North Sea Crude-Ekofisk weakens on lower offers

LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - * Ekofisk differentials weakened on Thursday due to lower offers, making the grade the cheapest benchmark grade and therefore sets dated Brent.

* Forties has been supported by tighter supply as a result of planned maintenance at the Buzzard field.

* No indications were seen on other benchmark grades.

WINDOW SUMMARY

* Ekofisk: Total (LSE: 524773.L - news) sold to Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) a cargo loading on Oct (HKSE: 3366-OL.HK - news) . 8-10 at dated Brent plus 55 cents, down 10 cents from a bid on Wednesday. Another cargo was offered at dated Brent plus 45 cents.

The offer implies a value of around dated Brent plus 8 cents when applying the 32-cent Platts quality premium for October cargoes. (Reporting by Alex Lawler; Editing by Grge Mahlich)
