At This Rate, 63 Weeks To Re-Balance -- June 14, 2017

US crude oil inventories dropped 1.7 million bbls to 511.5 million bbls.

Average drawdown over past seven weeks: 2.6 million bbls/week.

At this rate, to get to "historical" average of 350 million bbls / 21 days of supply, it will take 63 weeks to "re-balance." (Update: methodology was wrong in some parts of this table; it has been updated and corrected at this post):

Reminder: the drawdown is a positive number (column 3). If there was a build, then that will show as a negative number. In week 6, there was an unexpected build of 3.3 million bbls of US crude oil inventories.
