SINGAPORE, Feb 16 (Reuters) – Spot premiums for Russian ESPO Blend crude jumped to their highest in more than two years after producer Surgutneftegaz sold three cargoes via a tender, trade sources said on Wednesday.

The cargoes for late March to early April loading were sold at premiums of $7-$7.10 a barrel above Dubai quotes, they said.

ESPO crude premiums were last seen at these levels in December 2019, Refinitiv data showed.

Trading houses bought the cargoes, the sources said.
