据美国油价网2022年8月31日报道，在美国能源信息署（EIA）公布在截至8月26日当周原油库存减少330万桶以后，今天原油价格小幅上涨。

目前美国的原油库存为4.183亿桶，比过去5年同期的平均水平低6%。截至8月26日的一周，这一数字比前一周减少330万桶。 

美国燃料行业的情况则是喜忧参半。在汽油方面，EIA报告称，截至8月26日的一周，汽油库存减少了120万桶。相比之下，前一周下降了460万桶。上周平均汽油日产量为980万桶，前一周为940万桶。 

EIA估计，上周美国中间馏分油库存略有增加10万桶，而前一周增加70万桶。上周中间馏分油平均日产量为490万桶，而前一周为520万桶。  

与此同时，美国柴油价格在两个月来首次出现周上涨，反弹至每加仑5美元以上。过去5年，中间馏分油库存比季节性平均水平低约五分之一。

本周早些时候，由于对供应的担忧，原油价格小幅上涨，但在撰写本文时出现了下跌。即使在美国石油学会（API）周二发布库存报告后，布伦特原油交易价格仍为每桶96.70美元，西得克萨斯中质原油交易价格为每桶90.29美元。报告显示，世界上最大的消费国对燃料的需求仍然强劲。  

API周二报告称，截至8月26日的一周，汽油库存减少340万桶，馏分油库存减少170万桶。

Oil Prices Climb Higher On Larger Than Expected Crude Draw

Crude oil prices rose slightly today after the Energy Information Administration reported an inventory draw of 3.3 million barrels for the week to August 26.

At 418.3 million barrels, inventories are 6 percent below the five-year average for this time of the year.

The number for the week to August 26 compared with a draw of 3.3 million barrels for the previous week.

The picture in fuels was mixed.

In gasoline, the EIA reported an inventory decline of 1.2 million barrels for the week to August 26. This compared with a decline of 4.6 million barrels for the previous week.

Gasoline production last week averaged 9.8 million barrels daily, which compared with 9.4 million bpd for the previous week.

In middle distillates, the EIA estimated a modest inventory build of 100,000 barrels for last week, which compared with a 700,000-barrel draw for the previous week.

Middle distillate production averaged 4.9 million barrels daily last week, which compared with 5.2 million bpd for the previous week.

Meanwhile, diesel prices in the U.S. rebounded above $5 per gallon in the first weekly price increase in two months. Middle distillate inventories are about a fifth below the seasonal average for the last five years.

Crude oil was down at the time of writing, after inching up earlier this week on supply concerns. Brent crude was trading at $96.70 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate was at $90.29, even after the API’s inventory report released Tuesday, which suggested demand for fuels in the world’s largest consumer remained robust.

The American Petroleum Institute reported on Tuesday that gasoline inventories had declined by 3.4 million barrels in the week to August 26, with distillate stocks down by 1.7 million barrels.
