Monday, February 24, 2020

From the report of the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices for gasoline and diesel show a mixed trend (ups and downs), these variations are due to the continuous fall in the reserves of these products, according to reports provided by the IEA in February 2020. The reserves for gasoline have reduced 2.16 million barrels, likewise for diesel, its reserves have decreased 4.16 million barrels, along with a lack of oil production, which in its last week barely paid to its reserves 414 thousand barrels, causing international prices to fluctuate.

In addition, the internal conflict in Libya in the Middle East has collapsed its production by an estimated 85%, since from producing 1.3 million barrels per day, it has reduced to 190 thousand barrels per day, a little more than 1 million that are not being injected into the world supply, because of the blockade of oil fields and terminals. Also adding to world events, an attack on a dock (an artificially protected part of the currents, so that ships can anchor or load and unload comfortably) in Tripoli, the capital of the Arab country, caused great damage and forced the evacuation of oil tankers that were docked there. The above event has generated uncertainty in the international markets and prices of hydrocarbons.
