[Singapore 19 Reuters]-Crude oil futures prices have been more or less flat on the 19th. Crude oil prices have fluctuated significantly over the past few days following the attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, but the market is starting to calm down in view of the rapid recovery of the country's supply.
As of 0139 GMT (10:39 am Japan time), Brent futures <LCOc1> is $ 0.08 per barrel = $ 63.68. US WTI <CLc1> is $ 58.23, up 0.12 dollars.
Saudi Minister of Energy Abdul Aziz announced on the 17th that the oil production of Saudi Aramco, a state-run oil company, will recover to pre-attack levels within the month.
Domestic crude oil inventory announced by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has increased by 1.1 million barrels from the previous week. Market forecasts were down 2.5 million barrels.
On the other hand, crude oil inventory in Cushing, Oklahoma, the crude oil delivery base, decreased for 11 consecutive weeks.
