February 10 (Reuters) - A wide-ranging Reuters poll released on Tuesday showed that U.S. crude oil inventories were expected to have risen in the week ending February 6, while distillate and gasoline stocks were likely to have fallen.
Nine analysts polled by Reuters estimated that crude oil inventories rose by about 800,000 barrels in the week in question.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories fell by 3.5 million barrels to 420.3 million barrels in the week ending January 30, as oil production fell to its lowest level since November 2024, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll of an increase of 489,000 barrels.
Analysts estimated that gasoline stocks fell by 400,000 barrels in the week ending February 6, while distillate stocks, which include diesel and heating oil, were expected to have fallen by about 1.3 million barrels.
The survey estimated that the refinery utilization rate remained unchanged at 90.5 percent of total production capacity.
Market sources reported late Tuesday, citing figures from the American Petroleum Institute, that U.S. crude oil and gasoline inventories rose while distillate inventories fell last week.
Sources who requested anonymity reported that crude oil inventories rose by 13.4 million barrels in the week ending February 6. They added that gasoline inventories increased by 3.26 million barrels, while distillate inventories fell by 1.94 million barrels compared to the previous week.
The Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the U.S. Department of Energy, is scheduled to release its report at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (15:30 GMT) on Wednesday.
