美国原油交割中心库存告急

Odaily Odaily reports that inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil delivery hub are critically low, nearing operational limits. As the Middle East conflict continues to disrupt global energy supplies, the Cushing hub normally holds about 40 million barrels of oil, with a maximum storage capacity of 75 million barrels. However, the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that local inventories have fallen to 21.6 million barrels, just slightly above the industry-wide operating alert level of approximately 20 million barrels.
