Med crude-Urals diffs steady, Russia's refinery maintenance plans revised for Oct
MOSCOW, Oct 9 (Reuters) -Urals crude oil differentials were stable to dated Brent on Wednesday, while Russian refinery maintenance plans have been revised for October leaving more crude oil for exports, Reuters calculations showed.
Russia plans to take offline 4.0 million metric tons of refining capacity in October, an increase of 67% from an earlier plan, Reuters calculations based on data from industry sources show.
Oil loadings from Russian western ports of Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk, are expected to rise by 5% from September to 2.25 million barrels per day.
