Med crude-Urals diffs stable, Kazakhstan's KEBCO oil trades in Platts window for first time
MOSCOW, Nov 12 (Reuters) -Urals crude differentials held stable on Tuesday, while Kazakhstan's KEBCO oil cargo was sold during the afternoon trading session in the Platts window for the first time, trade sources said.
KEBCO is an oil grade sourced by Kazakhstan's oil companies and exported via Russian ports of Novorossiisk and Ust-Luga.
Oil exports from Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk are set to decline to 1.89 million metric tons, or some 460,000 barrels per day, in November from 2.42 million tons in October, two people familiar with the plan said on Tuesday.
PLATTS WINDOW
Italy's Eni sold to a trading firm Petraco 80,000 tons of KEBCO loading from Novorossiisk on Nov. 23-27 at minus $1.75 per barrel to dated Brent.
No bids or offers were shown for Urals, Azeri BTC or CPC Blend in the Platts window on Tuesday.
NEWS
Rosneft , Russia's biggest oil company, denied reports that it had any intention of taking over a major chunk of the Russian oil sector, and said such reports were a attempt to cast its chief, Igor Sechin, as a wicked influence.
Russia's crude oil output edged up in October by 9,000 barrels per day (bpd) to about 9.01 million bpd, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said on Tuesday, citing data from secondary sources such as consultancies.
