North Sea Crude-Weaker as potential extra Ekofisk cargo weighs

LONDON, March 8 (Reuters) - North Sea Forties, Ekofisk and Troll crude differentials weakened on Wednesday, with traders citing a potential additional Ekofisk cargo as weighing on the market.

PLATTS WINDOW
* Indications are on a free-on-board (FOB) basis unless marked as cost, insurance and freight (CIF) or delivered at place (DAP).
