Requests Down Commission Lowers Texas Oil Allowable
The Railroad Commission cut the July oil allowable to 55.5 percent of potential, lowest since November, amid reduced nominations from major buyers. Total stock on June 6 stood at 107.3 million barrels, with six of fourteen big buyers asking for less oil in July. Changes reflect refinery overhauls and high inventories, as the commission adjusts per buyer nominations and market demand.
