OPIS Adds Olefin Curves
To NGL Forwards Report
ROCKVILLE, MD.-Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) by IHS Markit
announces that it is blending published
spreads between benchmark OPIS natural
gas liquids and OPIS PetroChem Wire
(PCW) olefins and polymers in its OPIS
NGL Forwards Report.
The report, which OPIS describes as a
global benchmark for U.S. NGL forward
pricing, now also features ethylene cash
cost forward curves using formulas created
by OPIS NGL pricing and OPIS PCW
petrochemical pricing. According to OPIS,
the combination of daily published ethylene
cash costs and benchmark spreads will
facilitate supply chain price management
and create instant efficiency for stakeholders
already trading the various supply chain
components as separate commodities.
"Marrying the global benchmarks of
OPIS NGLs and PCW olefins under the
OPIS umbrella enables us to provide both
the NGL and petrochemical markets with
a seamless trading tool previously unavailable. These spreads are tradable, and we
hope they will power new risk management
tools," says Diane Miller, global director
of OPIS NGL, LPG and feedstocks.
To see samples of the new reports, contact OPIS' customer service team at 301284-2000 or energycs@opisnet.com. ❒
