They can't actually release anything anyway - all they can do is incentivize producers to ship more oil to refiners. It's more of a regulatory measure than an action.

My understanding is that the POTUS or the Sec of Energy can release oil from the SPR into the downstream supply (or take in excess from same) in order to directly influence the price of oil thru supply/demand dynamics.

"The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil was established primarily to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products and to carry out obligations of the United States under the international energy program. The federally-owned oil stocks are stored in huge underground salt caverns at four sites along the coastline of the Gulf of America. The sheer size of the SPR (authorized storage capacity of 714 million barrels) makes it a significant deterrent to oil import cutoffs and a key tool in foreign policy.

SPR oil is sold competitively when the President finds, pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), that a sale is required. Historically, the President has authorized emergency releases from the SPR on four occasions.

Additionally, the Secretary of Energy may authorize limited releases in the form of exchanges with entities that are not part of the Federal Government. This authority allows the SPR to negotiate exchanges where the SPR ultimately receives more oil than it released; thereby acquiring additional oil. With the exception of the 2000 Heating Oil Exchange, the SPR has entered into negotiated contracts at the request of private companies in order to address short-term, emergency supply disruptions to a refiner's normal operations on several occasions."

What’s the drawdown on the strategic reserves ?

If not replenished, global strategic oil reserves—designed as a temporary cushion for emergencies rather than a long-term supply—would last for a very short period, with estimates suggesting they could be depleted in less than one month (roughly 20 to 27 days) in a scenario of massive, sustained global disruption (e.g., closing the Strait of Hormuz).

The SPR is a U.S. only entity and not under control of G7 - whatever oil reserves they have are separate from SPR. Like everything else with this insane murderous regime in charge of America, the idea that U.S. would somehow help with the global oil supply/demand imbalance by releasing oil from SPR is ludicrous. The oil in SPR is produced largely domestically, and as it stands, there's no shortage of American oil on the market - its supply is not constrained by production capacity but rather economics. The issue is that it's not of the same chemical composition as the oil from GCC (think shale vs middle Eastern origin), and it needs to be shipped across oceans.
