Why use our data?

Modern assessments

Created to tackle the opacity of trading activity and infrequent moves in incumbent benchmarks, which rely on sporadically-reported data, often showing little change for extended periods.

Data, not journalism

Bids, offers and deals for West African crudes received into the data lake power our indexes for these grades. These data points are enhanced by the refining value of the assessed crudes, derived from GX refined product and LPG prices, adding further granularity to the index during periods of thinner trading activity.

Relevant prices

Our initial data set includes assessments for several grades: Qua Iboe, Bonny Light, Bonga, Dalia, Djeno, Doba, Escravos, Forcados, Girassol, and Hungo.
