Heavy discount narrows as inventory levels shrink

February 3, 20202:08 PM Reuters0 Comments

Oil pumpjackCanadian heavy crude’s discount versus U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude narrowed on Monday, the first day of the new monthly trading cycle.

Alberta oil inventories have shrunk as rail movement increases, a Calgary industry source said. Anticipation of downtime for maintenance at oil production sites in March, the current delivery period being traded, also reduced the discount, the source said.

Western Canada Select (WCS) heavy blend crude for March delivery in Hardisty, Alberta, was trading at $19.75 per barrel below WTI, according to NE2 Canada Inc, narrower than Friday’s settle of $20.45.

Light synthetic crude from the oil sands traded at $4.30 below WTI, after settling on Friday at $3.65 under WTI.

Global oil prices fell to the lowest in more than a year as the coronavirus outbreak curtailed Chinese demand and sparked potential supply cuts by OPEC and its allies.

The proposed Enbridge Inc Line 3 pipeline replacement cleared a key hurdle with a Minnesota regulator.
