據(jù)油價網(wǎng)7月25日報道，美國將按計劃在今年秋天結(jié)束戰(zhàn)略石油儲備（SPR）的釋放。

白宮國際能源事務(wù)總裁專門協(xié)調(diào)員Amos Hochstein告訴雅虎財經(jīng)，美國戰(zhàn)略石油儲備創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的原油釋放將于今年秋天如期結(jié)束。

“我們不能成為石油供應(yīng)商。這是一種儲備，所以我們必須保留它”，Hochstein并不認(rèn)為SPR釋放的結(jié)束會導(dǎo)致油價飆升。

并補(bǔ)充道，預(yù)計這不會導(dǎo)致價格飆升，因為石油行業(yè)已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備在SPR釋放結(jié)束后增產(chǎn)。

Hochstein稱，目前對石油市場的分析有點歇斯底里，他已經(jīng)與石油公司進(jìn)行了對話，得到他們的承諾，他們將增加產(chǎn)量，以取代目前從SPR中釋放出來的石油。

根據(jù)今年4月公布的計劃，戰(zhàn)略石油儲備將以每天100萬桶的速度釋放1.8億桶原油，以應(yīng)對市場緊張之下油價的無情上漲。據(jù)報道，其中一些石油最終出口，包括出口到亞洲。

當(dāng)該計劃宣布時，有人警告稱，它可能會產(chǎn)生事與愿違的效果，推高而不是壓低價格，因為在這一大規(guī)模釋放之后，SPR將需要補(bǔ)充。

目前，美國的油價和汽油價格都在下降，但這與SPR的釋放關(guān)系不大，而是因為人們擔(dān)心美聯(lián)儲將再次大幅加息，這可能反過來導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)增長放緩，供應(yīng)環(huán)境依然緊張。

然而，Hochstein表示，這種情況可能會改變，他告訴雅虎財經(jīng)，幾位石油行業(yè)的CEO已經(jīng)向他保證，到今年年底，他們將把日產(chǎn)量提高80萬桶至100萬桶。

U.S. SPR Releases Set To End This Fall

The U.S. will end SPR releases as scheduled this fall.

Special Coordinator Hochstein: "We can't be an oil supplier. It's a reserve and so we have to keep that,"

Hochstein doesn't expect end of SPR releases to result in oil price spikes.

The record-high release of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve will end as scheduled this fall, the White House's Special Presidential Coordinator for International Energy Affairs Amos Hochstein told Yahoo Finance.

"We can't be an oil supplier. It's a reserve and so we have to keep that," Hochstein said, adding that he did not expect this to lead to price spikes because the oil industry was already preparing to increase production once the SPR release ended.

"There's a little bit of hysteria at the moment in the analysis of oil markets," Hochstein said, adding that he had had conversations with oil companies and had their word they would increase production to replace the oil that is currently coming out of the SPR.

The plan, announced in April, saw a total of 180 million barrels of crude being released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to counter the inexorable increase in oil prices amid a tight market, at a rate of some 1 million bpd. Some of that oil reportedly ended up getting exported, including to Asia.

When the plan was announced, there were warnings that it could backfire, pushing prices higher instead of lower because the SPR would need to be replenished after this substantial draw.

Currently, oil prices—and gasoline prices in the U.S.—are down, but this has less to do with the SPR release than with worry that the Fed will hike rates again and more sharply, which could in turn lead to a slowdown in economic growth. The supply environment remains tight.

This might change, however, according to Hochstein, who told Yahoo Finance that several oil industry CEOs had assured him that they will be boosting production by a combined 800,000 bpd to 1 million bpd by the end of the year.
