Texas RRC raises June oil allowable by seventy thousand barrels
The Texas Railroad Commission ordered a 70 024 barrel per day increase in June allowable oil flow, raising the limit to 10 515 barrels daily. The decision follows requests from major buyers and reflects cautious optimism amid a national slowdown. Thompson noted Texas production fell 160 000 barrels daily in early May and urged other states to curb output to lower crude stocks.
