North Sea Crude-Forties diffs nudge lower as flows pick up

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - * North Sea Forties crude diffs edged lower on Tuesday, after flows through a major pipeline ramped up following a brief outage earlier in the week.

* Forties Pipeline System operator BP said flows of Fortes through the system were increasing after a brief outage on Sept. 4, but declined to give an estimate of how much they had risen or when they would be back to normal.

* Flows through FPS are usually around 480,000 bpd.

* In more supportive news, another parcel from the September loading programme, F0907, was deferred to Sept. 18-20 from the early part of the month. A number of cargoes have been deferred or dropped on account of lower-than-expected supply of Forties this month because of maintenance at the Buzzard oilfield.
