No, I didn't deny it but it had no effect on the price of oil.
You people blamed Biden for refinery shutdowns.
On Sunday, August 29,
Hurricane Ida made landfall near Port Fourchon, Louisiana, as a
Category 4 hurricane. As a result of the hurricane, 96% of crude oil production and 94% of natural gas production in the U.S. federally administered areas of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) were shut in, according to estimates by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. At least nine refineries shut down or reduced production. As a result, we reduced our forecast for crude oil production and refinery runs in our September
Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
We revised down our estimate for U.S. crude oil production in the GOM in August by 0.2 million barrels per day (b/d) from the August STEO to 1.5 million b/d in the September STEO. We reduced our forecast of production in the GOM for September by 0.5 million b/d from the August STEO to 1.2 million b/d in the September STEO. We expect that disrupted GOM crude oil production will return through September, increasing to our previously forecast levels in October. Last year, the GOM accounted for 15% of U.S. crude oil production.
So, over 9000 isn't enough to start a rig?
Do oil companies need 18,000 to start drilling on the 9000 in hand?
Really?
So, what does that have to do with the price of oil today?
So, we aren't being gouged?
Doesn't matter, oil companies have more drilling leases in their hands now than they did under Trump, like THAT makes a difference.
FOX talking points, just like we want to ban guns, free speech, and puppies.
