The Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its weekly report today on the status of petroleum inventories in the United States. Here are some highlights: CRUDE OIL INVENTORIES: Crude oil inventories increased by 5.8 million barrels (MMbbl) to a total of 457.3 MMbbl. At 457.3 MMbbl, inventories are 13.3 MMbbl below last year (2.8%) and are 2% below the five-year average for this time of year. Inventories in Cushing, OK, the NYMEX delivery point, fell 0.2 million barrels to a total of 33.0 million barrels. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) rose 600,000 barrels from the prior week and stands at 364.2 million barrels, 1.4% below the year-ago level.
I’m a big fan of your work and since you are always soliciting feedback to improve… a few points below
1) seeing some of the demand/capacity utilization etc figures in a table format would be really helpful
2) also a comparison vs. LY especially in exports of products such as distillate in the same table format would also be helpful
I would be happy to pay and subscribe with these changes :)
