油價下跌促使美國煉油企業增加購買CPC混合原油
中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社7月24日紐約/倫敦報道，市場消息人士和湯森路透航運數據顯示，在6月份當油價接近6年低點時大肆搶購原油貨物以后，美國煉油企業7月份將從里海地區進口創紀錄的月度原油數量。
這個異乎尋常大量原油數量是美國大量頁巖油流向海外市場造成國際石油貿易諸多變化之一。
美國對歐洲和亞洲創紀錄的原油出口壓低了類似石油的價格，比如哈薩克斯坦和俄羅斯里海附近生產的原油，這些原油通過里海管道財團（CPC）的管道被輸送到地中海。
根據湯森路透的統計數據，依賴原油進口的美國東海岸煉油企業已購買了370萬桶CPC原油中的大部分原油，這些原油將于7月份運抵美國。

U.S. refiners boost purchases of CPC Blend to record as prices drop
U.S. refiners will import a record monthly volume of crude from the Caspian region in July after snapping up the cargoes when prices reached near six-year lows, according to market sources and Thomson Reuters shipping data.
The unusually large volume of crude is one of many changes in the international oil trade caused by a flood of U.S. shale oil headed overseas.
Record exports of crude from the United States to Europe and Asia have pushed down the price of comparable oil, such as the crude produced near the Caspian in Kazakhstan and Russia. That oil is pumped through the CPC pipeline and loaded in the Mediterranean.
U.S. East Coast refiners, which rely on crude imports, have bought most of the 3.7 million barrels of CPC crude that will reach the United States in July, according to the Thomson Reuters data.
