US DOE to make monthly solicitations to refill the SPR through at least May

21 Oct 2023

The US Department of Energy is ramping up efforts to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by posting monthly solicitations for oil for the next six months and by increasing the maximum price it will pay to $79/b.


The department had previously said it would look to refill the SPR when WTI crude oil was at or below $67-$72/b, but the new price is still below current prices.

똥꼬메리카가 바닥난 전략비축유 다시 채운다고 정한 매입 상한선이 $72 였는데 이걸 $79로 올렸음.


근데 이 가격으로도 매입은 힘들테니 또 쳐올리겠지.


문제는 저 전략비축유를 다시 채우려는 계획의 데드라인이 내년 5월쯤이라는건데...

결국 내년 상반기까진 전략비축유에 의한 유가 안정이 없을테니 유가가 떨어질 일도 없다는 뜻이겠지.
