SINGAPORE, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmark spot premiums declined for a second session on Thursday, hovering around their lowest level in one month.

The drops came after oil prices drifted lower on Thursday，following a 2% decline in the previous session, with a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, along with rising crude inventories in the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed a desire for peace in separate phone calls with him and Trump ordered U.S. officials to begin talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

NEWS

U.S. crude oil inventories rose last week as refinery maintenance continued, while gasoline stockpiles posted a surprise draw, the Energy Information Administration $(EIA)$ said on Wednesday.

A handful of newer Chinese terminals recently began receiving oil tankers sanctioned by the U.S., according to five sources and shipping data, providing logistics relief after a major port operator unexpectedly banned such deliveries last month.

India, the No. 2 importer of crude from Russia, wants to buy Russian oil only if it is supplied by companies and ships that have not been sanctioned by the United States, the country's oil secretary said.

A consortium led by Exxon Mobil XOM.N has requested environmental permits from Guyana for its eighth project, the first that will generate gas not linked to oil production, and to explore another well at its massive offshore block, the head of the U.S. oil major in Guyana said on Wednesday.
