European Crude Markets Tightening: Kpler

OIL

European crudes, such as Troll and Oseburg, climbed to a premium of $5/b against North Sea Dated, the highest since Aug. 2022 amid a tight market, according to Kpler citing Argusmedia’s price assessments.

  • The tightness in the European market is being driven by a reduction in autumn maintenance turnarounds, lower distillate stocks, and declining imports from the Middle East, Kpler said.
  • The fall in arrivals from the Middle East and the tight distillate stocks has given a particular boost for medium grades such as Johan Sverdrup, which hit a record $5.10/b premium over North Sea Dated.
