US weekly petroleum data to go out as scheduled on Wednesday, EIA says

WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Weekly petroleum data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration will run as scheduled on Wednesday despite the federal government shutdown, the agency said.

"Until further notice, the EIA.gov website will continue to be updated, and publications will continue to be released according to established schedules," the EIA said in a release.

The EIA will continue collecting energy data from survey respondents as scheduled, it said, despite the shutdown which began early Wednesday as Congress failed to reach an agreement to fund the government.
