LONDON (Reuters) -- Oil prices were steady at $72 Tuesday, with U.S. refinery shutdowns reviving supply concerns just as the summer driving season draws to a close.

11:00 am : Stocks are taking a turn for the worse as selling remains widespread across most areas. The Financial sector is now down 1.8%, still acting as the market’s biggest headwind; but the Energy sector ranking a close second also removes some notable leadership as crude for October delivery is now down 0.9% near $71.30/bbl.

Traders relieved that Hurricane Felix spares Gulf oil installations, but expect a strong hurricane season overall.

September 5 2007: 7:34 AM EDT

VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- Oil prices were steady Wednesday as traders balanced relief that Hurricane Felix had spared key oil installations with concerns that it could be a nasty hurricane season in the Atlantic.
The market awaited a midweek U.S. government petroleum data expected to report declines in crude and gasoline stocks. Traders were not expecting OPEC to hike output.

Last Update: 10:48 AM ET Sep 5, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures barely budged Wednesday, struggling to hold their ground above the $75 level after reaching a one-month high in the previous session.

Concerns over tight supplies of petroleum products, as well as the potential for damage to energy facilities in the Gulf of Mexico during what's expected to be an active remainder to the Atlantic hurricane season, continued to provide support for prices.
Crude for October delivery edged up by 8 cents to $75.16 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
