Winter Is Coming for Oil — And Not in a Positive Way
The oil market is deceptively calm. Below the apparent tranquility lies an underappreciated transformation that has slowly reshaped the market over the last 25 years — because the arrival of China and India as big consumers hasn't just given an enormous boost to demand, it's also altered the market's seasonality. And that matters a lot this year. Until recently, global oil demand peaked every year with the arrival of the Northern Hemisphere's winter. As temperatures dropped from October onward, heating oil and kerosene consumption spiked from the US to Germany to Japan. Hence, as recently as 2014, the fourth quarter still marked the annual high for crude demand and, typically, prices. Since then, the seasonality has flipped: Now, the third quarter sees higher demand and prices. The shift means the market is now at its tightest from July to September, rather than October to December. While one-time events can still have an effect — the 2008 global financial crisis, for example, or the Covid-19 pandemic that started in early 2020 — looking over a long enough timescale reveals the change clearly. Because it happened incrementally over a quarter of a century, it often doesn't get the attention it deserves. But the chart below makes it obvious.

2,500 gallons of fuel spill in Whitehall: fire official
WHITEHALL, Ohio (WCMH) – An ongoing hazmat emergency is affecting people in Whitehall. According to Whitehall Mayor Michael Bivens, there was a kerosene spill, with some of it running into a local creek. As of 11 p.m., clean-up crews were still active on Robinwood Avenue, where there appeared to be oil buildup on Mason Run, with several booms placed into the water to help with cleanup. The spill started around 7 p.m. Tuesday, with crews spending hours using special equipment to survey the area and monitor the air quality. Columbus Division of Fire Lt. Nicholas Davis said the spill started at a gas company on Fifth Avenue. The company was pushing fuel through pipes into a railcar and at some point, a leak started and it wasn't caught right away; Davis estimated it was approximately 2,500 gallons of fuel. Davis said there was nothing toxic in the air due to the spill. 'We have all our survey monitors that are in the area making sure of that, and if there is, of course, we would let the residents know and then the rest of the public,' he said. 'You're probably going to smell like it smells like a gas station. It's nothing to be concerned about right now. It's just more of a nuisance than anything. No danger to life or health at this point.' In addition to Columbus Fire, Whitehall Fire, EPA, EMA, and Columbus Public Health responded to the area. Davis said crews will be on scene until they know for sure that there is no danger to the public, continuing to monitor the air over the next few days. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
