September 14, 2011 Crude production in the lower 48 saw its biggest one-week drop since September 2008 during the reference week, plummeting 569 kb/d to 4.51 mb/d on account of Tropical Storm Lee. The last time PADD III production was interrupted to such an extent was Hurricane Ike in 2008, though it ultimately caused a much more severe production loss of 3.79 mb/d. The impact of weather on crude imports into PADD III during the reference week was apparently minor, as imports declined .....

September 8, 2011 Perhaps the most vivid illustration of Hurricane Irene’s impact on the U.S. crude oil activity is the 420 kb/d drop in crude refinery runs in PADD I during the reference week, the single largest one-week decline ever recorded in the district. In hindsight, last week’s 589 kb/d jump in crude imports along the East Coast can be interpreted as likely precautionary offloading before Irene struck, so this week’s 769 kb/d drop was largely a drop-back after the prior week’s high. .....

August 31, 2011 The release of additional volumes of SPR crude, a drop in crude refinery runs, and a jump in crude imports drove a +5.3m bbl build in U.S. commercial crude stocks on the week. Crude stocks in Cushing drew for the fifth straight week, down -0.58m bbl to 33.1m bbl, the lowest reading since November 2010. Low crude imports in PADD III , which are running at the lowest levels since 1993 (4wk avg), have been a major factor behind the low U.S. import readings. Gulf Coast crude i.....
