The active release of oil from the strategic reserves in the US was stopped at the beginning of September and in October only 153 thousand tons of oil were released from the reserves. Reserves as of October 24, 2026, including the irrecoverable minimum, amount to 36.5 million tons. The technical minimum non-recoverable reserves are estimated at 34-36 million tons. This is probably an excessive value and in reality more can be pumped out simply with additional technical work. The commercial reserves of oil and oil products continue to be at a stable level.
