今日石油網(wǎng)站2023年7月11日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國能源部時(shí)下正在尋求購買另外600萬桶原油來補(bǔ)充其戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備。根據(jù)7月7日能源部的通知，到8月份，美國能源部的原油總購買量將達(dá)到1200萬桶。

美國戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備是美國國家能源安全的重要組成部分，在緊急情況或地緣政治不確定的情況下提供緩沖。然而，不斷變化的全球形勢(shì)、地緣政治沖突以及現(xiàn)有油田的日趨成熟，促使美國政府尋求替代來源，以補(bǔ)充其戰(zhàn)略石油儲(chǔ)備。

圭亞那蓬勃發(fā)展的石油工業(yè)為美國多樣化能源組合提供了一個(gè)獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì)。圭亞那有利的投資條件使其成為有吸引力的能源合作目的地。此外，圭亞那原油儲(chǔ)量的特點(diǎn)是含硫量低，符合美國對(duì)清潔燃料的偏好。

地理位置接近是圭亞那原油對(duì)美國吸引力增強(qiáng)的另一個(gè)優(yōu)勢(shì)。圭亞那位于美國墨西哥灣沿岸附近，可以提供物流優(yōu)勢(shì)，包括降低運(yùn)輸成本和縮短運(yùn)輸距離。這一地理位置確保了圭亞那原油快速高效地運(yùn)送到美國煉油廠，進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)美國的能源安全。

圭亞那目前的原油儲(chǔ)量為110億桶。到2027年前，圭亞那原油日產(chǎn)量可能達(dá)到驚人的130萬桶，使該國成為該地區(qū)最大的原油生產(chǎn)國之一。

US to purchase another 6 million barrels of oil to add to strategic reserve replenishment

The US Department of Energy is seeking another six million barrels of oil to add to its Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) replenishment. By August, the DOE’s total purchase will stand at 12 million barrels, according to a July 7 notice. 

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), a critical component of the nation’s energy security, provides a cushion during emergencies or geopolitical uncertainties. However, changing global dynamics, the war, and the maturity of existing oil fields have prompted the US government to seek alternative sources for replenishing its strategic reserves. 

Traditionally, the US has heavily relied on oil imports from politically volatile regions, particularly the Middle East.

Guyana’s burgeoning oil industry offers a unique opportunity for the United States to diversify its energy portfolio. Guyana’s favourable investment conditions make it an attractive destination for energy collaboration. Furthermore, the quality of Guyana’s oil reserves, characterised by low sulfur content, aligns with the US’s preference for cleaner fuels.

Geographical proximity is another advantage that strengthens the appeal of Guyana’s oil for the US. Located near the US Gulf Coast, Guyana can offer logistical advantages, including reduced transportation costs and shorter shipping distances. This geographical proximity ensures the swift and efficient delivery of Guyanese oil to US refineries, further enhancing the nation’s energy security.

Guyana’s current oil reserves stand at 11 billion barrels. Output could reach a staggering 1.3 million barrels per day by 2027, catapulting the country to one of the largest producers in the region.
