This Week in Petroleum

Charts and Tables of Petroleum Inventories, Prices and Implied Demand.

Updated November 4, 2026 for week ending October 30, 2026

About this Report

The following data and charts are an attempt to replace the discontinued "This Week in Petroleum" report that was produced by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) until November 2025. All of the data in this document is still available on the EIA website but not in a single document; this data is now spread across many files and figures. I did not duplicate the report as it was, but as was useful for me.

I also added some long range trends that show:

  • The rise of shale oil and the US becoming a net exporter of Petroleum and Petroleum Products.
  • I added a trend of the SPR inventory since 1982 that shows how we have emptied the SPR.
  • There are also Long term Diesel and Gasoline demand trends that show demand peaked in 2015, declined slightly, and has been basically flat since then. Gasoline demand in the period just before the 2008 recession was only slightly lower than in 2015.

This data was reproduced using the new version of the EIA API. The EIA releases the information Wednesday morning but the API data does not seem to update until after 2:00 PM.

The 5-year range bands on the charts that were part of EIA "This Week in Petroleum" report were distorted because of abnormal demand patterns from the COVID-19 epidemic, the Ukrainian War, and the current Iranian Conflict. I am currently using a 10 year band. The charts are interactive and created with the Plotly Python package. The Plotly toolbar functions are described here Plotly Toolbar Help.

The report was generated via a Jupyter Notebook that is then exported to HTML. I knew the data was available via the EIA API and Jupyter Notebook seemed like a reasonable way to build the report. While I know some Python, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude and other LLMs were used for most of the coding. This was definitely a vibe coding exercise.

The website name SuperTWIP comes from what Gemini named the Jupyter Notebook. I have created a Substack to announce when the report has been updated. It can be found here: This Week In Petroleum.

Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR) — Highlights

Official EIA weekly summary of refinery operations, trade, inventories, and demand.

For the week ending October 30, 2026, U.S. refineries processed 16.7 million barrels per day (b/d), up 199,000 b/d from the previous week, at 94.5% capacity utilization. Gasoline output averaged 9.7 million b/d, and distillate production decreased to 5.2 million b/d.

Crude oil imports decreased 1,000 b/d to 6.4 million b/d, although the four-week average of 6.1 million b/d is 9.5% above the year-ago level. Gasoline imports averaged 351,000 b/d; distillate imports averaged 117,000 b/d.

Commercial crude oil inventories (excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased 0.9 million barrels to 409.8 million barrels, 4% below the five-year average. Gasoline inventories decreased 0.2 million barrels, 2% below the five-year average. Distillate inventories decreased 3.6 million barrels, 13% below the five-year average. Propane/propylene inventories decreased 1.6 million barrels, 10% above the five-year average. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by 8.2 million barrels for the week.

Over the past four weeks, total product supplied averaged 21.2 million b/d, up 4.2% year over year. The four-week average for gasoline product supplied decreased 0.4% year over year to 8.6 million b/d, while the four-week average for distillate product supplied increased 8.7% to 4.2 million b/d. The four-week average for jet fuel product supplied decreased 2.8% year over year.
