Tension Eases Over Rising Oil Stocks In Texas
In Austin on November 6 tension over rising crude stocks eased after Texas cut more than 120000 barrels daily. The Texas railroad commission restored nine production shutdown days in November for all but about thirty six fields and marginal wells, reducing output to about 50000 barrels per day. Oil stocks total nearly 230 million barrels, with gasoline stocks around 73 million, up from a year earlier. The commission order cites an emergency due to waste from production exceeding demand and reimposed a 90 day limit ending November 30, with exemptions for many fields.
