石油设备网讯 据道琼斯6月13日消息，最近美国原油库存维持在28.5天的需求左右，这与通常从4月份开始呈季节性下滑的状况不符。
Energy Aspects称，这一方面是因为美国中西部遭遇洪水，影响了国内卡车运输和工业需求；另一方面，来自加拿大、哥伦比亚和伊拉克的原油进口强劲。该机构预计，到了8月份，美国原油库存/需求比率将回落至约25天的五年平均水平，因为洪灾补贴以及夏季炼油活动回升。该机构称，强劲的美国原油出口也将导致国内库存下降。

Bloated US Oil Inventories May Quickly Ease
US oil stockpiles have remained around 28.5 days of demand of late, belying a seasonal drop which usually starts in April. Energy Aspects says that's because of the Midwest flooding, which has affected domestic trucking and industrial demand, as well as strong imports from Canada, Colombia and Iraq. The firm sees the inventory/demand ratio returning to its 5-year average of around 25 days by August as flooding subsides and refinery activity increases. runs pick up for the summer season. Strong US crude oil exports will also trim inventories, it says.
