The US Department of Energy has announced plans to release an additional 13.4 million barrels of oil from the country's strategic reserves. The release of reserves will be distributed among seven companies: Shell will buy 4.2 million barrels, Trafigura – 3 million, Phillips 66 Company – 2.3 million, Macquarie Commodities Trading – 2 million, Chevron – 0.885 million, ExxonMobil – 0.515 million and BP Products North America – 0.5 million barrels. Recall that US President Joe Biden in November 2021 announced the release of 50 million barrels of oil from reserves due to high oil prices in the world and gasoline in the States themselves. The first deliveries were made in December, and the rest will be carried out gradually until April. The return of reserves to the strategic reserve is planned for 2022-2024. Today, oil quotes are showing growth again. The current Brent quote is $88.00 per barrel. Raw materials are getting more expensive after the release of yesterday's report from the American Petroleum Institute (API), according to which stocks decreased by 872 thousand barrels after rising by 1.4 million barrels a week earlier. Today, we should pay attention to similar statistics from the US Department of Energy. Experts expect that oil reserves in the country decreased by 2.1 million barrels last week, gasoline reserves increased by 2.2 million barrels, and distillate reserves decreased by 1.6 million barrels.
