UK, EU economic growth concerns drive crude selloff Concerns that an economic slowdown in Europe could ripple through oil markets drove crude futures to lower settles Thursday. Sanctions push Venezuela crude into European sour market The effects of ongoing US sanctions against Venezuela are starting to be felt in the sour crude market in Europe. PDVSA points to sanctions to derail US court fight targeting Citgo Venezuela's state-owned PDVSA is arguing in US court that the latest sanctions imposed by the Trump administration should block any attempts by Venezuela's creditors to use the US justice system to auction off its Citgo assets. White House banks on Saudi oil to offset Venezuela sanctions, with no SPR release on tap The Trump administration is confident that key ally Saudi Arabia will fill any oil supply gap caused by US sanctions on Venezuela, with refineries along the Gulf Coast told not to expect any crude release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. External: Praxis Energy Agents DMCC Hapag-Lloyd pioneers first LNG retrofit in large container ship "We will be the first shipping company in the world to retrofit a container ship of this size to LNG propulsion," von Berlepsch said. Four more newbuild VLCCs set to bring diesel from Asia to Europe Some traders expected six or seven VLCCs to carry diesel to Europe and West Africa over March and April, with most sources expecting at least four.
