}Oil Inventory FAQ
Commercial crude oil inventories are stocks held by private companies (refineries, traders, etc.) for business purposes. This excludes the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is government-owned. Commercial stocks directly influence crude oil prices as they indicate supply/demand balance.
The EIA releases the Weekly Petroleum Status Report every Wednesday at 10:30 AM Eastern Time. This report includes commercial inventory levels, SPR stocks, and refinery inputs.
Days of supply measures how long current inventory would last at current refinery consumption rates. Higher days of supply indicates ample stocks; lower indicates tighter markets. The US typically maintains 25-35 days of crude supply.
PADD 3 (Gulf Coast) holds the largest share of US commercial crude inventories due to its concentration of refineries. Cushing, Oklahoma serves as the key hub for WTI crude delivery, making its storage levels particularly market-moving.
