據(jù)《美洲潤(rùn)滑油周刊》6月8日消息，與2021年同期相比，2022年第一季度美國(guó)潤(rùn)滑油基礎(chǔ)油出口有所增長(zhǎng)，這主要得益于對(duì)加拿大的出口增長(zhǎng)。進(jìn)口也有所上升，因?yàn)閬?lái)自韓國(guó)和印尼的進(jìn)口增加，幫助抵消了來(lái)自卡塔爾的進(jìn)口下降。

美國(guó)能源情報(bào)署的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，今年前三個(gè)月，作為世界上最大基礎(chǔ)油出口國(guó)之一的美國(guó)向外國(guó)出口了890萬(wàn)桶基礎(chǔ)油，高于去年第一季度的880萬(wàn)桶。

美國(guó)進(jìn)口的基礎(chǔ)油通常只有出口的一半，甚至更少，其中大部分是III類基礎(chǔ)油。第一季度美國(guó)基礎(chǔ)油進(jìn)口量為390萬(wàn)桶，高于2021年同期的380萬(wàn)桶。韓國(guó)的供應(yīng)量最大，為95.3萬(wàn)桶，高于2021年第一季度的74.1萬(wàn)桶，但仍顯著低于2018年第一季度的160萬(wàn)桶峰值。SK潤(rùn)滑油和S-Oil是韓國(guó)最大的基礎(chǔ)油出口商。

U.S. Exports, imports Up in First Quarter

base oil exports from the United States rose during the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period of 2021, on the strength of increased sales into Canada. imports were also up as higher volumes from South Korea and Indonesia helped offset a decline from Qatar.

The U.S., one of the world’s largest base oil exporters, sent 8.9 million barrels to foreign countries during the first three months of this year, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, up from 8.8 million barrels during the first quarter of last year. 

The U.S. typically imports half as much base oil as it exports, or less, and most of the volume is Group III. First quarter imports were 3.9 million barrels, up from 3.8 million barrels during the same period of 2021. South Korea supplied the largest share – 953,000 barrels, which was up from 741,000 barrels during the first quarter of 2021 but still significantly lower than the recent first quartile peak of 1.6 million barrels in 2018. SK Lubricants and S-Oil are the biggest South Korean exporters.
