Saudi energy minister says 'no change' to plans for Aramco IPO in 2018 Saudi Arabia's plans to list part of its state Aramco oil giant on international markets remain "on track" for 2018, oil minister Khalid al-Falih said Tuesday, dismissing recent reports that the public offering could be shelved in favor of private sale. Iran backs extending OPEC cuts to end-2018: deputy oil minister A senior Iranian minister indicated support Tuesday for extending OPEC's production cut agreement to the end of next year, but was less clear on Iran's own contribution to such an extension. Crude futures nearly flat as momentum from Iraq fighting fades Crude futures were little changed Tuesday as signs of plentiful global supply helped offset concerns stemming from fighting between the Iraqi army and Kurdish forces in northern Iraq that has reduced crude flows. India's BPCL sells first 180 CST HSFO on fallout from tank blaze BPCL has had for the first time resort to exporting 180 CST HSFO as options to store the fuel got curbed due to the blaze October 6 at its high speed diesel storage tank at Butcher Island off the east coast of Mumbai. High Med HSFO cargo premium to NWE barges has traders eying arbitrage High sulfur fuel oil prices in the Mediterranean on tight supply are raising the chances of oil being arbitraged from Northwest Europe into the region, traders said Tuesday. FEATURE: Northwest Europe bunker market meets in subdued spirits The Northwest European marine fuel market is adjusting to lower demand as tightening emission regulations and credit limits hold back bunker traders. TRADER NOTE: Fuel supplier WFS hires Jeff Smith as COO External: Wired Bunkering ANALYSIS: Saudi Aramco IPO shift may have market questioning future of OPEC cuts Saudi Arabia's ongoing commitment to OPEC production cuts -- aimed at boosting prices -- has been cast into question by reports that the world's largest exporter of crude may be considering an alternative strategy to listing its state-producer Aramco on international markets. Coal freight arbitrage may be impacted by low sulfur oil directive: SSY There are "inflationary implications for freight rates," Langston said.
