That is unlikely for a year or more. The real problem is the lack of refining capacity to make gas (UK= petrol) out of crude. Russia has 25% of the world's capacity and a fire at a gas processing plant in Texas doesn't help. Europe and the Uk are going to add more refining capacity but that will take time and money.What happens when there's too much inventory? Do prices jump or go down?
The price of crude oil is set by worldwide demand and supply. Taking 25% out of the supply impacts prices as nations scramble for oil.
