May 6 (Reuters) - U.S. physical crude differentials were steady on Tuesday, while oil futures rose 3% on signs of more demand in Europe and China.
Oil markets have been declining since last week after Saudi Arabia said it could withstand a period of lower oil prices, and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies over the weekend agreed to accelerate output increases.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration on Tuesday lowered its 2025 U.S. oil production forecast to 13.41 million barrels per day from a previous estimate of 13.51 million bpd.
In Guyana, a consortium led by Exxon Mobil produced some 668,000 barrels per day of oil last week, the company's head for South America said at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston.
Meanwhile, U.S. offshore producer Beacon Offshore Energy said it expected first oil from its Shenandoah floating production system in the U.S. Gulf in June.
U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 4.5 million barrels last week, while gasoline inventories were down 2 million barrels, sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute data. Distillate stockpiles rose by 2.2 million barrels, the sources said.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration will release weekly supply and demand data on Wednesday.
