Libyan return adds pressure

摘要

1. Libya's NOC lifted force majeure measures at the Ras Lanuf, Es Sider, Zueitina and Marsa el-Hariga terminals, along with the Elephant field. Algerian light sweet Saharan Blend remained at parity to North Sea Dated, with Sonatrach thought to have almost cleared its August programme. 2. Azeri BTC Blend made gains against North Sea Dated following the release of a tight August schedule. Just 690,000 b/d will load next month, 3pc less than in July. A flurry of prompt Libyan crude fixtures supported Mediterranean freight rates and bolstered delivered grades.
