What you also provided was conjecture based on… oh right you didn’t provide what it’s based on. Citation needed.

What I meant with nobody talking about it was that outside of your post your bullet points aren’t being brought up in any reliable sources.

Consider the possibility that this is a failure of the business press rather than on my part. I linked to the recent GAO report on the physical state of the SPR facilities and infrastructure elsewhere in the thread. You might also find this trucking industry overview of the fuel supply situation illuminating. I leave it to you to dig around in the Department of Energy's website until you find the (obscure) tracking data for sour vs sweet stocks and integrate with other information, from storage chamber maintenance issues to anomalous outcomes in recent commodity loan offerings.

I get what you’re getting at, but do you honestly expect mainstream press to have a story on the technical details of oil production?

Kind of? It is of central importance at this time.

There was a time...
