The U.S. can release and acquire SPR crude oil through a mechanism known as an Exchange. In an exchange, an entity (usually an oil refiner) borrows SPR crude oil for a short time period due to exigent circumstances and later replaces it in full, along with a premium of an additional quantity of oil. Exchanges usually occur during severe weather events, such as Hurricanes or in response to temporary disruptions, such as pipeline blockages and ship channel closures when a facilities normal scheduled deliveries are interrupted.
