EMEA middle distillates: Key market indicators this week European distillates markets remain relatively weak on the prompt as increasing lockdown measures chip away at demand, balanced somewhat by reduced supply, while a contango in the futures market has seen traders talk of increasing floating storage opportunities. East-West gasoil price spread hits 7-week high, to push Middle East, India barrels to Asia The front month gasoil Exchange of Futures for Swaps price spread widened to a multi-week high on renewed supply-led strength in Asia, and this will likely lead to an increased flow of barrels from the Middle East and India to a tight market in Singapore, where demand is gradually rising. OIL FUTURES: Price rally extends as market eyes COVID-19 vaccine, OPEC+ talks An overnight oil price rally continued in midday US trading Nov. 16 as demand outlooks improved following fresh COVID-19 vaccine news and as the OPEC+ group moved closer to extending output cuts into 2021. European LSGO futures net speculative length rebounds from 4-year low Speculative net long positions in ICE low sulfur gasoil futures rose 28,389 contracts to 26,380 in the week to Nov. 10, jumping back into positive territory, according to ICE data. Brazil's Petrobras plans to double the number of oil wells at the massive Buzios Field Brazilian state-led oil company Petrobras plans to double the number of wells at the massive Buzios Field in the country's offshore subsalt frontier to about 100 over the next couple of years amid a cost-cutting and efficiency program, the company said in a statement Nov. 13. Asia crude - Key market indicators this week The crude oil market in Asia started the week of Nov. 16 slightly higher, amid continued optimism from the COVID-19 vaccine news and possible extension of OPEC+ output cuts into 2021, although rising coronavirus cases in Europe and the US could weigh on sentiment. Credit concerns intensify in bunker industry amid firming crude Coronavirus and its downward pressure on oil prices may have bought the bunker industry's strained credit prospects some time but rising prices may undo that, according to industry experts. USGC middle distillate flows to Europe at 120,000 mt so far in Nov: cFlow US Gulf Coast middle distillate shipments expected to arrive into Europe in November are scheduled at around 120,000 mt so far, with two cargoes loaded over the past seven days heading to Northwest Europe, data from S&P Global Platts trade flow software cFlow showed Nov. 16. Asia middle distillates - Key market indicators this week Asia's middle distillate markets are expected to be steady to slightly firmer in the week starting Nov. 16 as sentiment for jet fuel remains firm on the back of heightened heating demand, while gasoil is likely to remain supported due to curtailed refinery production which has led to a crimp in supplies. US crude stocks expected higher amid weak refinery demand, lower exports US crude oil inventories likely edged higher in the week ended Nov. 13 as a slowdown in exports offset an expected uptick in refinery demand, an S&P Global Platts analysis showed Nov. 16. OIL FUTURES: Crude settles higher on COVID-19 vaccine progress, OPEC+ talks Oil futures settled higher Nov. 16 as supply and demand outlooks grew more bullish on COVID-19 vaccine progress and signs that OPEC+ was moving closer to extending output cuts into 2021. AMERICAS BUNKERS: Key market indicators Nov. 16-20 Persistent demand worries in Latin America Buying interest firms at New York, Philadelphia REFINERY NEWS: France's Grandpuits to halt CDU, other units in operation Total said Nov. 16 that the crude distillation unit at its Grandpuits refinery will halt today but the other units at the refinery will remain in operation. Saudi Aramco still evaluating increase of maximum capacity to 13 mil b/d: bond prospectus Government has instructed company to increase capacity Aramco embarking on second international bond sale Capital raised to be used for general corporate purposes Rotterdam hosts world's largest LNG bunker operation Biomethane involved to reduce carbon footprint Nine LNG bunker vessels now operating in Rotterdam area ANALYSIS: Mounting piracy off Gulf of Guinea unsettles tanker owners Piracy attacks in 2020 jump 40% on key oil transit route Owners opt for armed guards, some start to reconsider routes Pirates tend to target smaller tankers carrying oil products OPEC+ ministers to begin talks in earnest on extending oil cuts into 2021 Monitoring committee to meet online Nov. 17 Delegates review 3- or 6-month cut extension Analysts say weak cut compliance could cost $7/b REFINERY NEWS: Total Antwerp back from maintenance: sources Total's refinery in Antwerp has completed its maintenance but is not back to full capacity, according to market sources. Europe and Africa residual fuel: Key market indicators this week Backwardation deepens in 0.5%S FO barges Tightness of HSFO in South Africa likely to last some days Interest in environmental market products hit record high: ICE Pollution costs 'critical' to energy transition: ICE North America strongest contributor to growth Voluntary climate commitments add to liquidity Uniper Energy's Fujairah refinery completes maintenance Uniper operates two 40,000 b/d distillation units in Fujairah. Australia's Woodside confident green hydrogen will become competitive Renewable technologies' costs seeing significant falls Role for blue as well as green hydrogen Asia residual fuel market - Key market indicators this week Singapore 0.5%S FO values expected to remain supported November 3.5%S FO demand so far firmer than October's level
