据道琼斯8月2日消息，管输能力短缺已经迫使象加拿大西部和得克萨斯州西部的石油生产商以巨大的折扣出售石油,而炼油商们则热切购买来自于这些地区的原油,将它转化为燃料，并以巨大的利润进行销售，因为燃料价格往往反映基准石油价格上涨,即使使用的更便宜的石油。RBN 能源公司在一份新报告中表示：“拥有良好管道能力，或有能力获得这些原油的炼油商们，能够抓住这种非常好的套利机会。”他指出，美国中部地区的炼油商正在牵头负责这一交易。

Refiners Capitalize Pipeline shortages have forced oil producers in places like western Canada and west Texas to sell their oil at huge discounts, and refiners are eagerly buying it, turning it into fuel and selling it at huge profits since their fuel prices tend to reflect higher benchmark oil prices even if they use the cheaper, regional oil. "Refiners with firm pipeline capacity, or access to shippers with capacity, are able to capture a portion of that sweet, sweet arbitrage," says RBN Energy in a new report, noting refiners in the mid-continent are leading the charge.
