EIA Confirms Record 17.8 Million-Barrel Draw in US Crude Including SPR

businessenergy-marketsoil 46 posts · 16 accounts

The Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. crude inventories, including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, fell by a record 17.783 million barrels last week, as commercial crude stocks dropped 7.863 million barrels and the SPR shrank by 9.920 million. On that combined basis, it was the largest weekly decline in data dating back to 1982, while the SPR posted its biggest one-week draw on both an absolute and percentage basis.

The official figures followed earlier industry data that had pointed to a sharp inventory decline. Separate EIA demand data indicated U.S. consumption remained firm even with oil above $100 a barrel, with total products supplied averaging 20.2 million barrels a day over the past four weeks, up 3.1% from a year earlier.

The US SPR emergency drawdown rate broke above 1.2 million barrels per day (MMbpd) for the first time two weeks ago. Last week, it just broke above 1.4 MMbpd. Going to be a year of many, many records being broken in the oil market.

@gasbuddyguy

as the SPR drops and more oil is sold overseas, U.S. inventories are now drawing at very fast levels- WTI crude oil now up $3.41/bbl to $109/bbl as more US inventory heads overseas. looking for record US oil and refined exports again this w

@gasbuddyguy

breakdown of SPR drop over the last week- heavily skewing to the preferred heavy/sour oil

@gasbuddyguy

RECORD: the Strategic Petroleum Reserve just fell by its largest ever weekly amount: almost 10 million barrels. Total SPR now at under 375 million barrels.

@macroedgeres

Largest weekly drawdown from the SPR… on record!

@hfi_research

API undercounted the draws last week, so EIA will report lower draws for the 3 below. Crude is between -7 to -8. Gasoline will be slightly lower.

@tomkloza

SPR drawdown of nearly 10-million barrels of crude will dominate tomorrow's EIA report. API showing a 5.8-million barrel draw in gasoline could spook those RBOB sellers this week. Distillate draw of ~1-million bbl puts us closer to pivotal
