North Sea crude grade Oseberg will load three cargoes in September, up from two in August, according to a preliminary loading schedule seen by Reuters.

Fellow North Sea grade Troll will also load three cargoes in September, down from the five cargoes scheduled to load in August.

On a barrel per day (bpd) basis, loadings of Oseberg and Troll are set at 70,000 bpd in September, compared with 45,000 bpd and 113,000 bpd in August respectively.

Both grades’ price differentials contribute to the global North Sea Dated Brent oil benchmark.
