EIA Crude Imports by Country:
ery difficult to take these numbers at face value. US crude imports this week are at the lowest level since 1997 due to Keystone/USG Fog issues. Weeks like this makes it even more important to look at the 4wk average..
EIA Product Stats:
Small gasoline build of +0.4MM and distillate build of +1.2MM. Gasoline’s 10th weekly build in the last 11 weeks even when refinery dropped 865KBD and gasoline exports are high
EIA Crude Stats:
Crude Build +3.6MM as refinery runs dropped by 865kbd due to refinery maintenance. The number could have been very ugly, but a huge drop in crude imports helped. Crude imports down by 936KBD due to Houston Fog/Keystone issues.
