RE:RE:EIA:First net crude build in a long time, +1.3mmbblsA perfect storm this week. It will even out.
BP Whiting was down, less crude being run in PADDII.
Large increase in imports.
Large decrease in exports.
Big draws from SPR going into commercial inventory.
Back to school and the end of summer driving season is usually a build, no surprise to that.
Here's the chart. Truth is the top one. Market is trading off the bottom one. Wait till the market sees the second chart they have been following once the SPR ends in October. We will learn how hockey sticks are made.

Leaving aside the huge SPR release as a given for the next 7 or 8 weeks, do you have a possible explanation as to the weekly surplus?
Seasonal? Shutdowns? Higher production? Lower exports?
Or is it ridiculous to talk about a 1.3mbbl surplus in light of a 7.5mmbbl SPR release. It seems to me that the SPR releases are so overwhelming that they completely negate any weekly usage.
