what was the level of our SPR oil reserves on 6-26-26
The SPR was reported at 340.3 million barrels on June 19, 2026, which was described as its lowest level since 1983; I couldn’t verify a specific end-of- day figure for June 26, 2026 from the available information, but it was still characterized as being under continued draw pressure around that date.
What that means
- The best verified figure I found close to June 26, 2026 is 340.3 million barrels.
- Coverage from June 25–26, 2026 continued to describe the SPR as drawing down, with inventories tight and the reserve under pressure.
- So the practical answer is that the SPR was around 340 million barrels on that date, not materially restored from the June 19 reading.
Context
Recent reporting linked the low SPR level to geopolitical tension and broader crude-market tightness, including concern around the Strait of Hormuz and falling U.S. crude inventories. That context helps explain why the reserve level was getting attention in late June 2026.
TL;DR: About 340.3 million barrels, with no confirmed June 26 update showing a meaningfully different level.
