The IEA reported that global oil supply fell by 1.4 million barrels per day in January, led by OPEC's Vienna production cut. OPEC crude output dropped 930,000 b/d to a near four-year low, and OPEC compliance was 86 percent.
Non-OPEC compliance was only 25 percent.
A sharp supply drop in a weak-demand year supports crude prices, which feed into energy costs for drying, transport and biofuel margins.
