Seven Russian crudes are trading, 5 of which are light/low sulphur content and 2 are heavy/high sulphur content.

  • The most common one is Urals (based on volume), a blend of heavy/high sulphur oil and lighter/low sulphur oils. Urals trades at a large discount due to the high sulphur content.
  • Volumes of other crudes are relatively small.
