Saudi's face-off for crude market share in Asia
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Saudi Arabia has so far been able to defend its market in Asia, a region which provides the highest netback for its crude. The stakes remain high this year and we expect Saudi Arabia to maintain discounted official selling prices (OSPs) for its crude. Refiners continue to benefit as a result of this competition. Refiners should increase their flexibility in sourcing a wider range of crude grades from the Middle East to take advantage of the evolving supply and pricing dynamics.
