This all comes at a time of falling production among other major producers, potentially leaving the global market vulnerable to supply shocks. A price premium for heavy crude has already been apparent on the Gulf Coast, said Ashley Petersen, a senior oil market analyst at Houston-based Stratas Advisors, raising the possibility that consumers could see higher costs following US sanctions.
