LONDON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Differentials for the North Sea
Forties crude oil stream dipped on Friday after Litasco offered
a cheaper cargo, outweighing higher bids from Glencore and
Vitol.
* The Unite Union this week announced a possible strike from
December to February impacting offshore fields operated by
TotalEnergies, which feed into the Forties pipeline system and
Teeside and Sullom Voe terminals.
* According to data from the Oil and Gas Authority on the
potentially affected fields, Culzean produces around 98,000
barrels of oil equivalent per day of which 14,000 bpd are oil;
Elgin around 51,000 boe/d, half of which is oil; Franklin around
81,000 boe/d of which 32,000 bpd are oil.
