中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯11月3日消息，美国能源情报署(EIA)周三公布的数据显示，上周美国商业原油库存下降幅度超过预期，但柴油库存意外连续第三周增加。
EIA表示，上周美国商业原油库存减少310万桶，至4.368亿桶，比5年平均水平低3%。接受《华尔街日报》调查的分析师此前预计，原油库存将较前一周仅减少20万桶。库存大幅下降的部分原因是，随着释放战略石油储备计划开始逐步结束，从美国战略石油储备向商业用途转移的原油数量低于正常水平。

U.S. Crude Inventories Decline
U.S. commercial inventories of crude-oil decreased more than expected last week but diesel fuel inventories unexpectedly increased for a third straight week, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.
Commercial crude-oil stockpiles fell by 3.1 million barrels to 436.8 million barrels, and are now 3% below the five-year average, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude stockpiles would fall by just 200,000 barrels from the prior week. The large decline in inventories was due partly to a smaller-than-normal weekly transfer of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the commercial side, as the program begins to wind down.
