Basrah Heavy: Iraq's new crude blend
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The first loadings of Basrah Heavy crude were exported out of Fao, southern Iraq, in June 2015. The new grade has the potential to alter heavy crude trade flows to Asia, as the appetite for heavy crude there has grown recently with the start-up of complex refineries. Across India and China, there is a gap of 430,000 b/d between ideal demand for heavy crude and allocated volumes by 2020. Basrah Heavy will help fill this gap.
