能源部授权战略石油储备紧急交换40万桶原油：供 Phillips 66 位于 Lake Charles 的炼油厂
美国能源部（DOE）10月23日在华盛顿宣布，授权从战略石油储备（SPR）紧急交换最高40万桶原油，以应对 Phillips 66 公司位于路易斯安那州 Lake Charles 的炼油厂遭遇的原油供应中断。能源部说，这批原油将从 West Hackberry 储备点立即交付。
按交换条款，借出的原油须全数归还，并额外返还溢价桶数。能源部表示，这将使战略石油储备在不增加纳税人成本的情况下得到补充和加强。
能源部副部长 Kyle Haustveit 说：「通过这次交换，能源部正采取果断行动支持炼油厂运营、维持燃料供应稳定，确保所有美国人继续获得他们依赖的负担得起、可靠、安全的能源。」他还说，这次紧急交换有助于缓解供应中断，并要求 Phillips 66 归还的桶数多于当前提取的桶数，为纳税人节省数百万美元。
能源部说，这批供应将帮助抵消影响该炼油厂原油交付的临时中断，支持其继续生产服务于路易斯安那州及周边市场的交通燃料。能源部还表示，将继续与行业伙伴合作维护燃料供应链稳定，并随时准备在适当情况下动用相关授权，支持能源可靠交付、保护美国能源安全。

Energy Department Authorizes Emergency SPR Exchange of Up to 400,000 Barrels for Phillips 66 Lake Charles Refinery
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced in Washington on October 23 that it has authorized an emergency exchange of up to 400,000 barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to address a crude oil supply disruption affecting the Phillips 66 Lake Charles Refinery in Louisiana. DOE said the crude will be delivered immediately from the West Hackberry SPR site.
Under the terms of the exchange, all borrowed crude oil will be returned with additional premium barrels. DOE said the arrangement will help replenish and strengthen the SPR at no additional cost to taxpayers.
DOE Under Secretary of Energy Kyle Haustveit said: "With this exchange, the Energy Department is taking definitive action to support refinery operations, maintain stable fuel supplies, and ensure all Americans continue to have access to the affordable, reliable, and secure energy they rely on every day." He said the emergency exchange helps alleviate the supply disruption and requires Phillips 66 to return more barrels to the SPR than are currently being withdrawn, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.
DOE said the supply will help offset temporary disruptions affecting crude oil deliveries to the refinery and support continued production of transportation fuels serving Louisiana and surrounding markets. The department said it will continue working with industry partners to help ensure stability across the fuel supply chain and stands ready to use available authorities, as appropriate, to support reliable energy delivery and protect U.S. energy security.
