据《美洲润滑油周刊》4月6日消息，美国一家政府机构上周报告称，与去年同期相比，1月份美国基础油产量下降了10%以上，比2020年1月下降了8%。

美国能源情报署(EIA)的数据显示，1月份美国炼油商的基础油产量为460万桶，而去年1月份和2020年同期分别为520万桶和500万桶。1月份的产量较去年12月的530万桶下降了13%。

就过去几年的1月份产量而言，460万桶是自2013年1月份以来的最低水平。

1月份美国石蜡基基础油产量同比下降11%至390万桶，也比2020年同期减少了8%。这是自去年3月的370万桶以来的最低水平，也是自那以后石蜡基基础油产量首次降至400万桶以下。

1月份美国石蜡基基础油产量为390万桶，是自2013年1月的370万桶以来的1月份最低水平。1月份环烷基基础油产量同比下降10%至71.6万桶，比2020年同期低5%。不过，今年1月的产量较去年12月的66.5万桶增长了8%，去年12月环烷基基础油产量是月度最低的。

U.S. base Oil Production Declines

United States base oil output declined more than 10% in January, compared to the same month last year, and was down 8% from January 2020, a U.S. government agency reported last week.

Refiners produced 4.6 million barrels in January, compared with 5.2 million barrels last January and 5 million in the same month of 2020, according to U.S. Energy Information Agency data. Sequentially, January’s volume was down 13% from 5.3 million barrels in December last year.

In terms of January production in past years, 4.6 million barrels was the lowest total since the same amount in January 2013.

Production of paraffinic base oils in the U.S. declined 11% to 3.9 million barrels in January and was also 8% less than in the same month in 2020. The January total was the lowest since 3.7 million barrels in March last year and marked the first time since then that paraffinic production had fallen below 4 million barrels.

The January paraffinic production of 3.9 million barrels was the lowest for the month since 3.7 million barrels in January 2013. Naphthenic base oil production declined 10% to 716,000 barrels in January and was 5% below the volume in the same month in 2020. However, this year’s January volume was up 8% from 665,000 barrels in December, which had the lowest monthly naphthenic production last year.
