What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following strikes by the US and Israel on Iran, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is mandating crude returns from companies. ExxonMobil and BP American can receive up to two million barrels from the reserve to help maintain refinery operations, but they are required to return the crude in 2027, contributing a premium amount. Since the strikes, 132 million barrels have been withdrawn from the reserve's 415 million barrel stock.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been heavily utilized since the US and Israel strikes on Iran, which shocked energy markets. Furthermore, oil production in the US Gulf coast region has been severely disrupted by a Category 2 hurricane that made landfall in Florida.
