美国计划通过"互换"释放4000万桶战略石油储备

美国能源部发布邀约公告，拟通过"互换"方式向市场释放4000万桶战略石油储备。1参与此项计划的企业需在近期内提交提议，联邦政府预计在11月和12月分批交付原油。1根据协议安排，企业最早可从2027年4月开始归还原油，最晚截止日期为2029年年底。1

能源部长赖特表示，"美国继续引领协调一致的努力，以稳定石油市场"，同时敦促欧洲成员国履行其相关承诺。1此前，美国联邦政府曾在3月11日宣布将在约120天内释放1.72亿桶战略石油储备。1

The U.S. Department of Energy has issued a solicitation inviting companies to participate in a swap arrangement for releasing 40 million barrels of strategic petroleum reserves into the market 1. Participating enterprises are required to submit their proposals in the near term, with the federal government scheduled to deliver crude oil in batches during November and December 1. Companies would be able to begin replenishing the reserves as early as April 2027, with the repayment deadline extending until the end of 2029 1.

Energy Secretary Wright stated that this initiative aims to stabilize the petroleum market, while also urging European member states to fulfill their respective commitments 1. The announcement builds on an earlier March 11 declaration in which the United States committed to releasing 172 million barrels of strategic petroleum reserves over approximately 120 days 1.
