???? 據油價網3月17日消息：美國能源情報署(EIA)報告稱，截至3月12日當周原油庫存增加240萬桶，高于前一周的1380萬桶。

????早些時候，美國石油學會估計，本周石油庫存將減少100萬桶，這讓市場感到意外。

????過去三周，原油和燃料庫存預計將大幅增加，此前北極氣候席卷德克薩斯州，導致煉油廠關閉，石油、汽油和餾分油庫存增加。

????在汽油方面，EIA報告稱上周庫存增加了50萬桶。相比之下，前一周的產量為1190萬桶。上周汽油日產量為890萬桶，高于前一周的900萬桶。

????在中間餾分油方面，美國能源局報告稱，截至3月12日的一周庫存增加了30萬桶。而此前一周庫存減少550萬桶，為連續第二周大幅減少，此前3月第一周庫存減少970萬桶。上周中間餾分油平均日產量為420萬桶，高于前一周的370萬桶。

????上周煉油廠的平均加工速度為1340萬桶/天，低于前一周的1230萬桶/天，運營產能為76.1%。

????與此同時，油價正在回落，因為更多歐洲國家因血液凝固問題暫停使用阿斯利康疫苗，進一步推動歐洲恢復正常。美國創紀錄的疫苗接種率不足以阻止疫情數據下滑，醫學專家不斷警告稱，美國尚未脫離險境，任何過早放松行動限制都可能導致新感染病例的再次激增。

????在撰寫本報告時，布倫特原油價格為每桶68.03美元，西德克薩斯中質油價格為每桶64.55美元。

????Oil Prices Inch Lower As Crude Inventories Continue To Build

????The Energy Information Administration reported a crude oil inventory build of 2.4 million barrels for the week to March 12, up/down from a build of 13.8 million barrels the authority reported for the previous week.

????A day earlier, the American Petroleum Institute surprised markets by estimating an oil inventory decline for the same week, of 1 million barrels.

????Hefty builds in both crude and fuel inventories were expected in the past three weeks after the wave of Arctic weather that swept across Texas prompted refinery closures and stocking up of oil, gasoline and distillates.

????In gasoline, the EIA reported an inventory increase for last week, at half a million barrels. This compared with a draw of as much as 11.9 million barrels for the previous week. Gasoline production stood at 8.9 million bpd last week, compared with 9 million bpd a week earlier.

????In middle distillates, the energy authority reported an inventory build of 300,000 barrels for the week to March 12. This compared with a decline of 5.5 million barrels for the previous week, the second large weekly draw in a row, after a 9.7-million-barrel decline in inventories in the first week of March. Middle distillate production averaged 4.2 million bpd last week, compared with 3.7 million bpd a week earlier.

????Refinery processing rates averaged 13.4 million bpd last week, versus 12.3 million bpd a week earlier, operating at 76.1 percent of capacity.

????Oil prices, meanwhile, are on a retreat as more countries in Europe suspend the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine on blood clotting concerns, pushing back further Europe’s return to normal. Record vaccination rates in the United States have not been enough to arrest the slide amid continued warnings from medical experts that the U.S. is not out of the woods and any premature relaxation in movement restrictions could lead to another spike in new infections.

????At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $68.03 a barrel, with West Texas Intermediate at $64.55 a barrel.
