FUTURES 5: Crude settles higher on US stock draws, geopolitical risks Crude futures settled higher Thursday, supported by US stock draws and geopolitical risks. West Africa demand diverts NWE gasoline exports from North America Growing gasoline demand in West Africa is pulling more supply from Northwest Europe, curtailing exports to the New York Harbor and shifting the focus of traders there to securing August supply. Total ramps up Urals, North Sea interest as Iranian exports exit European market Oil watchers dismiss supply risk from Red Sea attacks, but wary of escalation Oil trade will not be significantly disrupted by the halting of Saudi Aramco shipments through the Bab el-Mandeb strait unless the security situation deteriorates, market watchers say. European bunker buying still lackluster on strong crude: sources Buying interest in the bunkering hub of Rotterdam is lacking as the crude complex continues a sustained period of strength. Bunker suppliers unsurprised by lower H1 fuel oil throughput at Rotterdam Bunker suppliers at the bunkering hub of Rotterdam were unsurprised that the Rotterdam port data Thursday showed a fall in oil product throughput for the first half of 2018. August fuel oil crack decouples from crude complex on strong fundamentals The fuel oil crack has shrugged off its typical inverse relationship with the crude complex, leading to a period of decoupling since mid-July. Spanish Repsol's Q2 throughput falls 6% on year to 10.9 million mtoe Repsol operates five refineries in Spain at Bilbao, Cartagena, Tarragona, Puertollano and Corunna. Total's lifts 2018 output target as profits swell Production in Q2 surpassed a previous record and rose to 2.717 million b/d of oil equivalent, up 8.7% from the same period last year. US crude shipments to China drop sharply for July, August "Sinopec will continue to take deliveries of crude from the US in August, but will reduce buying from the producer for the rest of the year," an executive said. ABS updates scrubbers advisory to aid global sulfur compliance New orders for scrubbers for both new construction and existing vessels is accelerating BLOC announces consortium for blockchain use in bunkering The technology will be used to provide traceability and transparency in the marine fuel supply chain. UPDATE: Defence for ex-BP Singapore employee Clarence Chang questions evidence Trial continues in August.
