美国华盛顿,6月5日(路透社)——美国能源部长克里斯·赖特周五在接受福克斯商业频道采访时表示,近几个月从美国战略石油储备借入原油的企业,将在伊朗冲突结束后以溢价原油的形式额外偿还4000万桶原油。
自美以联军2月对伊朗发动战争以来,燃油价格大幅上涨,但赖特称他并不担心战略石油储备的库存水平。目前战略石油储备库存为3.571亿桶,已降至两年多来的最低水平。

“我并不担心,因为我们没有出售任何一桶原油,我们只是在市场需要的短期内向市场投放原油,并对这些原油进行交易,”赖特在福克斯商业频道的“瓦尼与公司”节目中说道。
美国能源部正从位于德克萨斯州和路易斯安那州的地下洞穴储备中,向企业出借约1.33亿桶原油,企业将以原油形式偿还,溢价最高可达24%。该部门表示,这一体系将在不花费美国纳税人一分钱的前提下帮助稳定市场。
“我们每投放出去一桶原油,明年就能收回1.25桶。在这场冲突结束后,我们将在不花费纳税人一分钱的前提下,向战略石油储备额外补充4000万桶原油,相关协议已经敲定,”他说道。
这些出借原油的举措是3月份与国际能源署成员国达成的更广泛协议的一部分。该协议约定从国际储备中释放最多4亿桶原油,以在霍尔木兹海峡关闭以及能源设施遇袭后,帮助稳定全球石油市场。
战争已导致海湾产油国每日约1400万桶原油供应中断,国际能源署本周警告称,紧急库存释放只是权宜之计,无法解决供应损失问题。

WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) – Companies that borrowed oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve in recent months will add back an extra 40 million barrels of crude in the form of premiums after the conflict in Iran is over, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Friday in an interview on Fox Business.
Fuel prices have spiked since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began in February, but Wright said he is not worried about stock levels in the SPR, which at 357.1 million barrels have sunk to the lowest levels in more than two years.

“I’m not concerned, because we’re not selling any barrels of oil, we’re flowing oil to the marketplace in the short term when it needs it, and we’re trading those barrels,” Wright said on Fox Business’ “Varney & Company” program.
The DOE is loaning about 133 million barrels of oil from the SPR, which is held in underground caverns in Texas and Louisiana, to companies that will repay in crude, with premiums of up to 24%. The department says that system will help stabilize markets at no cost to U.S. taxpayers.
“Each barrel we flow out, we’re getting 1.25 barrels back next year. We’re going to add 40 million barrels to the SPR after this conflict is over, at no cost to the taxpayer, with deals already made,” he said.
The loans are part of a wider deal struck in March with countries in the International Energy Agency to release up to 400 million barrels from international reserves to help calm global oil markets after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy facilities.
Some 14 million barrels per day of oil have been lost from Gulf producers due to the war and the IEA warned this week that emergency stock releases are temporary and not a solution to supply losses.
