EIA weekly report, the last week of 2019, data for week ending December 27, 2019:
  • weekly draw: an incredible 11.5 million bbls of oil; I don't recall seeing a number this big; certainly not in recent memory;
  • US crude oil in storage: 429.9 million bbls; at the five-year average
  • refineries operating at 94.5% capacity which has been trending higher over the past few weeks
  • jet fuel supplied was up 10% compared with same four-week period last year

  1. i'm running late, so you might already have it that the big draw was due to record exports...a blowout, too: almost 900K bpd higher than the previous record..

    1. No, I did not have time to look for the reason for the big draw. Good, bad, or indifferent, one has to love huge exports resulting in huge draw. Seems like it's a win-win on so many levels. Thank you for pointing that out.
