據烴加工網站9月16日消息 美國能源信息署（EIA）本周表示，盡管產量上升，但上周美國原油庫存意外下降，餾分油庫存再次上升。

在截至9月11日的一周內，原油庫存降至4月以來的最低水平，為4.96億桶，下滑440萬桶，而分析師在路透社調查中預計將增加130萬桶。

數據顯示，原油產量連續第二周上升，上周原油日產量躍升90萬桶，至1090萬桶/天。

EIA數據顯示，包括柴油和取暖油在內的餾分油庫存上周增加了350萬桶，達到1.793億桶，而預期將增加60萬桶。

Again Capital駐紐約合伙人John Kilduff表示：“這是一份看跌報告，尤其是在我們繼續關注需求問題之際。柴油需求的下降令人不安，因為卡車需求一直是一個亮點。”

EIA稱，美國汽油庫存下降40萬桶，至2.315億桶，而分析師預期下降16萬桶。

數據公布后，美國原油期貨縮減漲幅，汽油和柴油期貨也出現回落。美國東部時間周三上午11點（格林尼治標準時間15：00點），西德克薩斯中質原油期貨價格上漲1.29美元，至每桶39.58美元，此前一度升至每桶39.71美元的盤中高點。

EIA稱，WTI交貨中心俄克拉荷馬州庫欣的原油庫存下降了7.4萬桶。

上周煉油廠原油日產量增加70.9萬桶。本周煉油廠利用率上升了4個百分點。

EIA稱，上周美國原油凈進口量下降6.6萬桶/天。

U.S. crude stockpiles drop unexpectedly, diesel builds

U.S. crude oil stockpiles unexpectedly fell last week despite rising production, while distillate inventories were up once again, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said this week.

Crude inventories fell to their lowest since April at 496 MM barrels in the week to Sept. 11, sliding 4.4 MM barrels, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.3 MM-barrel rise.

Production rose for a second consecutive week, jumping 900,000 bpd of crude last week, to 10.9 million bpd, the data showed.

Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, rose by 3.5 MM barrels last week to 179.3 MM barrels, versus expectations for a 600,000-barrel rise, the EIA data showed.

"It was a bearish report, particularly as we continue to stare down demand issues," said John Kilduff, Partner at Again Capital in New York. "The drop off in diesel demand is disturbing because truck demand had been a bright spot."

U.S. gasoline stocks fell 400,000 barrels to 231.5 MM barrels, the EIA said, compared with analysts' expectations for a 160,000-barrel drop.

U.S. crude futures pared gains after the data, and gasoline and diesel futures also pulled back. West Texas Intermediate crude futures traded up $1.29 to $39.58 a barrel Wednesday by 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT), after earlier rising to a session high of $39.71 a barrel.

Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub for WTI fell by 74,000 barrels, EIA said.

Refinery crude runs rose by 709,000 bpd in the last week, EIA said. Refinery utilization rates rose by 4 percentage points, in the week.

Net U.S. crude imports fell last week by 66,000 bpd, the EIA said.
