Traders in Canada's oil capital Calgary expressed somesurprise at the limited price action in the market so far thismonth, but said there had been little fundamental news to drivetrading.

"Other than the leak at Griffith and reapportionment of 6B,there were no surprises this month," one crude trader said.

Enbridge Inc temporarily shut crude pipelines inand out of its Griffith, Indiana, terminal following a leak atthe end of February, and also announced additional rationing ofspace on Line 6B, which carries 231,000 barrels per day of crudebetween Griffith and Sarnia, Ontario.
