US Oil Monthly

Monthly intelligence on US crude field production, upstream trends, refinery runs and crude differentials

Overview

REA’s US Crude Oil service delivers a definitive, end-to-end view of North American physical pricing dynamics, upstream balances, and global arbitrage flows. The service provides granular, basin-level supply analytics across the Permian, Bakken, and Eagle Ford, underpinned by rigorous tracking of rig counts, DUC inventories, completion efficiencies, and E&P hedging strategies. REA also evaluates midstream developments, Cushing and USGC inventory movements, refinery utilisation rates, and waterborne export terminal capacity.
