-- 美國能源部週五宣布,已授予合同,將從布萊恩蒙德戰略石油儲備庫緊急調撥850萬桶原油。 此舉標誌著能源部執行1.72億桶原油釋放計畫的第二階段。該計畫是國際能源總署成員國為穩定全球石油市場而協調釋放4億桶原油計畫的一部分。 能源部聲明稱,該合約的授予是在其近期就此部分原油交換項目發布徵求建議書之後進行的,交割工作將立即開始,旨在解決短期供應中斷問題。 根據這些合同,能源部將推進850萬桶原油的交換,這些原油將在明年之前連同額外的優質原油一併返還。 這項行動建立在原油交換計畫的第一階段之上,第一階段已從巴尤喬克托、布萊恩蒙德和西哈克貝裡三個儲備庫調撥了4,520萬桶原油。 「今天的授標將繼續推進我們快速向市場輸送石油、緩解近期供應中斷的工作,」美國能源部油氣和地熱能源辦公室助理部長凱爾·豪斯特維特表示。 他補充說,透過這種交換機制,能源部旨在立即交付關鍵石油,同時隨著時間的推移,向戰略石油儲備庫返還更多石油。
