石油设备网讯 据纽约彭博社3月19日消息，美国炼油商不仅购买原油来生产汽油和柴油，还与生产商和贸易商竞争出口页岩油。
马拉松石油公司（Marathon Petroleum Corp.）和飞利浦66公司（Phillips 66）——美国三大独立燃料生产商中的两家——正在进入页岩油出口繁荣期。马拉松石油公司（Marathon Petroleum Corp.）首席执行官加里•海明格（Gary Heminger）在圣安东尼奥举行的美国燃料和石化制造商会议上接受采访时表示，于两周前前往新加坡和韩国，寻找美国原油潜在客户。
除了到德克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂的灰橡管道（该管道将于年底完工）外，马拉松还将原油从中西部输送到新奥尔良地区，从那里可以通过路易斯安那海上石油港出口。
去年年底，菲利普斯66号从北达科他州将巴肯石油运往墨西哥，击败了贸易公司和生产商，向墨西哥石油公司供应第一批美国原油。

U.S. Refiners Look to get in on shale oil export boom
U.S. refiners aren’t just buying crude to turn into gasoline and diesel -- they’re competing with producers and traders to export it.
Marathon Petroleum Corp. and Phillips 66 -- two of the three biggest U.S. independent fuelmakers -- are getting in on the shale export boom.
Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s CEO Gary Heminger traveled to Singapore and South Korea two weeks ago looking to line up potential customers for American crude, he said in an interview at the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers conference in San Antonio.
In addition to the Gray Oak pipeline to Corpus Christi, Texas, which should be completed by the end of the year, Marathon has an interest in Capline, which will be reversed to carry crude from the Midwest down to the New Orleans area, from where it can be exported via the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port.
Phillips 66 shipped Bakken oil from North Dakota to Mexico late last year, beating out trading houses and and producers to supply Petroleos Mexicanos with its first U.S. crude cargo..
