Alberta export desks entered 13 November with the full November Gulf nomination trio on open wires for the first time this month: QatarEnergy at 735 dollars, Kuwait at 720 dollars, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company at 740 dollars per metric tonne FOB, while China's national benchmark slipped to 5,076.75 yuan after a week of flat domestic screens.
