美国能源信息署周四表示，受全球成品油供应紧张带来的强劲利润率支撑，美国炼厂今年保持了高于正常水平的开工率。
The US Energy Information Administration said on Thursday that US refiners have maintained higher-than-normal run rates this year, buoyed by strong margins stemming from tight global supplies of refined fuel products.
能源信息署称，5月至9月炼厂产能利用率平均超过95%，为1998年以来同期最高。
Refinery utilization has averaged more than 95% of capacity between May and September, the highest for those months since 1998, the EIA said.
能源信息署表示：“今年炼厂开工率的提升主要由全球馏分燃料油供应紧张驱动，导致国际上对美国馏分燃料油出口的需求强劲。”
"This year the refinery runs were driven largely by tight global supplies for distillate fuel oil, leading to high international demand for US distillate fuel oil exports," the EIA said.
由于伊朗战争和乌克兰袭击俄罗斯炼厂导致全球短缺，柴油价格创下历史新高。
Diesel prices have hit record highs due to a global shortage caused by the Iran war and Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries.
为提高产量，特朗普政府一直在劝说炼厂在价格飙升时生产更多柴油。
To ramp up production, the Trump administration has been coaxing refiners to produce more diesel as prices surge.
能源信息署称，自1991年以来，5月至9月美国炼厂产能利用率平均为92%，而其他七个月平均为88%。
US refinery utilization has averaged 92% from May to September since 1991, compared with 88% across the other seven months, the EIA said.
能源信息署表示，虽然炼厂产能利用率为1998年以来最高，但美国炼厂总产出仅为2019年以来最高，因为自那时起炼油产能已下降4%。
While refinery utilization was the highest since 1998, total US refinery output was the highest only since 2019 because refining capacity has decreased by 4% since then, the EIA said.
能源信息署称，10月前三周美国炼厂产能利用率虽从夏季高位回落，但仍高于五年（2021-2025年）季节性平均水平。
US refinery utilization in the first three weeks of October decreased from its summer highs but remained above the five-year (2021–2025) seasonal average, the EIA said.
