It's already been done. A group of small independents, who say they are going bankrupt due to crude prices, has gotten the Senate to approve a purchase of $28 million barrels, still has to go through the whole legislative process. I don't know if there is any way to get it quickly done, all they seem to have time for is going after Clinton, so I suspect it will be too little, too late. But, maybe it can get pushed through. The producers claim that 15-20% of US oil production is from marginal wells that have been almost completely shut in, permanently lost. I don't know when these shut in figures will start to show up in the numbers, to be confirmed. But, if you're asking for a favor from Congress, right before an election is the time to do it.
