炼油厂供应收紧导致美国汽油价格继续上涨

据普氏能源资讯8月31日纽约报道，由于位于美国墨西哥湾沿岸和大西洋沿岸被飓风哈维关闭的炼油厂收紧供应，美国汽油价格周四（31日）继续上涨。

周四，纽约商品交易所9月份无铅汽油（RBOB）结算价为每加仑2.1399美元，每加仑上涨了25.52美分，无铅汽油价格自8 月22日德州炼油厂在飓风哈维来临之前开始关闭以来每加仑已上涨了50多美分。

纽约的实物价格也随之上涨。标准普尔全球普氏能源资讯把周四纽约驳船交付无铅汽油的价格评估在比10月份无铅汽油合同每加仑溢价44美分，比周三溢价每加仑上涨了14美分。

Colonial管道——其从休斯顿到新泽西州林登的1号线每天可以运送137万桶汽油——说汽油交付将“断断续续以及依赖于炼油厂的供应。”

德克萨斯州每天大约304万桶的炼油产能仍被关闭，占到美国总炼油产能的16%。

Gasoline prices soar on Harvey-related outages

US gasoline prices continued to rise Thursday as downed refineries tightened supplies in the US Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast.

NYMEX September RBOB settled at $2.1399/gal Thursday, up 25.52 cents/gal, and up more than 50 cents from August 22, before Texas coastal refineries began shutting down ahead of Harvey.

Physical New York prices were higher as well. New York barge delivery RBOB was assessed by S&P Global Platts at a 44-cent/gal premium to the October RBOB contract, compared with a 30-cent/gal premium Wednesday.

Colonial Pipeline, which is able to ship 1.37 million b/d of gasoline o//n its Line 1 from Houston to Linden, New Jersey, said deliveries will be "intermittent and dependent on refinery supply."

Roughly 3.04 million b/d of refining capacity remains down in Texas, or 16% of US capacity.
