Heavy crude discount narrows on rising demand

February 13, 20192:49 PM Reuters0 Comments

The Canadian heavy oil differential narrowed against the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) benchmark on Wednesday:

* Western Canada Select (WCS) heavy blend crude for March delivery in Hardisty, Alberta, was trading at $10.25 a barrel below WTI crude futures , narrower than Tuesday's settle at $10.90 below WTI, according to Net Energy Exchange.

* A Calgary industry source said increased demand for Canadian heavy crude, due to U.S. sanctions against Venezuela's state oil company, has kept the differential narrow, despite a fire at the Wood River, Illinois refinery, an outage in part of the Keystone oil pipeline and the Alberta government easing production cuts.

* A shutdown of a portion of TransCanada Corp's Keystone oil pipeline will last a further "days not weeks," following a leak in Missouri last week.

* A small operational issue at Imperial Oil's Strathcona, Alberta refinery has been resolved.

* Canadian oil producer Cenovus Energy said it is sticking to its plans to accelerate rail shipments in the second quarter.

* Light synthetic crude from the oil sands for March delivery traded at 10 cents per barrel over WTI, unchanged from Tuesday's settle.

* Global oil prices climbed after top exporter Saudi Arabia said it would cut crude exports and deliver an even deeper cut to its production.
