They are "borrowing" two days worth of production. Something else is going on here.

The Kenyan must go.

This type of exchange has been done several times before.

The offshore production was shut down 2~4 days. This is a reasonable request and has been done many times before.

1998 - August Maya Exchange 11,000,000 bbls
2000 - June Calcasieu Ship Channel Closure 1,000,000 bbls
2000 - August Establish NEHHOR 2,836,000 bbls

2008 - September Hurricanes Gustav and Ike 5,389,000 bbls

These types of exchange are fine. It is the sales that are wrong in my opinion. The government should not sell off our reserve, but using the reserve following an interruption is appropriate.

According to the article, this oil is going to a refinery. Seems more like two days of "supply".
