FAQ
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is the primary US crude oil benchmark, sourced mainly from Texas, New Mexico and North Dakota. It's the reference price for most North American crude contracts and a widely watched global indicator.
Brent is the international crude oil benchmark, sourced from North Sea oil fields. It prices roughly two-thirds of the world's internationally traded crude supplies and is the reference most commonly used across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Base oils — the primary raw material in industrial and automotive lubricants — are refined from crude oil. When WTI and Brent prices move, refining and base-oil costs move with them, which eventually feeds through to formulated lubricant pricing.
