Old-Ruffneck + 1,246 er March 20, 2019 The above chart shows 85.9 to 87.6 % of refinery capacity, this is nothing new at this time of year and shouldn't be a Surprise as maintenance at this time of year is necessary. But you won't see that in the headlines. Trying their hardest to scare the investors into buying into this Bullcr*p. Just do some research on years past will tell you the story. I realize Oilprice.com is a investment site to give outlook but really should tell the whole story. Sensationalism at it's finest lately. Be wary of sinking money into the futures at this time of year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millions of cubic feet of gas per day was blowing out of this monster and people were pushing up the price of buying the natural gas just from what was expended in the atmosphere. When it bridged off, there were a lot of unhappy people 😊 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
