中国石化新闻网讯 据油气新闻网2月14日报道，美国周一表示，将从战略石油储备（Strategic Petroleum Reserve）出售2600万桶原油，这是国会在前几年授权的。
在政府去年售出创纪录的1.8亿桶石油储备后，美国能源部曾考虑取消2023财年出售2600万桶石油的计划。但是取消的操作需要国会批准执行。
周一宣布的出售计划可能会暂时使美国石油储备低于目前约3.72亿桶的水平，这是1983年以来的最低水平。
美国能源部表示，对这些石油的投标截止日期是2月28日，交付将在4月1日至6月30日期间。
美国政府出售了1.8亿桶石油，以应对因地缘政治冲突及疫情而上涨的燃料价格。
该部门表示，它正在实施一项由三部分组成的战略，以长期补充战略石油储备，包括使用紧急销售的收入回购，从以前的交易中回收超过2500万桶石油，并与国会合作，避免“与供应中断无关的不必要销售，以战略性地维持产量”。

US to sell 26m barrels of oil from reserve
The Administration said>The US Department of Energy had considered cancelling the fiscal year 2023 sale of the 26 million barrels after the Administration last year sold a record 180 million barrels from the reserve. But such a cancellation would have required Congress to act.
Monday's announced sale will likely temporarily push the reserve below its current level of about 372 million barrels, its lowest level since 1983.
The DOE said bids>The Administration sold the 180 million barrels of oil to combat fuel prices that had risen>The department said it is implementing a three-part strategy to refill the reserve in the long term, including repurchases with revenues from emergency sales, returns of more than 25 million barrels of oil from previous exchanges, and working with Congress to avoid "unnecessary sales unrelated to supply disruptions to strategically maintain volume".
