Weekly EIA oil inventory and production data

  • Prior was -2500K
  • Gasoline -1719K vs +100K expected
  • Distillates inventories +839K vs +1500K
  • Refinery utilization -2.20% vs -0.80%
  • Production 11.0mbpd vs 10.9mbpd prior

Here's what the API reported late yesterday:

  • Crude +1250K
  • Gasoline +1485K
  • Distillates +1536K

The build in distillates was a bit small but draws in gasoline and crude defied the API report. It's always a tough time of year to make estimates because of storms.

Here's oil. Initially it ticked down but is back to the best levels of the day.
