據油價網2020年9月22日休斯敦報道，美國能源信息署(EIA)22日公布的統計數據顯示，全球石油和燃料需求的下降推動美國2月至6月原油出口從每日370萬桶的創紀錄高位繼續下滑。

根據EIA統計數據，美國6月份原油出口量從2月的平均每日370.8萬桶降至每日275.3萬桶。

盡管在全球為遏制新冠病毒疫情蔓延而實施的封鎖期間，美國的原油出口有所下降，但美國今年上半年的原油出口量仍高于2019年上半年。

統計數據顯示，美國今年上半年的原油進口量與去年同期相比也有所下降，在沙特阿拉伯4月份向市場輸送創紀錄水平的原油以后，美國5、6月份的原油進口量出現了激增。

EIA估計，今年上半年全球石油日需求量從去年上半年的1070億桶下降到了平均9000萬桶。EIA的統計數據顯示，自2月以來，全球原油及石油產品需求大幅下降，導致美國原油出口持續下滑。

U.S. Oil Exports Continue To Decline

Declining global oil and fuel demand in the pandemic pushed U.S. crude oil exports down from their record-high of 3.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in February in each month through June, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Tuesday.

U.S. exports of crude oil fell from 3.708 million bpd in February to 2.753 million bpd in June, according to EIA data.

Despite the export decline during the global lockdowns to curb the spread of the coronavirus, U.S. crude oil exports in the first half of 2020 were still higher than they were in the first half of 2019.

U.S. crude oil imports in the first half of 2020 were also down compared to year-ago levels, despite the fact that imports surged in May and June after Saudi Arabia shipped record levels of crude to the market in April.

In the first half of 2020, global oil demand slumped to average to 90.0 million bpd, down from 100.7 million barrels bpd in the first half of 2019, the EIA has estimated. Significantly lower demand for crude oil and petroleum products has resulted in declining U.S. crude oil exports since February, EIA data showed.
