RE:Jan 7/19 Prices @ 8:00 am "The Canadian heavy oil differential moved against the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) benchmark on Monday to its narrowest level in more than a year, as traders tried to sort out the impact of the Alberta government’s mandated production cuts:
Western Canada Select (WCS) heavy blend crude for February delivery in Hardisty, Alberta, traded on Monday afternoon for a differential as little as $9.75 a barrel below WTI crude futures, compared with Friday’s settle at $11.25 below WTI, according to Net Energy Exchange.
The intraday low is the lowest differential, or discount, on Canadian heavy crude to WTI since September, 2017, according to Net Energy data."
