据管道&天然气杂志网6月28日报道,据分析师周一表示,由于欧洲寻求美国原油以抵消受制裁的石油,本季度美国墨西哥湾沿岸的原油出口量可能达到创纪录的330万桶/天。
由于美国决定从国家战略石油储备中释放1.8亿桶石油,这些石油涌入国内市场,美国的出口在过去三个月里有所增长。
根据能源数据公司Kpler的数据显示,本季度对欧洲的日均出口量预计为140万桶,较去年同期增长约30%,而对亚洲的日出口量预计将降至100万桶以下。
Kpler原油分析部门联席主管Viktor Katona表示,4月份美国对欧洲原油日出口量为153万桶,达到历史第二高水平。
据雷斯塔能源分析师指出,美国炼油产能紧张也提振了出口。自2020年以来,美国的炼油能力已经减少了近100万桶/天。
雷斯塔能源页岩研究主管阿特姆•阿布拉莫夫表示,政府为支持原油供应而进行的干预导致了出口的增加,这并不令人意外。
科珀斯克里斯蒂港的吞吐量增加了15万桶/天,达到186万桶/天。雷斯塔补充道,自去年第三季度以来,休斯敦港口的出口也一直在增长,但仍低于疫情前的水平。
据雷斯塔预计,2023年前三个月,原油出口量将继续增长,接近400万桶/天。

US Gulf Coast Crude Oil Exports to Hit Record High This Quarter
Exports of crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast could hit a record 3.3 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) this quarter, analysts said on Monday, as Europe chases U.S. crude to offset sanctioned oil.
U.S. exports have risen in the last three months, helped by Washington's decision to release 180 million barrels of oil from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which have flooded the domestic market.
Exports to Europe are expected to average about 1.4 MMbbl/d this quarter, about 30% higher than the year-ago quarter, while export to Asia is set to drop to under 1 MMbbl/d, according to energy data firm Kpler.
"The 1.53 million bbl/d of U.S. crude exports to Europe recorded in April is the second-highest reading on record," said Viktor Katona, co-head of crude analysis at Kpler.
Tight U.S. refining capacity also boosted exports, Rystad Energy analysts noted. The United States has lost nearly 1 MMbbl/d of refining capacity since 2020.
"It's no surprise that government intervention to support crude supplies has resulted in an increase in exports," said Artem Abramov, head of shale research at Rystad Energy.
Throughput via the Port of Corpus Christi has increased by more than 150,000 bbl/d to reach 1.86 MMbbl/d. Port of Houston exports also have been rising since the third quarter of last year, but remain below pre-pandemic levels, Rystad added.
Crude exports will continue to grow and approach 4 MMbbl/d in the first three months of 2023, Rystad estimates.
