據世界能源網站12月13日報道，美國能源部周五表示，將于12月17日出售戰略石油儲備中的1800萬桶原油，作為此前宣布的降低油價計劃的一部分。

美國上個月宣布，將與其他國家一起從儲備中釋放約5000萬桶石油，以應對不斷上漲的燃料成本。

11月，由于全球燃料需求激增，油價升至每桶86美元以上的七年高點。

將要出售的1800萬桶石油已經得到國會的批準。剩余的桶數將在未來幾個月通過與市場的交易所發行。

U.S. to Sell 18 mln Barrels of Oil from Reserves on Dec 17

The U.S. Department of Energy said on Friday it will sell 18 million barrels of crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve on Dec. 17, as part of a previously announced plan to cool oil prices.

The Administration announced last month it would release about 50 million barrels from its reserves in conjunction with other countries to combat the rising cost of fuel.

Oil prices rose to seven-year highs at more than $86 a barrel in November due to surging fuel demand worldwide.

The 18 million barrels to be sold had already been approved by Congress . The remaining barrels will be issued in coming months through an exchange with the market.
