The API numbers do not include any draws on the SPR. For this reason, the Crude inventories do not reflect the increasing shortage of production !! For the EIA numbers tomorrow, the effect of SPR releases will be shown at the URL listed below https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_sndw_dcus_nus_w.htm

I thought I read the spr release starts the 18th and runs 6 months from there. Last of the russian ships off loaded on the 17th, they were in transit and not affected by the ban.

Correct, but there are still transfers being done in accordance with prior purchase/sales We will see tomorrow how much (if any) BTW I expect the current P/S will extend way past 6 months at a much slower rate than Biden indicated

Prior to Biden’s announcement last week, the U.S. released 30 million barrels of oil in March from the reserves.

According to the data supplied by the EIA , as of Mar 25 there were 568.322 million barrels in the SPR. On Feb 25 there were 580.020 million barrels. Thus the drawdown rate was 11.698 million barrels divide by 28 day or 418 kbpd !! A long way off of a million !! Not a very good idea to heed the blathering words of politicians IMHO !! So sad that our mostly inaffective media lets this go on.
