Weekly EIA Petroleum Report -- June 8, 2022

Link here.

  • US crude oil in storage stands at 416.8 million bbls; still way more than we need.
  • US crude oil increased by 2.0 million bbls. WTI steady after report released.
  • US crude oil imports averaged 6.2 million bopd; down by 64,000 bpd; over the four-week period, imports up 1.9% compared to a year earlier (yawn).
  • US refiners operating at 94.2% of their operable capacity -- this is a huge story. I hope it's not all due to refiners being forced to blend ethanol; if so, the number is worthless.
  • US distillate inventories increased by 2.6 million bbls; inventories 23% below five-year average.
  • US jet fuel supplied was up 26.5% compared to a year ago, but we need to see comparison with 2019.

All-in-all, a ho-hum report. At best it doesn't detract from bull case but certainly doesn't do much more than that.

Refiners:

  • MPC hit an intra-day 52-week high yesterday and again today in early trading (folks may want to fact-check that).
  • Valero: ditto
  • PSC: ditto
  • COP: ditto
  • XOM: ditto
  • CVX: ditto
