U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve falls below 300 million barrels for first time since early 1980s, raising cavern-damage concerns

AI مارکیٹ کا خلاصہ
U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve inventories have fallen below 300 million barrels for the first time since the early 1980s, with analysts warning drawdowns toward ~243 million could impair cavern integrity and reduce effective pumping capacity. This tightens perceived emergency supply flexibility as gasoline prices hit seasonal records, increasing sensitivity to geopolitical disruptions and elevating near-term crude risk premia. DOE denies structural risk, but facility constraints remain a key tail risk.

U.S. Department of Energy data show the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen below 300 million barrels for the first time since the early 1980s, approaching an operating floor analysts put at roughly 250 million to 300 million barrels. Experts warn that running inventories this low could increase the risk of structural damage to the underground salt caverns and reduce pumping capacity. Separately, the national average price of regular gasoline rose to $4.07 per gallon, described as the highest on record for mid-August.
