New York (AWP / AFP) - Crude oil inventories fell sharply in the United States last week, dropping to the lowest since 2015, according to figures released Thursday by the US Department of Energy (DoE). ).
During the week ended January 12, commercial crude oil reserves fell by 6.9 million barrels to 412.7 million, when analysts surveyed by Bloomberg forecast a decline of only 3, 15 million barrels.
These stocks have been declining for nine weeks and have declined by more than 46 million barrels since November 10.
At their level, they are down 15% from the same time in 2016 and remain in the middle of the middle range for this time of the year.
Also scrutinized since they serve as a benchmark for the listing of oil in New York, crude oil stocks at the Cushing terminal (Oklahoma, South), fell from 4.2 million barrels to 42.4 million.
Gasoline reserves increased by 3.6 million barrels, slightly less than the 3.99 million barrels forecast by analysts.
However, they are down 2.2% compared to the same period last year and are falling in the middle of the average range for this time of the year.
- Increased demand for cold weather -
Stocks of other distillate products (heating oil and diesel) fell by 3.9 million barrels as analysts forecast an increase of 1.55 million barrels.
They are down 17.7% from their level a year earlier and are down in the low end of the average range for this time of the year.
The demand for these products in the last four weeks, boosted by the cold wave that has hit the United States, jumped 16% over the same period last year. Demand for gasoline rose 3.9%.
The United States has consumed an average of 20.5 mbd of refined products in the last four weeks, up 6.2% from the same period last year.
Crude output is on the rise, with the country averaging 9.75 million barrels a day (bpd) in the week ending Jan. 12.
According to the US Energy Information Agency, the average 10 MBD mark should be crossed in the first quarter.
The pace of refineries, for its part, fell slightly, with the infrastructure operating at 93% of capacity compared to 95.3% the previous week.
The price of a barrel of oil "light sweet crude" (WTI) for delivery in February, the American reference, hesitated on the direction to follow, retreating from 2 cents to 63.95 dollars around 16H40 GMT after showing up just after the release of the report.

Good day STEEMIAN!
This is all free and opensource information and may be of beneficial use to everyone; all you need to do is upvote all posts of @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer and receive the sharing of the 33 percent of all SBD author rewards on a daily basis, no questions asked.
The @minnowminer program aims to help in the awareness program of the versatile JOULESTEEM circuit, a non-solar non-wind approach to low-power offgrid energy generation by re-distributing and sharing the daily SBD gains of all posts made by @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer.
The JOULESTEEM circuit is reaching a very encouraging milestone (@lightingmacsteem post #51) that enables it to harness non-conventional offgrid power sources (air and ground as a huge capacitor) which is in turn made to charge big capacity batteries. This makes it very much ideal for low-power energy generation no matter the location, no matter the weather, no matter what time of the day.
To be able to fast-track its adoption worldwide and to where it may be needed most, the @minnowminer program is introduced to encourage all STEEMIANS to help and be part of the quick transformation of the JOULESTEEM circuit.
This is maybe the only straight-to-the-point no-questions-asked sharing scheme that will enable each one to earn and learn as a STEEMIAN.
Keep on STEEMING guys!!!

Hello dear STEEMIAN......... You have received this message as a follower of @lightingmacsteem.
I would like to invite you to come visit the JOULESTEEM circuit posts, it may interest you to learn methods of harnessing atmospheric energy and create your own low-power off-the-grid energy source regardless of your location.
SBD author rewards sharing is also started to ptomote such approach, your support can greatly help in this goodwill good-for-our-Earth endevor.
Regards.
