Americans are doing everything they can to drain oil inventories

HOUSTON (Bloomberg) -- There’s a loud sucking sound coming from the depths of oil storage tanks across the United States.

The combined effort of American drivers, gung-ho refiners and exporters are starting to reduce the nation’s oil stockpiles, an outcome that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has been hoping to see since it agreed to cut production in November. Last week total U.S. crude exports, gross refinery inputs and demand for gasoline all pushed to records in weekly preliminary data released Thursday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

“Refinery runs are ridiculous. I posted a meme where it’s the line from Top Gun,” said Mason Hamilton, an EIA analyst by phone from Washington, D.C. “‘I feel the need to run the refinery full out.’ Maybe U.S. refiners were inspired by last week’s Top Gun sequel announcement.”

Crude inventories have now dropped below last year’s high, and OPEC vowed last week to extend cuts to production through March to balance the global market. American refiners processed a gross oil total of 17.7 MMbpd, even as the profit to turn crude into gasoline hovers near the five-year seasonal low at about $18.91/bbl, based on New York Mercantile Exchange futures data.

When it comes to American drivers’ revived thirst for burning gasoline, the economics are a lot less complex. A typical 50-cent surge in springtime retail gasoline prices didn’t happen this year, according to data collected by AAA, the nation’s largest motorist group. That prompted Americans to U-turn their spending habits after finalized EIA data released Wednesday reflected first-quarter consumption slipped 0.4% from a year earlier.

The past two years had “exceptionally strong” demand growth, said Paul Cheng, an equity research analyst at Barclays in New York. “We think we should be growing at 0.4%-0.8% this year,” he said by email. Gasoline demand last week climbed to a record 9.822 MMbpd, EIA data show.

As for the crude that remains in stock after U.S. refiners go gangbusters this summer? It’s seen plenty of demand, particularly from Asian buyers, who are ramping up purchases of the light, sweet crude that comes from U.S. shale formations. Oil exports totaled 1.3 MMbpd last week, the most in EIA data begun in 1993. Even off-spec cargoes can be used for blending or refinery testing, Hamilton said.

“For now, U.S. crude oil exports are something that everyone’s keeping an eye on,” he said. “We need to sit back and watch the show before we can understand it.”
