New OPEC Insights: Ursa Extends In-Depth Oil Inventory Monitoring to MENA Region

ITHACA, N.Y.--()--Ursa Space Systems Inc. (Ursa) today announced the worldwide release of their Middle East/North Africa (MENA) Oil Storage Report. MENA is the third region in Ursa’s expansion to global coverage of oil storage inventories, providing a new reliable dataset to a product line that is already in use by leading traders.

“MENA is a key region in global crude prices due to the role of OPEC in determining production for its members, many of whom are in this region.” said Matt Wood, Ursa’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “Our customers rely on our detailed information, regular cadence and weekly refresh of every site to make important business decisions.”

Zack Downey, Data Scientist at Ursa agrees, “MENA Oil Storage provides unique insight into production and inventory levels of OPEC, providing subscribers with an early understanding of production cut compliance and global rebalancing (or lack thereof) of supply and demand.” 8 of the 14 OPEC countries are covered in Ursa’s MENA offering.

“We are excited about reaching this milestone towards reliable global coverage. This is Ursa’s largest regional expansion to date, covering the most sites and countries”, said Adam Maher, Ursa’s CEO. “Adding this third region brings our total coverage to over 50 locations and more than 1.5 billion barrels of shell capacity. We plan to complete our global coverage expansion in the next several months.”

Ursa’s MENA report covers over 1,400 tanks across 24 sites, representing more than 570 Mbbls of shell capacity monitored on a weekly basis. In addition, Ursa provides contextual information such as tank owner and whether each tank is associated with a refinery, which enables subscribers to filter the data for deeper insights.
