Weekly Petroleum Report -- February 22, 2018; Re-Balancing Remains Unchanged; Gasoline Demand Remains Strong; Regular Gasoline In North Texas For $2.08 Easily Found

Weekly petroleum report data points:
  • US commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 1.6 million bbls; at 420.5 million bbls, inventories in the lower half of the average range for this time of the year
  • refineries operated at 88% of their operable capacity last week; wow -- way below potential
  • despite that refinery capacity report, gasoline production actually increased last week, slightly more than 10 million bbls/day
  • distillate fuel production decreased last week, averaging about 4.5 million bbls/day
  • products delivered: up significantly year-over-year

Re-balancing (again, lines 1 - 23 hidden; otherwise chart would be getting too long to post):
