WTI vs. Brent - What is causing such an unintuitive price spread?

From what I could tell the quality of WTI crude is slightly superior to the quality of Brent crude. So if anything, we should see WTI be slightly more expensive than Brent. Which has been the case in the past many many years ago. 

So what has shifted so fundamentally that we observe such a large price gap between WTI and Brent favoring Brent by $10 per barrel in todays market? There seems to be no good answer online explaining this logically. 

What catalyst could bring WTI and Brent more inline?
