Middle East Crude-Benchmark premiums rise as oil prices gain

SINGAPORE, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmark spot premiums for Oman, Dubai and Murban ticked up on Thursday, tracking gains in oil prices.

Oil prices climbed on Thursday as geopolitical concerns over escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine outweighed the impact of a bigger-than-expected increase in U.S. crude inventories.

Both Brent LCOc1 crude futures and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1 have risen more than 3% so far this week.
