U.
S.
crude exports hit record highs as European refiners rushed to stockpile supplies
ahead of the Russian import ban.
According to the U.
S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.
S.
weekly overseas shipments reached 5 million barrels per day, surpassing the highest level
just a month ago.
The increase in itself was also a record increase of 2.
89 million barrels per day
.
The increase in exports underscores the extent to which the world is turning to the United States to meet its energy needs
as the Russia-Ukraine crisis continues and oil and gas supplies on global markets dwindle.
In addition to Europe's growing dependence, as Russia cuts supplies and becomes the target of global sanctions, gas prices have soared and global markets have begun to turn to oil to meet electricity demand
.
Last month, Libya's exports fell sharply, adding to the pressure on the tight crude oil market and prompting European refiners to become more dependent on U.
S.
supplies
.
About 45 million barrels of crude are expected to arrive in Europe in August, which would be the highest level
since Bloomberg began compiling data in 2019.
