MOSCOW, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Urals crude differentials to dated Brent held steady on Wednesday, while oil loadings from Russia's western ports in March were set to fall by some 8% on a daily basis compared to revised lifting plans for February, two market sources said and Reuters calculations showed.
Exports and transit of Urals, KEBCO and Siberian Light oil grades form Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk in March were scheduled at around 1.8 million-1.85 million barrels per day (bpd).
Oil export and transit figures for March could rise, traders said, if recent drone attacks on Russian refineries mean more crude is earmarked for export.
Kazakhstan's oil exports are on schedule via its main export route, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), the country's energy minister said on Wednesday, despite damage to a pumping station from a drone attack last week.
The consortium said earlier on Wednesday that the damage will take two months to repair. It has said it is rerouting flows to bypass the damaged pumping station in the meantime.
