📝 英文原文:
SummaryAmerica's key oil storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, is close to running dry amid a war with Iran.The facility holds just 21.6 million barrels, barely above the 20 million threshold where the system effectively fails.Industry leaders warn prices could rise toward $160 per barrel or higher if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.Cushing, Oklahoma, dubs itself the pipeline crossroads of the world. The tagline is emblazoned on a giant roadside sign fashioned out of pipes on the corner of Main Street and South Stiles Road. It has a valve and everything.But it’s not just a slogan.In 1912, Tom Slick (his real name) was passing through what’s now Drumright, Oklahoma, when he smelled oil. He bought the land for $1 an acre and started digging, uncovering what was then Oklahoma’s biggest oil well.Today, neighboring Cushing is the hub of America’s energy market. It literally provides the oil plumbing for the United States. It’s where America’s benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil is priced and warehoused. From there, it’s piped to refineries around the country.In normal times, Cushing stores around 40 million barrels of oil with capacity of up to 75 million.These are not normal times.Why Cushing is running out of oilA pipeline sign reads "Cushing Okla - Pipeline Crossroad of the World" in Oklahoma on May 4, 2020.Johannes Eisele/AFP/Getty ImagesCushing’s current inventory is 21.6 million barrels, according to the US Energy Information Administration.That’s dangerously close to operational stress levels, the tipping point at which Cushing struggles to supply all of its customers with the oil they demand.When Cushing’s reserves get below 20 million, they effectively hit empty, scraping the bottom of the barrel of what is largely unusable sludge.And when Cushing runs empty, strange things happen to the oil market.Unless the Strait of Hormuz opens soon –very soon– we’re probably just weeks away from finding out what that looks

摘要美国俄克拉荷马州库欣的主要石油储存中心在与伊朗的战争中接近枯竭。该设施仅储存 2160 万桶,仅略高于系统有效失效的 2000 万桶阈值。行业领袖警告称,如果霍尔木兹海峡继续关闭,价格可能会上涨至每桶 160 美元或更高。CNN 编辑审查了人工智能生成的摘要。俄克拉荷马州库欣将自己称为世界管道十字路口。标语印在巨大的路边
