LONDON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - North Sea crude differentials for Forties fell after BP sold a cargo to Gunvor, making it the cheapest grade in the Brent basket, while WTI Midland also dipped on the back of Trafigura's purchase of two cargoes from Phillips 66 and Equinor. PLATTS WINDOW * Indications are on a free-on-board (FOB) basis unless marked as cost, insurance and freight (CIF) or delivered at place (DAP). * WTI Midland: Phillips 66 sold to Trafigura CIF Rotterdam at dated Brent plus $3.00 loading Dec. 5-9.
