据油价网8月15日报道，美国石油协会（API）的数据显示，美国原油库存本周大幅减少了6195万桶，此前上周出人意料地增加了4067万桶。
分析师预计美国原油库存将减少205万桶。根据API的数据，今年迄今为止原油库存总共净增加了近1800万桶，尽管自4月以来原油库存净减少了近3000万桶。
周一，美国能源部（DoE）报告称，战略石油储备（SPR）的原油库存在8月14日的一周内增加了60万桶，目前SPR库存仍处于近40年来的低位，为3.484亿桶。按照这个恢复速度，SPR需要在不到十年的时间内恢复到2021年的水平。
WTI和布伦特基准在周二早上交易时均有所下跌，持续担忧经济活动以及随后的石油需求可能令人失望。到东部标准时间下午4时15分，WTI以每桶80.98美元的价格下跌1.85%，比上周同期下跌近2美元。布伦特原油以每桶84.90美元的价格下跌1.52%，比上周同期下跌1.10美元。
目前汽油库存约比五年均值低7%。蒸馏油库存下降了80万桶，目前已经低于五年均值约17%。
美国能源信息署（EIA）的数据显示，8月4日的一周内，美国原油产量增加了40万桶/日，达到1260万桶/日。如果数值准确，那将是多年来最大的单周产量增加。
俄克拉何马州库欣市的库存再次减少了100万桶，此前一周下降了11.2万桶。

Oil Steady Despite Large Crude Draw
Crude oil inventories in the United States saw a large draw this week of 6.195 million barrels, the American Petroleum Institute (API) data showed on Tuesday, after last week’s surprise 4.067 million barrel build.
Analysts were expecting a draw of 2.050 million barrels in U.S. crude-oil inventories. The total number of barrels of crude oil gained so far this year is nearly 18 million barrels, according to API data, although there is a net draw in crude inventories since April of almost 30 million barrels.
On Monday, the Department of Energy (DoE) reported that crude oil inventories in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) rose by 600,000 barrels in the week ending August 14, with the SPR inventory still sitting at a near 40-year low of 348.4 million barrels. At that rate of replenishment, the SPR should return to 2021 levels in a little under a decade.
The WTI and Brent benchmarks were both trading down on Tuesday morning in the run-up to the data release on continued fear about economic activity and subsequent oil demand being a disappointment. By 4:15 p.m. EST, WTI was trading down 1.85%, at $80.98 per barrel—down nearly $2 per barrel from this time last week. Brent crude was trading down 1.52% at $84.90—down $1.10 from this time last week.
Gasoline inventories saw a build this week, rising by 700,000 barrels, more than offsetting last week’s 413,000 barrels dip in the week prior. Gasoline inventories are roughly 7% less than the five-year average for this time of year. Distillate inventories fell by another 800,000 barrels, after the 2.093 million barrel draw in the week prior, and are already sitting somewhere around 17% below the five-year average for this time of year.
EIA data suggests that crude oil production in the United States rose by 400,000 bpd to 12.6 million bpd for the week ending August 4. If that weekly estimate turns out to be close to accurate, that would be the single largest weekly production increase in years.
Inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma, fell by another million barrels, after falling by 112,000 barrels in the previous week.
