21 million barrels a day. If this holds for a month, Brent/WTI will hit $100. US shale can make up an extra half million if extended past one months, Venezuela is ramping up but won’t be able to add anything in the short term. Saudi Arabia maybe has an extra million, but doesn’t have the capacity to get it all to the Red Sea is straights remain closed. The barrels don’t exist
