U.S. Gulf Coast oil and LNG exports dropped to zero on Sunday due to a severe winter storm, according to ship-tracking firm Vortexa. The storm caused up to 2 million barrels per day of oil production to go offline. Exports rebounded on Monday, exceeding seasonal norms, as ports reopened. Crude oil exports fell from 4.2 million bpd on Saturday to zero on Sunday, then rose to 4.4 million bpd on Monday. Liquefied petroleum gas exports also saw a significant decline, dropping 75% to 739,454 bpd from Saturday to Sunday.
