If you wanted oil for May delivery, you'd pay 2.75 (px as I'm typing this). For June delivery the price is 22 and change. Basically, storage is becoming full due to lack of demand, so people are having issues taking delivery because they have no place to put it. The px is higher for June because of optimism that demand will increase by then and there will be more available storage.

UPDATE: Now 1.25 for May. In theory could go negative.
UPDATE2: Now NEGATIVE 37.63 for the May contracts. Truly wild stuff.
