Crude oil is the biggest medium to
keep all kinds of production activities going on all over the world. Around 924
million barrels of crude oil are consumed daily worldwide. India consumes about
3.5 million barrels of crude oil every day and India imports 83% of it. The
crude oil that is imported into India is Brent crude, as India imports oil
mainly from Gulf countries where Brent is the benchmark of crude oil. Before
proceeding, it is necessary to know what this crude oil is.
What is crude oil?
The history of crude oil is about 300
million years old. The crude oil found naturally is called crude oil. Crude oil
is a dark coloured liquid, that is, it is a kind of dark hydrocarbon substance
that is found in the world, inside the land and the sea. This crude oil is
extruded and machined, which contains petrol, diesel, kerosene, natural gas,
lubricant and Vaseline etc. At least 20 gallons of gasoline is cultivated to
make one barrel of oil. Crude oil is measured in 'barrels' and a barrel
contains 159 litres of oil.
What is an oil Benchmark?
Actually, there are two main types of
crude oil extracted in the world, one from land and the other from the sea. It also
happens that the quality of crude oil extracted from each region is different.
Some contain more sulfur and some are more flammable. Apart from this, the oil
trader also guesses from which region it will be easy to import oil and also
get cheaper? The oil which is extracted from the sea can be sold easily with
the help of ship and the one which is extracted from the land like in the US,
it is sent with the help of pipelines or trucks which is quite expensive.
Taking into account the quality, quantity, transport of all these factories,
the oil's benchmark price is fixed. Therefore, the person or country importing
oil decides on the basis of these benchmarks before purchasing oil from where
the oil should be imported?
There are mainly 3 crude oil
benchmarks worldwide.
1. "Brent Crude" oil Benchmark
This oil is extracted from the North
Sea near Norway and the United Kingdom. This oil is high in sulfur and a good
quantity of diesel is made from it. Two-thirds of the world's crude contracts
are set in this Brent crude oil benchmark.
2. What is a "WTI Brent" Benchmark?
WTI Brent Oil with this benchmark is
extracted from American oil wells. It is transported through a pipeline. There
is a state in America, Oklahoma, this oil is stored at this place. It is used
to make low-sulfur gasoline and low-sulfur diesel. It is lighter due to its
lower API gravity and sweeter due to lower sulfur.
3. Dubai and Oman Benchmark
Oil extracted from Arab and Middle
East countries are sold by referencing this benchmark.
What is the difference between Brent
crude oil and WTI Brent both benchmarks?
1. Brent crude oil is extracted from
the North Sea near Norway and the United Kingdom while WTI Brent oil is
extracted from American oil wells.
2. The price of Brent crude is the
international benchmark price used by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC), while the WTI Brent price is a benchmark for US oil prices.
3. Brent crude oil futures are mainly
traded on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in London, while WTI Brent
futures are traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).
4. Two-thirds of the world's crude
contracts are set in this Brent crude oil benchmark, while WTI Brent is traded
primarily in the US only. That is, the market of Brent crude oil is much larger
than that of WTI Brent.
5. Brent crude has a lower shipping
cost as it is sourced directly from the sea from where ships are easily loaded
and shipped to various sailing points while WTI Brent's shipping cost is higher
because it is supported by a pipeline with Cushing, Stores are made in places
like Oklahoma and traders have to import from there which is quite expensive.
