According to the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), released on November 26, 2025, the crude oil runs in U.S. refineries have shown a notable decline. For the current week, the refinery crude runs reached 0.211 million barrels, a significant decrease from the previous week’s figure of 0.259 million barrels. This represents an 18.5% drop in the volume of crude being processed at the nation’s refineries.
This downward trend highlights a shift from the previous week, which also saw a change in refinery activities but was not as drastic. Factors contributing to this shift could include routine maintenance operations, market demand variations, or adjustments in response to broader economic strategies. As the U.S. continues to navigate fluctuating demand and energy policy transformations, monitoring these figures can provide insight into industry operations and future market forecasts.
Analysts and industry stakeholders will be watching closely for further developments in refinery throughput and the potential implications for the broader oil market. These changes can influence various sectors, including energy prices, domestic fuel availability, and international trade relations.
