How will an accelerating US SPR release impact crude trade?

In response to escalating oil prices and threatened global supply, the IEA member countries have committed to a historic coordinated release of oil from strategic reserves. Impacts from the emergency sales will ripple through oil markets, affecting available supplies at the US Gulf Coast, Europe, and Asia. This insight aims to: Present the context for the coordinated IEA oil release and show where US SPR crude is likely to be consumed Evaluate the net impact on crude oil trade flows resulting from the US SPR release Propose the impact on key crude differentials (Brent, WTI, and Mars) over the next six months
