據(jù)今日油價網(wǎng)站1月26日消息 美國政府已批準(zhǔn)從戰(zhàn)略石油儲備中再釋放1340萬桶原油，這是白宮去年11月首次宣布的一項舉措，旨在緩解燃料價格上漲的壓力。

彭博社報道稱，此次釋放將在七家公司中分發(fā)，并指出這將是史上第二次大規(guī)模戰(zhàn)略石油儲備釋放，使迄今為止的總釋放量達到4000萬桶。

11月，美國能源部表示，將從戰(zhàn)略石油儲備中釋放5000萬桶石油，其中3200萬桶將在未來幾個月以交換的形式釋放，釋放出未來幾年必須返回戰(zhàn)略石油儲備。另外1800萬桶將是國會此前批準(zhǔn)的石油銷售在未來幾個月內(nèi)的加速。

在這次最新發(fā)布之前，能源部分三次發(fā)布了來自戰(zhàn)略石油儲備的約1000萬桶原油。

能源部在12月底表示：“與所有交易所一樣，通過交易所接收戰(zhàn)略石油儲備原油的公司同意返還收到的原油數(shù)量，以及額外數(shù)量，具體取決于它們持有原油的時間長短。”

盡管戰(zhàn)略石油儲備做出了釋放努力，但天然氣價格并沒有達到白宮想要的水平。根據(jù)CNBC最近的一份報告，在過去的12個月里，價格上漲了約50%，而且隨著通貨膨脹的加劇，短期內(nèi)大幅下跌的可能性非常小。

U.S. Releases Another 13.4 Million Barrels From SPR

The U.S. administration has approved the release of another 13.4 million barrels of crude from the strategic petroleum reserve in a move first announced last November by the White House as an attempt to ease upward pressure on fuel prices.

Bloomberg reported the release will be distributed among seven companies, noting that this would be the second-largest SPR release ever, bringing the total released so far to 40 million barrels.

In November, the Department of Energy said it would make available releases of 50 million barrels from the SPR, of which 32 million barrels were to be in the form of an exchange over the next several months, releasing oil that must be returned to the SPR in the years ahead. Another 18 million barrels were to be an acceleration into the next several months of a sale of oil that Congress had previously authorized. 

Before this latest release, the Department of Energy distributed about 10 million barrels of crude from the SPR in three releases.

“As with all exchanges, companies that receive SPR crude oil through the exchange agree to return the amount of crude oil received, as well as an additional amount, dependent upon the length of time in which they hold the oil,” the DoE said in late December.

Despite the SRP release effort, gas prices are not where the White House would want them to be. Over the past 12 months, prices at the pump have gained some 50 percent, per a recent CNBC report, and with inflation running hot, the chances of them declining in any substantial way anytime soon are quite slim.
