Fox News reports that drawdowns made to the
U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have left
the emergency stockpile at its lowest level since 1983.
.
High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.

High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.
.
According to data from the Energy Information
Administration (EIA), the SPR had approximately
351.3 million barrels of oil as of September 29.
.
Fox News reports that for most
of the last decade, the emergency stockpile
has stood at over 650 million barrels.
According to an EIA estimate, the U.S. consumes
an estimated 20 million barrels of oil per day.
.
This means that the SPR would be depleted after
just 17 days if America could no longer access "new domestic production or imports," Fox News reports.
.
Fox News reports that the historical average since
1990 has seen the emergency stockpile maintain
approximately 33 days worth of oil reserves.
.
In 1975, the SPR was created under
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act following
an oil embargo by OPEC that lasted from 1973 to 1974.
America’s SPR remains the largest in
the world and stands ready to deliver
on its mission to provide refiners
and the American public relief
in the event of supply disruptions, United States Department of Energy, via Fox Business.
Initially, the SPR was intended to
have a one billion barrel capacity,
but it has never reached that level.
Fox News reports that SPR supplies are held at four
locations in salt caverns located thousands of feet
below ground to prevent leaking oil from seeping out.

Israel may have attempted to sabotage the U.S-Hamas negotiations by leaking information about the secret talks. U.S. officials confirmed that for the first time in years, they had been engaged in secret discussions with senior Hamas officials, but Israeli media reported that the Israeli government was displeased with this development.
Israel is reportedly concerned that a separate U.S.-Hamas agreement could force it to make concessions regarding its goals in Gaza. U.S. sources have alleged that Israeli officials leaked the news of the talks in an attempt to derail any potential agreement. While the U.S. maintains that it consulted Israel on the matter, Israeli media claims that Israel learned about the talks through other channels before they took place.

Trump, In a stunning move, fired over 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) as part of sweeping Energy Department layoffs under the Trump administration. Sources claim officials overseeing the cuts were unaware that NNSA manages the U.S. nuclear stockpile, raising alarm about national security risks. The Department of Energy (DOE) later disputed the number, stating that "less than 50" administrative staff were affected. Following backlash from lawmakers and security experts, NNSA began reversing some terminations, but concerns remain about the oversight of America's nuclear weapons program.
