The WTI / Brent spread has been tightening despite th= tensions in Egypt / Middle East. The spread now is all about the WTI=supply situation delivery point in Cushing - Oklahoma has 50 million bbls, but 85% of that is not light sweet=oil and not deliverable into the WTI Nymex contract. The market is st=rting to realize this now. The measures taken place=to deal with the WTI oversupply over the last few years have gone too far.&=bsp; Seaway pipeline is taking light sweet oil out of Cushing down to the G=If Coast and pipelines have come online in the last few months which are taking WTI produced in Texas directly to t=e US Gulf Coast instead of to Cushing. So, we are looking at r=nning out of WTI completely in Cushing over the next 6 weeks. The Egypt situation will only start mattering if viol=nce affects the control of the Suez Canal, which at this point it does not=appear likely to happen. The cost of transporting from Cushing to the=Gulf is approx $5/bbl so longer term the expectation is that WTI would settle at least $5 under Brent.
