What does the US Oil Inventories, Production and Demand table measure?

It measures the physical balance sheet of the United States petroleum market, tracking ending inventories, domestic production, refining inputs, trade flows, and product supplied across major fuels.

How often is this petroleum data published and how far back does it go?

The data is published weekly by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with core crude oil inventory series extending back to August 1982.

What specific product categories are included in the statistics?

The table includes breakdowns for crude oil outside and inside the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, motor gasoline, distillate fuel oil, jet fuel, residual fuel oil, and propane.

How are consumption and production measured in this report?

Production and trade flows are measured in thousands of barrels per day, inventories in thousands of barrels, and refinery activity as a percentage of operational capacity.
