This insight piece explores the impact of Libyan port blockades, Algerian crude supply increases and Sidi Kerir crude loadings on European crude importers. Total Libyan crude/condensate exports to Europe have declined 150kbd in May m-o-m, reducing the supply of light-sweet crude in Europe. Aside from the tussle over European light sweet crude supply, North Africa is also having a growing impact on Europe’s desire to displace Russian Urals. With this in mind, crude/condensate (from light-sweet to medium-sour) loading from the North African region is likely to become an even more important element in determining European crude supply balances.
