ЦЕНА НЕФТИ: ПОКА НИЖЕ $64
РЕЙТЕР , BLOOMBERG - К 9.26 МСК нефть сорта Brent торговалась по $63,49 на 0,26 процента выше предыдущего закрытия.
Фьючерсы на североамериканский сорт WTI к этому времени торговались по $57,60 на 0,30 процента выше предыдущего закрытия.
Трейдеры полагают, что незначительный рост цен был вызван приостановкой работы нефтепровода Forties, транспортирующего одноименный сорт нефти, влияющий на цену эталонного сорта Brent. Среди прочих факторов роста трейдеры также отметили возможное замедление роста нефтедобычи в США.
Число буровых установок сократилось впервые за шесть недель до 747 единиц на неделе по 15 декабря, свидетельствуют данные нефтесервисной компании Baker Hughes.
Несмотря на снижение буровой активности, уровень добычи в США все ещё превышает уровень добычи годом ранее, когда действовали менее 500 установок . Объем производства вырос на 16 процентов с середины 2016 года до 9,8 миллиона баррелей в сутки.
Увеличение объема добычи в США, в основном за счет усиления сланцевого бурения, скорее всего, вернет рынок к избытку предложения в первой половине 2018 года, сообщило Международное энергетическое агентство (МЭА).
Данные Управления энергетической информации США также указали на избыток предложения в начале следующего года, при прогнозируемом избытке предложения в объеме 167.000 баррелей в сутки в 2018 году.

OIL PRICE: BELOW $64 YET
REUTERS, BLOOMBERG - Oil prices rose on Monday amid an ongoing North Sea pipeline outage and because a strike by Nigerian oil workers threatened its crude exports.
Signs that booming U.S. crude output growth may be slowing also supported crude prices, although the 2018 outlook still points to ample supply despite production cuts led by OPEC.
Brent crude futures LCOc1, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at $63.72 a barrel at 0821 GMT, up 49 cents, or 0.8 percent, from their last close.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were at $57.70 a barrel, up 40 cents, or 0.7 percent.
The higher prices came on the back of a strike by Nigerian oil workers and the ongoing North Sea Forties pipeline system outage, which provides crude that underpins the Brent benchmark.
North Sea operator Ineos declared force majeure on all oil and gas shipments through its Forties pipeline system last week after cracks were found.
"The force majeure ... is acting as a major prop for crude," said Sukrit Vijayakar, director of energy consultancy Trifecta.
In Nigeria, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, whose members mainly work in the upstream oil industry, started industrial action on Monday after talks with government agencies ended in deadlock, potentially hitting the country's production and exports.
"Oil prices are getting a bounce... as the Nigerian oil union talks have hit an impasse and will begin strike action," said Stephen Innes, head of trading for Asia/Pacific at futures brokerage OANDA.
In the United States, energy companies cut rigs drilling for new production for the first time in six weeks, to 747, in the week ended Dec. 15, energy services firm Baker Hughes said on Friday.
Despite the dip in drilling, activity is still well above this time last year, when the rig count was below 500, and actual U.S. production has soared by 16 percent since mid-2016 to 9.8 million barrels per day (bpd).
This means U.S. output is fast approaching that of top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia, which are pumping 10 million bpd and 11 million bpd respectively.
The rising U.S. output also undermines efforts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which is de facto led by Saudi Arabia, and a group of non-OPEC producers including Russia to withhold production to tighten the market and prop up prices.
Largely because of rising shale output from the United States, the International Energy Agency said global oil markets would show a slight supply surplus of around 200,000 bpd during the first half of 2018.
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed a similar surplus for that period and still indicates a supply overhang of 167,000 bpd for all of 2018.
