據(jù)美國鉆井網(wǎng)站2021年4月20日報(bào)道，美國能源部(DOE)4月19日透露，美國打算從戰(zhàn)略石油儲備(SPR)出售多達(dá)900萬桶原油。

　　美國能源部周一在其網(wǎng)站上發(fā)布的一份聲明指出，SPR含硫原油的“價(jià)格競爭”銷售將在West Hackberry、Bryan Mound和Big Hill等三個(gè)儲存點(diǎn)進(jìn)行。據(jù)稱，此次出售是為了滿足2015年兩黨預(yù)算法案第404條款的要求，每個(gè)儲存點(diǎn)最多將出售300萬桶原油。

　　美國能源部表示，該部必須在4月27日美國中央時(shí)區(qū)上午10點(diǎn)之前收到報(bào)價(jià)，并將在5月6日之前將合同授予成功投標(biāo)者。原油交付將在今年6月進(jìn)行，最早的交貨時(shí)間是5月。在SPR原油銷售要約計(jì)劃中注冊的任何公司都有資格參與SPR原油出售。

　　美國能源部在其網(wǎng)站上強(qiáng)調(diào)，SPR是世界上最大的緊急原油供應(yīng)源。據(jù)美國能源部說，美國聯(lián)邦政府擁有的原油儲存在德克薩斯州和路易斯安那州四個(gè)儲存點(diǎn)的地下鹽穴中，在颶風(fēng)和地緣政治事件造成的緊急石油短缺時(shí)期，有保護(hù)經(jīng)濟(jì)和美國人生計(jì)的悠久歷史。

　　3月，美國能源部透露，從2月份啟動(dòng)的SPR原油出售中獲得了幾份合同，共出售了1010萬桶SPR原油。共有10家公司回應(yīng)了出售通知，提交了60份報(bào)價(jià)。美國能源部最后授予了7家公司合同，分別是嘉能可有限公司、馬拉松石油供應(yīng)和貿(mào)易有限責(zé)任公司、莫蒂瓦企業(yè)有限責(zé)任公司、菲利普斯66公司、殼牌貿(mào)易(美國)公司、瓦萊羅營銷和供應(yīng)公司以及澳大利亞政府。

　　今年1月，美國能源部曾宣布計(jì)劃在今的幾個(gè)月時(shí)間內(nèi)出售SPR的原油。

　　USA Selling up to 9MM Barrels from Reserve

　　The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has revealed that it intends to sell up to nine million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

　　A statement posted on the DOE’s website on Monday outlined that the “price competitive” sale of SPR sour crude oil will be conducted from the West Hackberry, Bryan Mound, and Big Hill sites. The sale, which was said to be announced to fulfill requirements for Section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, will see up to three million barrels go from each site.

　　The DOE said it must receive bids by no later than 10am CDT on April 27 and that it will award contracts to successful offerors by no later than May 6. Deliveries will take place in June this year, with early deliveries available in May. Any company registered in the SPR’s crude oil sales offer program is eligible to participate in SPR crude oil sales.

　　The SPR is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, the DOE highlights on its website. Stored in underground salt caverns at four storage sites in Texas and Louisiana, the federally owned oil stocks have a long history of protecting the economy and American livelihoods in times of emergency oil shortages created by hurricanes and geopolitical events, according to the DOE.

　　Last month, the DOE revealed that several contracts had been awarded from an SPR sale launched in February, which was for 10.1 million barrels of SPR crude oil. A total of 10 companies responded to the notice of sale, submitting 60 bids for evaluation. The DOE awarded contracts to seven companies - Glencore Ltd., Marathon Petroleum Supply and Trading LLC, Motiva Enterprises LLC, Phillips 66 Company, Shell Trading (US) Company, Valero Marketing, and Supply Company - and the Government of Australia.

　　Back in January, the DOE announced that it planned to sell crude oil from the SPR over a multi-month period during 2021.
