Energy futures were mixed on Wednesday after the data showed U.S. crude oil inventories reached a 22-year high. Adding pressure, OPEC cut its estimate of global demand growth to 800,000 barrels per day from 840,000 barrels per day.

Crude oil inched up despite weak fundamentals. The EIA report showed inventories climbed 0.3 million barrels last week, less than forecast of a 1.6-million-barrel jump. At the same time, U.S. stockpiles reached the highest level since July 1990.

Heating oil finished in the red territory as U.S. stockpiles fell less than expected last week. Distillate fuel storage fell 200,000 barrels, defying forecast of a 1.8-million-barrel drop.
