U.S. crude production fell in February to 12.5 million barrels per day (bpd), its lowest since December, while implied fuel demand rose to nearly 20 million bpd, its highest since November, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

U.S. oil futures were down about 5% so far this year after gaining about 7% in 2022. U.S. gas futures, meanwhile, have plunged about 47% so far this year after rising about 20% last year.

Meanwhile, the No. 2 U.S. producer Chevron Corp on Friday posted profits for the first quarter despite lower energy prices and oil and gas production.
