US refinery runs could be depressed for weeks

Brent prompt future contract came back to 63.2 $/b, led by a patchy restart of the Texan oil infrastructure.

Furthermore, futures prices came under renewed pressure from the potential revival of the Iranian nuclear deal, as the US showed a willingness to rejoin the deal as is. The EIA release of the week prior to the Texan energy crisis showed a bullish picture for US petroleum markets, with a 7 mb crude inventory draw and a recovery of the US gasoline demand.
