U.S. Oil and Gasoline Inventories Drop Sharply

U.S. inventories of crude oil and gasoline declined sharply last week and oil production retreated from two-year-highs, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration. 

Crude-oil stockpiles surprisingly fell by 7.1 million barrels, to 425 million barrels, and are now about 6% below the five-year average, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude stockpiles would rise by 100,000 barrels from the prior week. 

Oil stored at Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for U.S. stocks, increased by 192,000 barrels from the previous week, to 25.4 million barrels, the EIA said in its weekly report. 

U.S. crude-oil production fell by 100,000 barrels a day, to 12.1 million barrels a day, according to the EIA. 

Gasoline stockpiles dropped by 4.6 million barrels, to 215.7 million barrels, compared with analysts' expectations for inventories to decrease by just 900,000 barrels from the previous week.
