U.S. Oil Inventories Fall Sharply For Second Week

U.S. inventories of crude oil fell sharply last week while gasoline supplies saw a moderate increase, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration. Crude-oil stockpiles slid by 7.4 million barrels -- the second steep weekly decline in a row -- to 518.6 million barrels. That leaves inventories about 16% above the five-year average, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude stockpiles would fall by just 1.8 million barrels from the prior week. U.S. crude-oil production declined by 100,000 barrels a day from the previous week, to 11 million barrels a day, according to the EIA.
