MARKETS / CRUDE OILKDL / 02.2

Crude oil.
The assay matters.

Crude requirements assessed against a named grade, a representative assay and an agreed loading, receiving and settlement structure.

THE COMMERCIAL PERSPECTIVE

Product identity.

A grade name alone does not establish a cargo. Assay scope, origin, lifting window, quantity and the actual parties need to be understood together.
