    U.S. to purchase 3m barrels more for Strategic Petroleum Reserve

    *Cushing, Okla., is a major oil storage site. Amid record oil production, some analysts worry the U.S. will run out of places to put it all

    Houston — The Energy Department announced Friday it planned to purchase 3 million more barrels of crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

    Strategic Petroleum Reserve
    A previous solicitation for about 3 MMbbl resulted in contracts awarded to five companies, with the oil being purchased for an average price of about $73 per bbl, according to a DOE statement.

    The move marks the agency’s attempts to begin replenishing the emergency reserve after it released more than 200 MMbbl last year, in part to curb high energy prices.

    The department said it would accept bids for the new solicitation of sour crude oil through June 20 and contracts would be awarded by June 30 for deliveries in September.

    Below is the list of companies awarded supply contracts in the previous tender, where the DOE bought the full volume for an average price of $73.39 per bbl. The volume is for delivery in August:

    TotalEnergies’s ATMI – 1,000,000 bbl
    ExxonMobil – 900,000 bbl
    Gunvor – 600,000 bbl
    Macquarie – 300,000 bbl
    Energy Transfer’s Sunoco – 300,000 bbl
    Total – 3,100,000 bbl
