North Sea crudes frm against benchmark

摘要

Crude prices fell as oversupply concerns re-emerged. Atlantic basin bench- mark North Sea Dated fell by $3.58/bl to $57.78/bl, while US light sweet marker WTI shed $4.15/bl to $52.78/bl. North Sea crudes frmed against North Sea Dated on strong buying interest in August-loading cargoes and as a backlog in foating storage cleared. Gullfaks, Statfjord and Flotta Gold cargoes loading in the frst half of August achieved higher values against the benchmark than July-loading shipments.
