Crude stockpiles rose by 1 million barrels in the week to Feb. 19, the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported on Tuesday, against estimates for a draw of 5.2 million barrels in a Reuters poll. API data showed refinery crude runs fell by 2.2 million bpd. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 56 cents or 0.9% at $61.11 a barrel at 0506 GMT, after slipping 3 cents on Tuesday. Brent crude futures fell 35 cents, or 0.5%, to $65.02 a barrel, erasing Tuesday’s 13 cents gain.

 

The API builds come after a period of intense freezing weather in the oil-rich region of the Texas Gulf in which much of the production in the area was offline due to operational fragilities and frozen equipment meaning refineries were unable to process any further crude that was extracted. As a result, news coming from the region states that top executives of the Electric grid have resigned over failures in supply of heating, light and water during the deep freeze. (Reuters)
