How Is Bonny Light Crude Oil Priced?
International crude oil transactions commonly use recognized market benchmarks as part of their pricing methodology. Depending on the transaction, a crude may be priced using a benchmark such as Brent together with an agreed differential or other pricing mechanism.
The applicable differential can reflect factors including crude quality, market conditions, location, timing and commercial terms. The actual formula must be agreed by the contracting parties and should not be assumed from a general market price.
Illustrative example only:
Benchmark: Brent — $80/bbl
Agreed crude differential: +$1/bbl
Illustrative crude price: $81/bbl
Any brokerage, facilitation or other commercial fee is separate from the crude differential unless the contractual pricing structure expressly provides otherwise. Fees should be agreed transparently between the relevant parties.
