Crude oil

Argus crude oil pricing has been entrenched in the world’s global markets since 1979. Our methodologically appropriate and transparent prices have been adopted in a wide range of commercial contracts, official selling prices, internal transfer pricing, tax formulas and economic modelling used by governments and all aspects of upstream, midstream and downstream markets.


Our key crude prices, including WTI Houston, WTI Midland, LLS and Mars are used extensively as the settlement basis for exchange-traded derivatives.
