At the onset of the pandemic, the world's oil supply found itself adrift at sea. Crews were stranded on their ships for months, unable to return home due to travel restrictions.

Tankers and their crews could only wait for better prices, longing to reunite with their families. Amidst this, a world of numbers and connections emerges, driven by radio waves and fiber optic cables, shaping a realm known as Planet Finance.

In the heart of New York, at a small private airport, the quest to predict the future of oil prices begins. Oil, the lifeblood of the global economy, necessitates stability above all else.

Synthesizing nearly everything in the modern world, oil holds unparalleled importance. However, it's the Futures Market that dictates its value, a system born from the chaos of trading floors.

Futures Contracts, agreements to deliver oil at predetermined times and places, were designed to mitigate future risks. Yet, in today's digital age, they serve as avenues for speculation rather than practicality.

Enter Cushing, Oklahoma, an unassuming town with an outsized influence on global oil prices. Despite its mundane appearance, Cushing serves as the nerve center for oil trading, its significance unparalleled.

Decades ago, Cushing became the delivery point for oil Futures contracts, solidifying its role in shaping global oil prices. Today, it remains a critical infrastructure, monitored with vigilance.

Meanwhile, high above, a retired fireman navigates a drone, providing crucial thermal imagery for oil storage inspections. His unexpected role in Planet Finance highlights the fusion of technology and tradition.

Storage levels, not the physical oil itself, drive the floor's obsession. Traders seek information, not barrels, aiming to profit from fluctuations in the market.

The Energy Information Administration's reports on storage levels hold immense sway over oil prices, influencing decisions worldwide. In London, analysts track floating storage, a visual representation of market dynamics.

Amidst the pandemic, the oil market experiences unprecedented turmoil. Tankers laden with oil float aimlessly, waiting for demand to rebound, while seafarers remain stranded aboard their vessels.

In the midst of uncertainty, chaplains offer solace to crew members, bridging the gap between isolation and hope. As prayers are offered for safety and reunion, the resilience of those at sea amidst economic upheaval is evident.
