How much oil is in U.S. commercial storage, and what changed this week.

Partial

Crude inventory measures how much commercial crude oil sits in U.S. storage facilities right now.

When inventories build, the market adds supply. When they draw down, supply leaves storage faster than it arrives.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes this number every week. This page shows the latest reading and how it fits into recent history.

What this number includes, and what it doesn't

These are U.S. commercial crude oil stocks. They reflect oil held in commercial storage, but they don't include the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

EIA publishes this data weekly as part of its Weekly Petroleum Status Report. Each figure is an estimate based on company submissions and may be revised later.

What inventories mean for supply and demand depends on how they moved, and that's what the Balance page works through.
