US Gulf Coast crude exports to South Korea nearly tripled week on week, coinciding with wider Dubai/LOOP Sour and Brent/WTI swap spread and despite persistently high freight rates from the US Gulf Coast to North Asia. Waterborne crude exports from PADD III to South Korea increased by 2.717 million barrels week on week to 4.225 million barrels for the week ended October 19, according to data from PIRA. |

The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port launched Monday the first of what will be weekly quality reports on its medium sour blended crude LOOP Sour, a move to bring more up-to-date information to market participants that runs counter to current practices. |

The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port last week saw a rare tanker of light sweet crude, evidence of US Gulf Coast refiners looking to run more sweet crudes as a result of the narrower sweet-sour crude spread. Trafigura last week imported into LOOP 700,000 barrels of 44.3 API Saharan Blend on the tanker Cape Baxley. That is the first time the crude has arrived at LOOP since at least September 2015, though Valero typically imports about 1 million barrels/month of Saharan Blend into nearby Gramercy, Louisiana. |

But then, that’s oil for you: Things are always changing, and yet some things remain the same. We asked our oil editors and analysts around the world for what they think are outstandingly important drivers in the markets, and these are items they chose, in no particular order. |
