U.S. refinery crude runs increased in the latest reporting week, with the indicator rising to 0.328 million from 0.180 million week-over-week, according to data updated on 11 March 2026. The figures, based on the EIA’s weekly comparison, show that refineries boosted their crude processing volumes relative to the prior week’s pace.
The “Actual” 0.328M reading reflects the change in refinery runs for the current week versus the previous one, while the “Previous” 0.180M figure captures the change recorded in the prior week compared with the week before that. The step-up in the current week’s value points to stronger refinery activity and may suggest firmer demand for refined products or shifting operational strategies as U.S. refiners adjust to evolving market conditions.
