据今日油价网9月19日报道，来自路透社消息，美国能源部周一宣布将在11月出售1000万桶原油，美国战略石油储备（SPR）交付1.8亿桶原油的目标，似乎要延长至10月以后才实现。
1000万桶的销量将使总销量达到1.65亿桶，而下个月底的目标是1.8亿桶。
3月，为降低油价，政府批准在六个月内从SPR中释放100万桶/日的原油，并通过与公司签订合同，以固定价格购买未来石油，从而可能促进国内生产。
SPR的发布是对石油和天然气价格飙升所造成的全球石油市场混乱的回应。
上周，彭博社报道称，当油价跌至每桶80美元以下时，政府可能开始填补SPR。知情人士告诉彭博社，政府正在考虑这个时机，希望美国石油产量继续增长，防止油价暴跌。
然而，华盛顿否认了该报告，称不会急于购买原油来补充SPR，并且购买计划没有与低于的任何具体油价挂钩。
据路透社援引能源部的话说，新销售的1000万桶原油将是低硫原油，合同将于10月7日前签订。
当被问及出售全部1.8亿桶目标原油的日期时，政府的一位高级官员告诉记者，正如路透社报道的那样，“当展望未来时，你们现在看到的是当前的市场动态评估，并确保石油产量符合需求”。

10 Million Barrels Of SPR Crude Going Up For Sale For November Diliverly
The target date for selling 180 million barrels of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) appears to have been extended beyond October with the Department of Energy’s announcement on Monday that it would sell up to 10 million barrels for November delivery, Reuters reports.
The 10-million-barrel sale will bring total sales to 165 million barrels out of the 180-million-barrel target to be sold by the end of next month.
In March, the Administration authorized the release of 1 million bpd from the SPR over a period of six months in a bid to lower oil prices and potentially boost domestic production through contracts with companies to purchase future oil at fixed prices.
The SPR releases are a response to the disruption of global oil markets that have led to soaring oil and gas prices.
Last week, Bloomberg reported that the Administration could start filling the SPR when oil prices drop below $80 per barrel. The timing is being considered as the Administration looks to have U.S. oil production continue growing and prevent a plunge in oil prices, sources with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg.
However, Washington denied that report, saying there would be no rush into buying crude to refill the SPR, and that the purchase plans were not pegged to any specific oil price below.
The new sale of 10 million barrels will be of sweet crude and contracts will be awarded by October 7th, according to Reuters, citing the Department of Energy.
When asked about a date for selling the full 180 million barrels targets, a senior Administration official told reporters, as carried by Reuters, “As we look to the future, I think what you’re seeing right now is us evaluating the current market dynamics and making sure that our releases align with the needs.”
