石油设备网讯 据能源信息统计3月23日消息，美国能源部已决定，到2020年6月底，为战略石油储备购买至多3000万桶原油，以遵守总统指令，充实美国战略石油储备。
美国战略石油储备的总存储容量为7.135亿桶石油，在美国墨西哥湾沿岸的地下盐穴的可储容量为7700万桶。对于大多数储存站点，其填充速度可以达到22.5万桶/天。因此，美国将以大约26亿美元的价格购买约7700万桶原油。前3000万桶将包括从美国中小型生产商处购买的低硫原油(至多1130万桶)和高硫原油(至多为1870万桶)；交付预计在2020年5月1日至6月30日之间。第二轮采购预计将在60至90天内完成。

The United States will buy 30 mbl of oil for the strategic reserve
The US Department of Energy (DoE) has decided to buy up to 30 mbl of crude oil by the end of June 2020 for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), to comply with a presidential directive to fill up the SPR with US crude oil.
The SPR has a total storage capacity of 713.5 mbl, with an available capacity of 77 mbl in underground salt caverns along the US Gulf Coast. It can be filled at a rate of 225,000 bbl/d for most storage sites. The United States will thus buy around 77 mbl of crude oil for an estimated US$2.6bn. The first 30 mbl will consist of both sweet crude (up to 11.3 mbl) and sour crude oil (up to 18.7 mbl), purchased from small and mid-sized US producers; deliveries are expected between 1 May ad 30 June 2020. A second round of purchases is expected in 60 to 90 days.
