Original Post

Weekly EIA petroleum report, link here.

  • US crude oil in storage decreased by a whopping 8.0 million bbls from the previous week;
  • US crude oil in storage now stands at 484.4 million bbls; about 7% above the already-fat five-year average;
  • refiners operating at 75.3 of their operable capacity;
  • distillate fuel inventories decreased by 1.6 million bbls; inventories are now about 18% above the five-year average;
  • US crude oil imports averaged 5.0 million bopd last week; really not much change in the big scheme of things;
  • jet fuel supplied was down 44.6% compared with same four-week period last year

Re-balancing: in the 100 weeks since continuous tracking on the blog began on November 21, 2018, reports on the following dates showed a decrease of 8.0 million bbls or more of crude oil in US storage:

  • June 26, 2019: a decrease of 12.8 million bbls (469.6 million bbls in storage)
  • January 3, 2020: 11.5 (429.9)
  • July 24, 2019: 10.8 (445.1)
  • July 29, 2020: 10.6 (526.0)
  • August 28, 2019: 10 (427.8)
  • March 20, 2019: 9.6 (439.5)

  • September 2, 2020 (9.4 (498.4)
  • February 27, 2019 (8.6 (445.9)

  1. I accidentally rejected this comment from John. Sorry.

    Here was John's comment.

    GOM had a a lot of shut-ins due to hurricane Zeta last week and net imports (exports) of crude oil and products was north of 5 million barrels. I see a balanced inventory situation not justifying the increase in crude price Typical week to week chart noise. Should have bought some USO for a 2-3 day hold.

    I agree completely.
