Platts corrects Aug 26, 27, 28 North Sea Dated Brent assessment rationales

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has corrected the Aug. 26, Aug. 27 and Aug. 28 North Sea Dated Brent assessment rationales.

The month of the assessment date ranges for Oseberg, Ekofisk and Troll should have read September, instead of August. All other previously published information was correct.

The corrected sections of the rationales should read as follows:

Aug. 26:

Oseberg was assessed 10 cents/b lower Sept. 5-25, with flat structure rolled over back end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 22 assessment.

Ekofisk was assessed 10 cents/b lower Sept. 5-25, with flat structure rolled over back end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 22 assessment.

Troll was assessed 10 cents/b lower Sept. 5-25, with flat structure rolled over back end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 22 assessment.

Aug. 27:

Oseberg was assessed 5 cents lower Sept. 6-26, with flat structure rolled over back end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 26 assessment.

Ekofisk was assessed 5 cents lower Sept. 6-26, with flat structure rolled over back end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 26 assessment.

Troll was assessed 5 cents lower Sept. 6-26, with flat structure rolled over back end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 26 assessment.

Aug. 28:

Oseberg was assessed 20 cents/b lower Sept. 7-27, with flat structure rolled over back-end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 27 assessment.

Ekofisk was assessed 20 cents/b lower Sept. 7-27, with flat structure rolled over back-end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 27 assessment.

Troll was assessed 20 cents/b lower Sept. 7-27, with flat structure rolled over back-end dates, reflecting weakness demonstrated across other crudes in the Dated Brent basket and in the absence of indications testing the Aug. 27 assessment.
