Here are the U. S. Government's public actions. home.doe.gov It appears they are still in the watch-it phase. However, they are using the SPR now by not putting oil in. The timing of the USG's chats with producers lead me to assume that they would be satisfied with a price between $25 and $30 for now. Over $30 would seem like time for a more frank discussion with producers. Over $35, the SPR will probably open. That would polarize producers and consumers and be an opening shot of an oil war. Just my speculation.
