据道琼斯5月20日消息,美国能源信息署(EIA)表示,在裂解差价(汽油批发价格和原油价格之间的差距)进一步扩大的情况下,美国炼油商尤其是东海岸炼油商的赢利前景看好。EIA表示,今年4月份,纽约港的汽油批发价格为1.79美元/加仑,而布伦特现货石油价格为1.41美元/加仑。38美分/加仑的裂解差价是自2007年以来同期最高的水平。EIA称,导致美国炼油商4月份赢利能力创下过去8年来同期新高的主要原因,是原油价格较低以及美国汽油消费量和出口量表现强劲。

EIA: Refiners' April Margin Hit 8-Year Highk
Profits for refiners, especially those on the East Coast, are looking good amid wider crack spreads (the gap between wholesale gasoline prices and crude), says the EIA. Last month, wholesale gasoline was $1.79/gallon in New York Harbor while Brent crude spot oil was $1.41/ gallon. That 38c crack spread was the best for April since 2007, the EIA says. Why the big chasm? Mostly, the mix of low crude prices and strong US gasoline usage and exports.
