SINGAPORE, July 24 (Reuters) -Spot premiums for Middle East crude benchmarks Oman, Dubai and Murban eased on Wednesday despite the flurry of activities on window that led to the delivery of another two cargoes to PetroChina.

ARBITRAGE

India's Reliance Industries RELI.NS has received approval from the United States to resume importing oil from Venezuela despite Washington's sanctions, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Before U.S. oil sanctions were first imposed on Venezuela in 2019, Reliance was the second-largest individual buyer of Venezuelan crude after China's CNPC.

SINGAPORE CASH DEALS

Cash Dubai's premium to swaps fell 11 cents to $1.61 a barrel.

PetroChina will receive a September-loading Upper Zakum crude cargo from Reliance and a Murban cargo from BP following the deals.
