IEA says members will release about 71 million barrels from emergency stocks by end-February 2027

The International Energy Agency says members will release about 71 million barrels of oil and fuel from emergency stocks by the end of February 2027, including around 15 million barrels of diesel, almost entirely from French and German government stocks. If current schedules are met, the agency says total releases would reach about 420 million barrels, exceeding the 400 million committed in March.
