美国今年夏天有望成为汽油净出口国

据普氏能源资讯2019年4月22日纽约报道，标准普尔全球普氏能源资讯周一发布的一份分析报告显示，受炼油厂停产和汽油库存下降的影响，美国炼油利润率上周呈上升趋势。

美国能源信息署(EIA)在其最新一期《夏季燃料展望》报告中预测，在2019年夏季驾驶季节，美国将成为每日大约9万桶汽油的净出口国。EIA表示，如果这一预测成真，这将是美国自1960年以来首次成为整个夏季的汽油净出口国。

然而，EIA公布的最新的每周统计数据显示，汽油进口因计划和计划外的炼油厂停产而增加，截至4月12日的一周，汽油日进口量达到了99万桶，高于上周的71.4万桶，原因是沿海炼油商因计划和计划外的炼油厂停产增加了进口。

汽油进口量预计在它们下降前将增加。普氏能源资讯分析部门预计EIA每周公布的统计数据将显示在截至4月19日当周，由于炼油商在计划和计划外停产以后开始恢复生产，美国汽油日进口量为109.7万桶。

与此同时，EIA数据显示，截至4月12日当周，汽油出口从65.6万桶/天降至59.9万桶/天。

US poised to be net exporter of gasoline this summer

US refining margins trended higher last week, pulled up by refinery outages and lower gasoline stocks on the cusp of the summer driving season, an analysis by S&P Global Platts showed Monday.

In its most recent Summer Fuels Outlook, the EIA forecasts the US to be a net exporter of about 90,000 b/d of gasoline during the 2019 summer driving season. If this materializes as predicted, it would be the first time the US was a net gasoline exporter for a whole summer since 1960, the agency said.

However, most recent EIA weekly data showed gasoline imports rose on planned and unplanned refinery outages, reaching 990,000 b/d for the week ended April 12, from the week earlier 714,000 b/d, as coastal refiners increased imports due to planned and unplanned refinery downtime.

Gasoline imports are expected to rise before they fall. S&P Global Platts Analytics expects EIA weekly data to show 1.097 million b/d of gasoline imports in the week ended April 19, as refiners begin to bring back online units following planned and unplanned work.

Meanwhile, EIA data showed gasoline exports dropped to 599,000 b/d from 656,000 b/d for the week ended April 12.
