U.S. Petroleum Weekly – 30 December 2009

Crude oil stocks fell 1.5 million barrels for week ending 25 December; Gasoline stocks decreased 0.4 million barrels; Distillate stocks fell 2.1 million barrels; Propane/propylene stocks fell 1.5 million barrels; Other oils were down 2 million barrels; Total crude oil and petroleum stocks decreased 8.1 million barrels.

Refinery utilization remained mostly unchanged at 80.3 %.

Crude oil and petroleum product net imports are still at the lowest level in a decade. All categories of petroleum stocks are still at elevated levels.

A disappointing report from my point of view, looks like stocks are decreasing at lower rates.
