International crude:Oseberg barrels may land in Asia

摘要

In a steady start to the week,Brent crude futures regained some of last week's lost ground,but the physical market was largely unchanged with little talk heard in the North Sea grades.The wet market was again dominated by talk on Oseberg and speculation as to whether or not a VLCC would be fixed for Asia.Sources said that Phibro acquired three cargoes of Oseberg,leading traders to suspect the US trader is the most likely to work the arbitrage to Asia,although no ship has been fixed.
