Refinitiv's oil commentary
US SPR Release Program
March 31st, President Biden announced he would release 1 Million barrels a day of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves for 180 days.
He was able to make this proclamation by pushing forward, into this 180 day period, every Congressionally approved release except the volumes from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act. This act also lowered the Congressionally mandated minimum SPR volumes to 254.2 Million barrels from 300 Million barrels.
This time frame is coming to an end. On average since May 1st , 873,000 barrels were released per day. This lower volume gives the President an incremental card to play before pushing forward the last remaining program release.
The volume the SPR will need to be above before the Infrastructure and Jobs Act volumes could be pushed forward is 341.8 Million barrels (254.2 + 21.9*4)
As you can see from the graph, President Biden will then be out of options for more SPR releases.
