2/2 10:09 CGES Analyst Drollas on API Report, Oil Supplies: Comment
By Vladimir Todres

London, Feb 2 (Bloomberg) -- The following are comments by
Leo Drollas, deputy director at the Centre for Global Energy
Studies, on a report by the American Petroleum Institute that said
U.S. crude oil inventories fell to the lowest level since August
1976.

The current level of the inventories is ``19.7 days of supply
for U.S. refineries. It's a very low level, maybe the lowest in a
decade. It was 22.5 days of supply in January 1999.
``OPEC has said many times they'd look at the level of
stocks. Let's hope they're doing that now. Until now, they have
been looking at old figures -- such as stocks in November. Things
are very tight now. I hope this news will add to evidence that
current production levels aren't enough' to meet world demand.
``You can't compare the situation in 1976 and now. In 1976,
consumption was lower. Refineries' throughput is much bigger now,
and there's simply not enough supply.'

...can't you just hear the panic in his voice !~
