CRUDE OIL
Fuel Oil Imports to U.S. Gulf Coast Hit 2.5-Year High - Fuel oil imports to the U.S. Gulf Coast surged to a two-and-a-half-year high in September, driven by a jump in cargoes from the Middle East, as refiners seek alternatives to dwindling Venezuelan crude supplies, according to preliminary ship tracking data, analysts and a refinery source. Fuel oil imports into the U.S. Gulf Coast, home to more than 55% of total U.S. refining capacity, have been on the rise since July and were on track to reach 541,000 barrels per day last month, marking their highest since February 2023, according to Kpler. In August and September, fuel oil imports from Gulf countries hit record highs, bolstered by volumes from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait, per Kpler. (Reuters)
