One word of caution that these numbers look suspect too like last week. There is some fuzzy accounting going on at EIA. However, I am just here to report what they publish. I would have no idea on how to untangle their irregularities.
The EIA published its Weekly Petroleum Status Report. Here are some highlights. All items are in millions of barrels per day except inventories, which is billions total. Dates are defined as week ending averages, except utilization rate which is a four week ending average. The full report can be found here.
| Item | 5/14/21 | 5/7/21 |
|---|---|---|
| Refinery Utilization Rate % | 86.1 | 85.7 |
| Petroleum Inventories | 1.914 | 1.916 |
| Crude Oil Production | 11 | 11 |
| Crude Oil Exports | 3.3 | 2.5 |
| Natural Gas Liquids Production | 4.2 | 5.2 |
| Gross Refinery Input | 15.6 | 15.5 |
