US authorities are rejecting offers to buy oil to replenish the country’s strategic reserve, either due to a too high price or non-compliance with the required specifications. It has been reported Bloomberg with reference to sources.
According to the agency, the US Department of Energy has already rejected several offers for a possible oil purchase in February and is expected to delay the purchase.
It was noted that the Department of Energy will only select offers that meet the required specifications for oil and at a price that is a profitable offer for taxpayers.
Earlier, Bloomberg cited data on the movement of ships. reportedIn December 2022, exports of Russian oil fell to the minimum level since the beginning of the year.
It was recorded that offshore raw material supply from Russia decreased by an average of 117 thousand barrels in four weeks to an average of 2.615 million barrels per day. The agency pointed to the lack of ships following the European Union’s (EU) embargo on the maritime supply of Russian raw materials.
