This article is for subscribers only.
U.S. crude-oil supplies probably fell to a five-week low after an Enbridge Energy Partners LP pipeline, the largest linking Canada and the U.S. Midwest, shut for eight days following a leak, a Bloomberg News survey showed.
Inventories slipped 1.75 million barrels, or 0.5 percent, in the seven days ended Sept. 17 from 357.4 million a week earlier, according to the median of 18 analyst estimates before an Energy Department report tomorrow. Seventeen forecast a drop and one a gain. It would be the third consecutive decrease.
