The oil is set to be delivered in September.
SEATTLE (Oil Monster): The Biden administration on Wednesday awarded contracts to buy 2.8 million barrels of oil for the government's emergency reserve for more than $81 a barrel, $2 above the target purchase price.
The Department of Energy (DOE) said, it will spent $225.6 million to buy oil to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) from Atlantic Trading & Marketing, Macquarie Commodities, and Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals. The oil is set to be delivered in September.
The price is about $81.32 a barrel, based on the DOE announcement. The energy department has previously said, it aims to purchase at a price of $79 per barrel or below, less than the average of about $95 it received for 2022 emergency SPR sales.
A spokesperson for Department of Energy said the average purchase price for Wednesday's and earlier purchases together remained below $79.
DOE has already purchased 26.28 million barrels of oil for the SPR for an average price of $76.47, as well as accelerated nearly 4 million barrels of exchange returns.
