Oil Surplus

My Oil company has a surplus of oil now and I looked at the oil demand. There used to be a -5 Trillion oil surplus and now there's a +2 Trillion oil surplus.

Does anyone know what happened? Why is there suddenly a huge surplus? The price of oil also dropped significantly with the huge surplus.

I have a feeling all countries producing large amounts of oil were hit the hardest by this surplus.

So have your CEOs buy up the surplus, it's an artificial bump either by the GM or someone selling off their surplus.
I just put an order in for 660,000,000 myself

It is popularly known as the "supply fairy". With the wave of a digital wand, stocks of product magically appear overnight. It was initially thot of as a way to address severe shortfalls, as in -5T oil, but sometimes offers an opportunity to buy up the sudden surplus, which may lead straight back to a shortage again. Not to worry too much (some worry is ok ) as it will balance out in a couple real weeks or so. just ride out the drop in price and don't be too hasty about closing your oil corps. I have heard that this surplus triggers shutdowns of the affected corps in C3 countries, evening out supply/demand problems. can't vouch for that, tho.
