LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) - North Sea Ekofisk crude differentials rose on Thursday supported by demand from Total which bought two cargoes, while Troll weakened even though two cargoes also traded.


* Total said on Tuesday its French refineries were resuming operations, for now, after a month-long strike. A lack of French crude demand due to the strike had hit differentials.
