US light crude for January delivery, which expires later on Tuesday, rose 81 cents to $91.44 a barrel by 1021 GMT, recouping some of the losses after falling for three straight sessions.

On average, crude stocks were expected to have fallen 1.4 million barrels while distillate stocks likely declined 600,000 barrels, analysts said.
