Washington denies damage to oil reserve caves

The U.S. Department of Energy denied there being any risk to the storage caverns in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve due to declining levels, affirming that the caverns remain filled and that the Trump administration manages the reserve responsibly. However, experts warned that a rapid drawdown of the reserve resulting from the repercussions of Iran’s war could cause damage to the caverns, making it more difficult to respond to emergencies in the future. U.S. oil inventories have fallen to their lowest levels since 1983, declining by approximately 6.1 million barrels to 298.7 million barrels after the release of 172 million barrels to address supply shortages caused by disruptions in navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital oil transit routes. It is expected that the supply-demand gap in the oil market could reach 5 million barrels per day, with challenges increasing due to pipeline attacks and regional tensions.
