America’s Strategic Oil Reserves Are at 44-Year Lows — And Trump Just Gave Away Another 40 Million Barrels

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) fell to 283.8 million barrels, its lowest since 1982, as the Trump administration released 40 million barrels. The SPR is part of a 400-million-barrel IEA release to temper oil prices. The DOE structured the release as an exchange, with companies returning oil plus a premium by 2028. Venezuela's oil could help replenish the SPR, but this is a long-term solution. Investors may consider oil producers like ExxonMobil and Chevron.
