反欧佩克法案或挤压美国石油工业

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月11日报道称,最近美国国会对欧佩克的倾斜可能会适得其反。一名沙特阿拉伯记者的失踪为一项旧法案注入新的活力,该法案将使欧佩克受制于美国反托拉斯法。有影响力的共和党人和民主党人都支持它,它可以成为威胁的目的。但美国生产商也受益于欧佩克通过抑制石油供应来维持价格上涨。 美国的政策已经引发了问题。达拉斯联邦储备银行本月早些时候发布的一项调查显示,能源行业的商业活动在第三季度有所下滑。超过一半的受访高管表示,钢铁关税是一个特别令人担忧的问题。它们增加了油井的成本,也影响了输油管道的建设,这是推高行业成本的另一个因素。大多数高管担心,直到明年年底或之后,基础设施瓶颈才会得以解决。 徐蕾 摘译自 路透社 原文如下: Anti-OPEC bill may squeeze U.S. oil industry The U.S. Congress’s latest tilt at OPEC could backfire. The disappearance of a Saudi Arabian journalist is breathing new life into an old bill that would subject the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to U.S. antitrust law. Influential Republicans and Democrats support it, and it could serve its purpose as a threat. But U.S. producers benefit from OPEC keeping prices up by curbing the oil supply, too. U.S. policy is already causing problems. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published a survey earlier this month showing that business activity across the energy sector dipped in the third quarter. More than half the responding executives said steel tariffs specifically were a concern. They are adding costs to wells and also affect the construction of pipelines to transport oil, another constraint pushing up the industry’s costs. The majority of executives worry the infrastructure bottleneck won’t be cleared up until late next year or beyond.
