Re-Balancing Down To 30 Weeks -- December 20, 2017

EIA announces a drawdown of 6.5 million bbls. US crude oil inventories now stand at 436.5 million bbls. Re-balancing is now down to 30 weeks. By the way, the drawdown was much greater than expected. Analysts expected a drawdown of  3.8 million bbls.
Other data from the weekly petroleum report:
  • refineries operated at 94.1% capacity, breaking the "94%" threshold for the first time in quite awhile
  • gasoline production still around 10 million bpd
  • distillate production still around 5 million bpd
  • total products supplied over last four-week period average just over 20 million bpd
  • we'll see the gasoline demand graph later today or tomorrow
