The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that contracts have been awarded for the acquisition of approximately one million barrels of crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The contracts awarded on November 12, 2025, are for deliveries beginning in December 2025 through January 2026 to the Bryan Mound site. This announcement follows the Request for Proposal (RFP) that was announced on October 21, 2025.
President Trump promised to refill the SPR and rebuild America’s strategic strength. Currently, the SPR holds just over 400 million barrels out of its capacity of approximately 700 million barrels. The SPR was severely weakened by the previous administration’s reckless 180-million-barrel drawdown in 2022, which incurred nearly $280 million in costs, delayed critical infrastructure maintenance and put unprecedented wear and tear on storage and injection facilities.

So the next Democrat president can tap into it just before an election, after fuel prices jump due to Democrat energy policies.
Federal judge ordering a halt soon probably.
$5 says demonKKKrats will file lawsuit against this, for some idiotic reason.
Considering that 13.5 million barrels of oil are produced a day in the United States, this is just a drop in the bucket.
They should never have lowered the reserves in the first place. It was for national defense like for our military, not to use for domestic use.
Fill up now because you’ll pay more later...
He bought 1mm barrels recently, announced 10/21.
Should be buying around 300 million barrels, then. Just put it on that $38 trillion tab.
The govt can print money. It can’t print oil.
Exactly.
definitely it is good for us to have some petroleum reserves ready to ship to market in case our so-called allies in the gulf (truthfully: enemies) decide to play more games with us
applause!
