SINGAPORE, Aug 12 (Reuters) -Middle East crude benchmark Dubai slipped for the first time in three sessions on Monday while the spot premium for Oman rose.

IFAD Murban's spot premium to Dubai crude extended gains for a third session to rise just above $1 a barrel.

SAUDI ALLOCATION

Saudi crude oil exports to China are set to fall in September to about 43 million barrels, several trade sources said on Monday, citing monthly allocations for term buyers.

September exports from the world's top exporter to China are estimated to slip by about 3 million barrels from a revised volume of about 46 million barrels in August, the sources said.

PetroChina and the Fujian refinery plan to load less Saudi oil in September than August, the sources said.

The Chinese major bought 6.5 million barrels of Middle East crude via the Platts trading window last month, trade data showed.

Separately, there is likely a scheduled overhaul at the Fujian refinery in November, another source said.

Another three North Asian refiners will be receiving steady crude supplies from Saudi Arabia, the sources said.

OSP

Kuwait has kept the official selling price (OSP) for Kuwait Export Crude (KEC) to Asia in September unchanged at $1.25 a barrel above the average of Oman/Dubai quotes, a price document reviewed by Reuters showed on Monday.

The producer also cut the September Kuwait Super Light crude (KSLC) OSP to $1.25 a barrel above Oman/Dubai quotes, 10 cents lower than the previous month.

SINGAPORE CASH DEALS

Cash Dubai's premium to swaps fell 21 cents to 74 cents a barrel.
