U.S. Crude Oil and Fuel Inventories Decline

U.S. inventories of crude oil and fuels including gasoline all fell more than expected for the week ended April 13, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.

Crude-oil stockpiles declined by 1.1 million barrels, to 427.6 million barrels, and remain in the lower half of the average range for this time of year, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude supplies would decline by 200,000 barrels on the week.

Gasoline stockpiles fell by 3 million barrels, to 236 million barrels, while analysts in the survey were expecting levels to fall by just 900,000 barrels from the previous week.

Distillate stocks, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, fell by 3.1 million barrels, to 125.3 million barrels, and are still in the lower half of the average range, the EIA said. Earlier in the week, analysts had forecast supplies to decrease by 500,000 barrels from the previous week.
