  • The DOE said in December they would purchase up to 3mn bbls for delivery to the SPR in February – a small portion of the 180mn bbls sold last year to try and ease international supply concerns.
  • “DOE will only select bids that meet the required crude specifications and that are at a price that is a good deal for taxpayers,” a DOE spokesperson said on the latest bids that were rejected. They did not reveal what oil companies offered in the bids.
  • US officials had previously said they were looking to purchase oil in the low $70’s.
