The jump in premiums followed increases in Middle East crude benchmarks Dubai and Oman as fighting broke out between Israel and Iran last week, raising concerns of supply disruptions in the key producing region.
Last month, QatarEnergy sold May-loading al-Shaheen crude at a premium of $1.29 a barrel to Vitol.
