ARGUS Russian Netbacks

The Argus Key Netbacks service is a daily summary in Russian of netbacks for crude, gasoline, naphtha, diesel, jet fuel, VGO, fuel oil, LPG, benzene, methanol, MTBE, petroleum coke and Group I base oils for Russia’s major producers. Netbacks are calculated for pipeline, rail and river shipments to all key destinations.

Russia is the largest exporter of crude and oil products, so domestic pricing often depends on global prices for crude and oil products. Such netback methodology is used in trade and state regulation in the oil products markets of many countries.

Argus calculates netbacks based on the exporter’s key costs. The calculations use market assessments of crude and oil products transportation and transshipment to export destinations for standard cargoes that meet the requirements of Argus’ methodologies.

The report covers most of key destinations.
