Kenyan export pipeline FID expected by end-2019: Africa Oil CEO Plans for a final investment decision on Kenya's oil export pipeline are on track for late-2018 or early-2019, though some agreements might still need to be "worked out" after Total's recent buyout of Maersk Oil's assets in the country, Africa Oil CEO Keith Hill said Monday. No discussions with China for Saudi Aramco stake, says CEO Saudi Aramco's CEO Amin Nasser has dismissed speculation that the state oil giant is in talks with Chinese sovereign wealth funds, or any others, as an alternative strategy to its long-mooted listing on international markets slated for 2018. ICE Brent/WTI spread falls on US rig count, Iraqi pledge The ICE Brent/WTI spread narrowed Monday under pressure from the fall in US drilling activity combined with Iraq's intentions to raise exports from the country's southern terminals. ANALYSIS: Across-the-board US stock decline would be bullish A likely draw last week of US stocks of crude, gasoline and distillates would represent the first across-the-board decline since the week ending July 28, sending a bullish message to traders that could nudge oil futures higher. TANKERS: Clean MR rates hit year-to-date low on slow Atlantic trade Clean freight rates for Medium Range tankers positioned in Northwest Europe hit a new year-to-date low Friday with too little trans-Atlantic trade to keep the ever increasing number of tankers busy.
