LONDON, April 26 (Reuters) - North Sea Forties crude differentials were steady on Wednesday for a third session as traders awaited the release of loading programmes for June.


WTI ADDITION


* Texas crude is set to assume a key role in the Brent benchmark as oil-index publisher S&P Global Platts adds U.S. WTI Midland crude to its dated Brent assessment for June deliveries.
* Loading programmes for the North Sea grades that are already included in dated Brent are expected in the next few days.


PLATTS WINDOW
* Indications are on a free-on-board (FOB) basis unless marked as cost, insurance and freight (CIF) or delivered at place (DAP).
* No deals or other price indications, a trade source said. (Reporting by Alex Lawler; Editing by Richard Chang)
