Forties: Equinor offered for February 20-22 at dated Brent plus $2.20 a barrel FOB Hound Point.
Ekofisk: Shell offered for February 16-18 at dated Brent plus $2.85 a barrel FOB Teesside.
Johan Sverdrup: CNOOC offered for February 16-18 at dated Brent minus $1.40 a barrel FOB Mongstad. On Thursday, BP sold to Vitol, February 8-10, at dated Brent plus 60 cents. Sverdrup is not one of the crudes that can set the dated Brent price.
