Again, from the EIA’s Short Term Energy Outlook, here…
“Activity in the WTI options market reflects similar trends as the reduction in short positions among producer/merchants in the futures markets. Total put option open interest for WTI declined to 978,000 contracts in October, the lowest level since December 2015, and was a 32% year-over-year decline (Figure 4).”
