据今日油价网站1月26日消息 美国政府已批准从战略石油储备中再释放1340万桶原油，这是白宫去年11月首次宣布的一项举措，旨在缓解燃料价格上涨的压力。
彭博社报道称，此次释放将在七家公司中分发，并指出这将是史上第二次大规模战略石油储备释放，使迄今为止的总释放量达到4000万桶。
11月，美国能源部表示，将从战略石油储备中释放5000万桶石油，其中3200万桶将在未来几个月以交换的形式释放，释放出未来几年必须返回战略石油储备。另外1800万桶将是国会此前批准的石油销售在未来几个月内的加速。
在这次最新发布之前，能源部分三次发布了来自战略石油储备的约1000万桶原油。
能源部在12月底表示：“与所有交易所一样，通过交易所接收战略石油储备原油的公司同意返还收到的原油数量，以及额外数量，具体取决于它们持有原油的时间长短。”
尽管战略石油储备做出了释放努力，但天然气价格并没有达到白宫想要的水平。根据CNBC最近的一份报告，在过去的12个月里，价格上涨了约50%，而且随着通货膨胀的加剧，短期内大幅下跌的可能性非常小。

U.S. Releases Another 13.4 Million Barrels From SPR
The U.S. administration has approved the release of another 13.4 million barrels of crude from the strategic petroleum reserve in a move first announced last November by the White House as an attempt to ease upward pressure on fuel prices.
Bloomberg reported the release will be distributed among seven companies, noting that this would be the second-largest SPR release ever, bringing the total released so far to 40 million barrels.
In November, the Department of Energy said it would make available releases of 50 million barrels from the SPR, of which 32 million barrels were to be in the form of an exchange over the next several months, releasing oil that must be returned to the SPR in the years ahead. Another 18 million barrels were to be an acceleration into the next several months of a sale of oil that Congress had previously authorized.
Before this latest release, the Department of Energy distributed about 10 million barrels of crude from the SPR in three releases.
“As with all exchanges, companies that receive SPR crude oil through the exchange agree to return the amount of crude oil received, as well as an additional amount, dependent upon the length of time in which they hold the oil,” the DoE said in late December.
Despite the SRP release effort, gas prices are not where the White House would want them to be. Over the past 12 months, prices at the pump have gained some 50 percent, per a recent CNBC report, and with inflation running hot, the chances of them declining in any substantial way anytime soon are quite slim.
