Oil up in Asia on completion of new US pipeline
Oil was up in Asian trade on Monday as a completed US pipeline expansion project reduced oversupplied US inventory stocks, giving oil futures a positive nudge, analysts said.
New York’s main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in February, rose 69 cents to $94.25 a barrel in the afternoon, and Brent North Sea crude for February delivery gained 43 cents to $111.07.
The Seaway Pipeline expansion completed on Friday means 400,000 barrels of crude oil can now be brought each day from the oversupplied midcontinent market around Cushing, Oklahoma, to refiners on the Gulf Coast.
Previously, only 150,000 barrels could be transported to refiners, leading to a build-up in stocks.
“Crude prices have been going up because the pipeline... started up with expanded capacity, reducing the crude inventory in Cushing,” said Victor Shum, managing director of IHS Purvin and Gertz in Singapore.
A fall in inventory stocks usually indicates an increased demand for oil that supports prices.
The demand for oil in the United States, which is the world’s largest oil consumer, has the ability to affect its prices around the world.
