Quote from MacroEvent:
it will help refineries that are ready for oil to process to be assured that their will be no disruption in their processing schedules. the oil inventory disruption from tanker off-loading delays will be filled in for the mean time with SPR stock. this was as expected and of course a needed measure --- but now we still do not know what the refining capabilities are for the next few weeks with the damage assessment still on going. the oil will be available to refine, but their may be a period of time before all the damaged refineries are ready to come back on-line.
