A little case of Russian crude stigma | FT Alphaville

A little case of Russian crude stigma | FT Alphaville:



"Russia’s ESPO crude blend determines the key compensation rate for Russian oil production.



As analysts at JBC Energy note on Monday, however, the crude now trades at its weakest differential to Dubai crude — the benchmark it is most commonly compared to — since it became an established blend on the market in 2010.



Whilst the analysts are quick to point out that there are legitimate fundamental reasons for the weakness, it should not go unnoticed that some regular ESPO customers seem to be missing from the market."
