Crude-oil inventories declined 3.3 million barrels on the week ended July 29, the American Petroleum Institute said late Tuesday.
Gasoline supplies added 2.6 million, and supplies of distillates added 1.4 million in the same week, the trade group said.
The data comes ahead of official data from the Department of Energy due Wednesday.
Analysts polled by Platts estimate crude oil stocks up 2 million barrels, gasoline stocks up 350,000 barrels, and distillates stocks up 1.8 million barrels.
Oil futures settled at their lowest in five weeks on Tuesday as concerns about the economy flared up after weak consumer-spending data.
