据今日油价1月8日报道，能源信息署报告新年第一周的原油库存增加了120万桶，原油价格进一步下跌。

能源信息署报告新年第一周的原油库存增加了120万桶，原油价格进一步下跌。

这一增加是在EIA报告前一周减少1150万桶之后。分析师此前预计，在截至1月3日的一周中，减少406.40万桶。

当局还报告称，汽油库存增加了910万桶，报告期内燃料日均产量为890万桶。相比之下，前一周库存增加了320万桶，日均产量为1020万桶。

馏分燃料，EIA报告库存增加530万桶，日均产量为530万桶。相比之下，一周前的馏出燃料库存量增加880万桶，日均产量为530万桶。

上周，炼油厂每日加工1,690万桶的原油，而前一周为1,730万桶。日均进口量为670万桶，高于一周前的640万桶。

原油产量在2019年最后两周的日均1290万桶-创纪录的高水平-在1月的第一周也可能保持不变，因为页岩钻探者在面临范围内的价格时开始对产量增长采取更谨慎的立场。

现在的价格表明，如果中东的敌对行动进一步升级，它们可能会超出其价格范围，因此，页岩钻井公司正争先恐后地以较高的价格对冲2020年和2021年的石油产量。

Oil Falls Further On Bearish Inventory Data

Crude oil prices fell further after the Energy Information Administration reported a crude oil inventory build of 1.2 million barrels for the first week of the new year.

The build follows a hefty 11.5-million-barrel draw reported by the EIA for the previous week. For this week, analyst had expected a draw of 4.064 million barrels for the week to January 3.

The authority also reported a 9.1-million-barrel inventory increase in gasoline stockpiles, with production of the fuel averaging 8.9 million bpd during the reporting period. This compares with an inventory rise of 3.2 million barrels for the previous week and average production of 10.2 million bpd.

In distillate fuels, the EIA reported an inventory build of 5.3 million barrels, with production averaging 5.3 million bpd. This compares with a build of 8.8 million barrels in distillate fuel inventories and average daily production of 5.3 million bpd a week earlier.

Refineries processed 16.9 million bpd of crude oil last week, compared with 17.3 million bpd a week earlier. Imports averaged 6.7 million bpd, up from 6.4 million bpd a week earlier.

Crude oil production, which in the last two weeks of 2019 averaged 12.9 million bpd—a record high—may have remained flat during the first week of January, too, as shale drillers began adopting a more cautious stance on production growth in the face of range-bound prices.

Now that prices are indicating they may break out of their range if the hostilities in the Middle East escalate further, shale drillers are rushing to hedge their 2020 and 2021 oil output at the higher prices.
