US Cash Crude-Grades mixed on weakened refinery demand, lower rig count
Sept 27 (Reuters) -U.S. cash grades were mixed on Friday, dealers said, as refining demand is set to fall while the domestic oil rig count also dipped.
U.S. oil refiners are expected to have about 1.09 million barrels per day (bpd) of capacity offline in the week ending Sept. 27, decreasing available refining capacity by 79,000 bpd, research company IIR Energy said on Friday.
Offline capacity is expected to rise to 1.18 million bpd in the week ending Oct. 4 and then fall to 926,000 in the subsequent week, IIR added.
Meanwhile, U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for a second week in a row, energy services firm Baker Hughes BKR.O said in its closely followed report on Friday.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by one to 587 in the week to Sept. 27, the lowest since early September.
Baker Hughes said oil rigs fell by four to 484 this week, their lowest since early September.
That was the first time drillers cut oil rigs since mid-August and was the most oil rigs cut in a week since late June.
