Unchanged temperature outlook for balance of Nov - very cold for next week, then colder than normal for late Nov. Very cold in mid-Nov in Chicaco means daytime high is around freezing. Still, always good to start winter

Positive support for WTI
321 crack spreads still high.
WTI -$1.25 WoW to close $85.66.
321 crack spreads widened $0.94 WoW to $30.39.
Crack spreads ~$30 provide big margins for refineries ie, big incentive to buying crude to maximize runs.

Johan Sverdrup 0 to 0.75 mmbd led to Norway 1.31 mmbd in 09/19 to 1.85 mmbd today
BUT Aker BP says JS moving from plateau to decline in late 24/early 25. Water now hitting some wells.
Can they arrest decline with H2O handling, more wells, etc?
