Great report again this week. Another gasoline build, but again, not unusual for this time of year, we are still in-line with inventories this same week in the 5 prior years. Refinery utilization was up slightly this week AT 83%, which accounts for a bit of that gasoline build. Nice distillate draw with week, I noted last week that I was looking for a bigger draw. Imports were down – 4.550M this week versus last week and exports down -6.062M over last week. There was a small SPR draw of 168K barrels that got placed into commercial crude stocks. Propane, another huge draw at -4.5M, putting us 9% below the 5-year average. This is a strong report for E&P’s and service companies in particular.
