U.S. strategic petroleum reserves in the United States have shrunk to a minimum in the last 40 years.
The country began to actively pump raw materials out of storage facilities back in 2022. After the energy sanctions imposed against Russia, the cost of energy resources on the world market rose sharply. The rapid depletion of reserves may lead to an even greater rise in fuel prices in the future, analysts do not exclude. The United States is one of the three world leaders in oil production, along with Russia and Saudi Arabia.
