MOSCOW, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Urals, KEBCO and Siberian
Light loadings from Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk in
February were set at 2.38 million tonnes, above 2.18 million
tonnes in the January plan.
On a daily basis February oil loadings from the port will
rise 21% from January, Reuters calculations showed.
Novorossisisk will also load in February some 0.28 million
tonnes of crude oil from January loading plan, as two Suezmax
vessels from the January schedule were carried forward to
February.
This is down from 0.52 million tonnes of crude carried
forward from December to January due to the weather, Reuters
sources said.
Kazakhstan has changed the name of the oil it exports via
Russian sea ports from Urals to Kazakhstan Export Blend Crude
Oil (KEBCO) to dissociate it from oil originating in Russia in
order to avoid sanction risks and issues with financing.
