SEOUL: Brent oil slipped $58.48 a barrel hold up by a larger-than-expected drop in US crude inventory and a fire in a main US crude supply facility.
Front-month US crude for February delivery also gained $1.04 a barrel at $54.31 as of 0107 GMT after hitting $55.11 earlier. US crude inventories fell 1.8 million barrels last week as refineries hiked output, compared with analysts’ expectations for a decrease of 67,000 barrels.
The oil prices were also supported due to a fire on an Enbridge Inc crude oil storage and pipeline facility just south of Williston, N.D., which serves as a key gathering and distribution hub for crude oil produced in the second-largest crude oil producer in the United States.
It was also not clear if the fire was affecting crude oil storage tanks or other parts of the complex
