Crude oil rose nearly 2.8% in the previous period. It is understood that the international community needs to pay attention to the development of the situation in Ecuador in recent days. Platts energy analysts say Ecuador is at risk of 1/3 production disruptions, of which the biggest victims are refineries on the west coast of the United States, which are already facing severe shortages of heavy crude oil. Ecuador's state oil company, Petroamazonas, estimated on Tuesday that it could lose about 165000 barrels a day, or 1/3 barrels, of crude oil production as a result of "insecurity" in its oil fields as a result of anti-austerity protests, the Ministry of Energy said on Tuesday. Ecuador's heavy crude oil is seen as an important substitute for heavy crude oil after US sanctions against Iran and Venezuela. In fact, the U. S. API data released in the early hours of recent crude oil stocks increased, but gasoline and refining depots significantly reduced. The possibility of supply shortages has been exacerbated by the recent risk of production disruptions in Iraq and the lack of spare production in Saudi Arabia. The (EIA) of the United States Energy Information Agency will release the official weekly report on crude oil stocks at 22:30 this evening.
