New York—US crude oil inventory draws likely extended during the week ended Feb. 19 as severe weather across the southern states shut in production, according to analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts. Total commercial crude stocks are expected to have declined 4.8 million barrels to around 457 million barrels last week, analysts said Feb. 22, leaving them 1% behind the five-year average of US Energy Information Administration data. The drawdown would mark a fifth week of falling inventories and would open the first deficit to the five- year average since the week ended March 27.
