Based on official announcements of department of energy or other relevant authorities.

Context:

President Trump authorized the Department of Energy to release 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, beginning next week. This will take approximately 120 days to deliver based on planned discharge rates (March 11th, https://www.energy.gov/articles/united-states-release-172-million-barrels-oil-strategic-petroleum-reserve)

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve as of July 10th is 316.5 million barrels, down from 415 million pre-war. The past weeks have seen decreases of 5-9 millions a week.
