What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

U.S. crude production reached a record 14 million barrels a day last week. Financial analysis indicates that U.S. oil companies are posting high Q3 profits, with ConocoPhillips reporting $4 billion in Q3 earnings. This growth is attributed to skyrocketing refining margins and heightened oil prices caused by ongoing disruptions in Middle East crude oil supplies.
