Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) plans to reduce crude deliveries to Asia customers in August and September, two people familiar with the matter said, prompting the benchmark Murban grade to trade as much as about $7/bbl above Brent this week. The sources said spot supply will drop roughly 5%. The reduction applies to OTC sales and does not affect physical barrels purchased via the Abu Dhabi ICE. One source attributed the cut to planned maintenance at Abu Dhabi onshore fields.
