17 million barrels of its oil reserves in the first quarter of 2022 as part of the U.S.-led global effort by major oil-consuming nations to lower prices.
The volume to be released between January and March accounts for 3.3 percent of South Korea’s state oil reserves of 97 million barrels, according to the ministry of trade, industry and energy (Motie) cited .
Just over 2 million barrels of the release will be crude and will go to local refiners via loan agreements, and the other 1.09 million barrels will be petroleum products released via a bidding process to the highest bidder, South Korea said.
U.S. said at the end of November that the Department of Energy would release 50 million barrels of oil from the SPR in a bid to lower high gasoline prices in a coordinated effort with other major oil-consuming nations. The SPR release from the United States will be carried out in parallel with other major energy-consuming nations, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the UK.
Despite the seemingly big number, 50 million barrels, the U.S. release actually equals around two and a half days of American petroleum consumption, which was at 20.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in the pre-pandemic 2019.
The other countries are going for much smaller releases, and the message seems to be that major oil consumers are coordinating efforts to try to lower high prices, while OPEC+ sticks to its guns over its oil production plan.
The oil market had already largely priced in SPR releases, with prices sliding before the official announcement. Analysts have also pointed out that one-off sales from strategic reserves cannot do much to move oil prices significantly lower.
What did move oil prices lower was the emergence of the Omicron COVID variant, which spooked the markets jut after Thanksgiving, leading to a 10-percent price collapse on the following day. Crude oil led the plunge in all markets as countries started to announce bans on flights from African countries. The low liquidity on the oil market in the festive period in the U.S. also contributed to the collapse in prices, which was the largest one-day crash since April 2020.
