MOSCOW, March 7 (Reuters) - Urals crude differentials
were unchanged on Tuesday, while oil exports from Russian
western ports were set to decline in March, according to Reuters
calculations based on traders' data.

March
were set at 8.68 million tonnes, roughly unchanged from February
but down on a daily basis, as March has three more days.

Tengizchevroil, was down by 11% over March 1-6 owing to
unscheduled maintenance that could last up to two weeks, two
industry sources told Reuters.

Blend in
the Platts window on Tuesday, traders said.

despite plans to work with Poland to find alternative supply.
