North Sea Crude-WTI Midland rises slightly

LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - U.S. WTI Midland crude differentials rose slightly on Friday after a deal.

PLATTS WINDOW

* Indications are free on board (FOB) unless marked as cost, insurance and freight $(CIF)$ or delivered at place (DAP).

* There was one deal, a trade source said.

* WTI Midland: Trafigura sold to Phillips 66 a CIF Rotterdam cargo at dated Brent plus $1.80, equal to roughly dated Brent plus 72 cents on an FOB basis, according to Reuters calculations.

* That was up slightly from Wednesday's value of dated Brent plus 68 cents. There were no WTI deals or indications reported on Thursday.

* Forties: Mercuria was heard to be bidding for the grade on Friday, although details were not available.
