AI Summary

The US is currently exporting crude oil at record levels in response to a significant disruption in Middle Eastern supply. This shift has positioned US oil as a vital source of supply for the global market. The scale of US oil exports is substantial, with data indicating that since the start of April, the country has been exporting approximately 5.2 million barrels of crude per day. This influx of tankers has led to a surge in activity at ports such as Corpus Christi in Texas, which has reportedly experienced its busiest quarter on record.
