I am curious as to why you believe that? The MMS report has not shown significant improvements in a few weeks now. It appears that we're slowing down, not speeding up. What other data leads you to your conclusion, because it's not obvious to me why we should go from 67% shut in oil on Friday, October 28th to 33% shut in oil by December 31st. Is there word somewhere on work crews or some other factor changing?

Thanks in advance.

I think you may have misunderstood, I was talking about refinery capabilities not the production of crude from the Gulf.  It is likely to be refinery production that poses the limits on what is going to be available, at least in the short term.  I do not believe that we have tapped all the crude that could be released from the SPR and this could help, if we could get it refined.

Ah, thank you. I did misunderstand having mentally focused on the shut in for so long.
