據阿納多盧新聞9月20日消息稱，美國能源信息署（EIA）周三表示，美國原油出口在2020年2月創下歷史新高之后，今年上半年美國的原油出口與去年同期相比有所增加。

EIA數據顯示，今年2月，美國原油出口量達到創紀錄的370萬桶/天，3月下降15.1萬桶/天，至360萬桶/天，4月下降48萬桶/天，至310萬桶/天。

根據該機構的數據，5月份，出口繼續下滑，先是降至290萬桶/天，比2019年5月的水平低3萬桶/天，然后在6月份降至280萬桶/天，比2019年6月的水平低34.7萬桶/天。

然而，EIA數據顯示，盡管最近有所下降，但2020年上半年美國原油平均出口量為320萬桶/天，高于2019年上半年的290萬桶/天。

EIA稱，2020年上半年美國原油進口量遠低于2019年同期水平。

數據顯示，2020年上半年，美國原油進口量平均為620萬桶/天，與2019年上半年相比下降85.5萬桶/天，降幅12%。

不過，該機構表示，4月份進口大幅下降，5月份和6月份出現增長。

US oil exports up in first half of 2020

Crude oil exports in the US increased in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, after a record-high increase in February 2020, according to the country's Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday.

US crude oil exports reached record high levels of 3.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) in February this year, and declined by 151,000 barrels per day in March to 3.6 mb/d and then by a record 480,000 barrels per day to 3.1 million b/d in April, the EIA data showed.

In May, exports continued to decline, first falling to 2.9 mb/d, or 30,000 barrels per day lower than the May 2019 level, and then to 2.8 mb/d in June -347,000 barrels per day lower than the June 2019 level, according to the agency.

However, despite the recent declines, US crude oil exports averaged 3.2 mb/d in the first half of 2020, up from 2.9 mb/d in the first half of 2019, the EIA data showed.

US crude oil imports in the first half of 2020 were much lower than levels seen during the same period of 2019, the EIA said.

The US imported an average of 6.2 mb/d of crude oil in the first half of 2020, down 855,000 barrels per day, or 12%, compared with the first half of 2019, according to the data.

However, the agency said monthly imports declined sharply in April before increasing in May and June.
