Exclusive: U.S. plans to lease space to energy companies to store oil in emergency reserve

The U.S. Department of Energy plans to announce as soon as Wednesday it will allow oil companies to lease space in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), as it tries to comply with President Trump's directive to fill the facility to capacity, two industry sources said. The SPR has the capacity to take another 77 million barrels of oil, a little less than the country uses in four days. Trump ordered the department this month to take advantage of low oil prices and fill the reserve, in an effort to help domestic drillers suffering from the global oil price drop.
