MOSCOW, May 3 (Reuters) - Urals crude differentials to
dated Brent were unchanged on Wednesday, while higher oil
exports from Novorossiisk were planned for May, sources said.
* Oil exports from Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk
will
rise to 2.82 million tonnes in May from 2.66 million tonnes
planned in April, two sources familiar with the loading plan
said.
* Full Urals oil loading plans from Russia's Baltic ports,
Primorsk and Ust-Luga, haven't emerged yet, but traders expected
supplies to be at least as ample as in April.
* In May many Russian refineries have seasonal maintenance,
leaving more crude oil available for exports.
NEWS
* Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Russia
and
its OPEC+ partners were "studying" the recent fall in world oil
prices, Russian state news agencies reported.
* The world's top 11 energy traders made around $77 billion
in
earnings last year, more than double the previous year, as they
benefited from extreme price volatility following Russia's
invasion of Ukraine, Bernstein analysts said on Wednesday.
