據鉆機地帶7月19日消息，6月份美國原油出口量創下每日330萬桶的歷史新高。

這是根據美國石油協會(API)周四發布的最新月度統計報告得出的結論。該報告強調，創紀錄的石油出口幫助美國將石油凈進口量減少至130萬桶/天。

據該報告稱，美國6月石油日出口量為840萬桶，達到了創紀錄水平。這比去年5月和6月分別增長了3.6%和7.9%。

報告顯示，美國6月份原油日產量達到創紀錄的1220萬桶，“盡管鉆探活動減少”。

API首席經濟學家Dean Foreman在一份組織聲明中表示：“按照美國能源信息署(EIA)的預測，美國在2020年成為能源凈出口國的道路上似乎正在取得實質性進展，盡管油價在5月至6月期間下跌了10%，但美國的石油產量仍在繼續攀升。”

Dean Foreman補充道：“這一趨勢在一定程度上是由盈虧平衡價格越來越低、關鍵生產地區生產力的強勁增長，以及將這些資源推向市場所需的新增管道基礎設施所推動的。”

早在6月份，API就透露，5月份美國石油出口和原油產量均創下歷史新高。API在6月份發布的第二季度行業展望報告中表示，美國將繼續保持創紀錄的石油產量。該報告還強調，盡管美國原油出口能力已經“足夠”，但一些產能估計顯示“提前計劃的緊迫性”。

US Oil Exports Reach New All-Time High

U.S. crude oil exports reached a new all-time high of 3.3 million barrels per day (MMbpd) in June.

That’s according to the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) latest monthly statistical report released Thursday, which highlighted that the record exports helped reduce U.S. net petroleum imports to 1.3MMbpd.

Total U.S. petroleum exports for the month were at 8.4MMbpd, according to the report, which noted that this was a record for June. This was said to be an increase of 3.6 percent from May and 7.9 percent from June last year.

Record U.S. crude oil production of 12.2 MMbpd was sustained in June “despite less drilling”, according to the report.

“The U.S. appears to be making substantive progress towards becoming a net energy exporter in 2020, as projected by the EIA, with production continuing to sustain its upward climb despite oil prices having declined 10 percent between May and June,” API Chief Economist Dean Foreman said in an organization statement.

“This trend has been driven in part by increasingly low breakeven prices, strong productivity gains in key production regions and the incremental additions of new pipeline infrastructure needed to bring these resources to market,” he added.

Back in June, the API revealed that in May, U.S. petroleum exports and crude oil production saw records. In its second quarter industry outlook report, also released in June, the API said the United States was poised for a continuation of record oil production. This report also highlighted that while U.S. crude oil export capacity has been “sufficient”, some capacity estimates suggest “some urgency to plan forward”.
