* There was a single deal, a trade source said.

  • WTI Midland: Repsol sold to Gunvor for February 9-13 at dated Brent plus $2.95 a barrel CIF Rotterdam. That trade equalled dated Brent plus $1.44 on a FOB basis, according to Reuters calculations. Gunvor bid for February 4-19 at dated Brent plus $3.50 a barrel CIF Rotterdam. The traded level and the bid were both higher than an offer on Thursday, as BP offered a cargo at dated Brent plus $2.30 a barrel CIF Rotterdam.

  • 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.
