据美国钻井网站2022年8月10日报道，美国能源信息署（EIA）在其最新一期的短期能源展望（STEO）报告中强调，7月29日布伦特原油和西得克萨斯中质原油（WTI）之间的价差达到了每桶13.26美元，这是自2014年1月14日以来的最高价差。

EIA表示，布伦特原油与西得克萨斯中质原油之间的巨大价差反映了西北欧的供需动态。EIA在STEO报告中概述称，8月份头几个交易日，价差有所收窄，但仍处于高位。

EIA在STEO报告中指出：“爆发地缘政治冲突导致了贸易模式的转变，让欧洲不得不寻找产能大国石油的替代品。”

“这一变化已将布伦特原油合约价格推高到足以减少亚洲对布伦特原油的进口，并在欧洲保留更多原油的水平。布伦特原油-西得克萨斯中质原油的价差也已经扩大到足以吸引更多的原油从美国进口到欧洲。”EIA补充说。

Brent-WTI Oil Price Spread at Highest Point Since 2014

The price spread between Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil increased to a high of $13.26 per barrel on July 29, the highest price spread since January 14, 2014, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) highlighted in its latest short term energy outlook (STEO).

This wide Brent-WTI spread reflects supply and demand dynamics in Northwest Europe, according to the EIA, which outlined in the STEO that the difference had come down in the first few trading days of August but remained high.

“The war has resulted in shifting trade patterns, leaving Europe to find substitutes for the larger producer’s oil,” the EIA noted in the STEO.

“This change has driven up the price of Brent contracts to a level high enough to reduce Asia’s imports of Brent crude oil and to retain more oil in Europe. The Brent-WTI spread has also increased enough to attract more imports of crude oil from the United States into Europe,” the EIA added.
