Asia’s oil-thirsty economies have been tied to Middle Eastern oil exports for decades. But all that may be about to change.

With ample US supplies and a shifting focus to clean fuel production ahead of IMO 2020, major Asia buyers are now turning to lighter and sweeter low sulfur, decreasing reliance on the heavier Middle Eastern crudes.

How will this impact global trade flows and crude prices going into 2020?

Join us at the Shifting Flows & Switching Crudes: Asia Diversifies webinar as our Asia Oil Market Insight editors examine this issue and address:

  • Outright prices vs physical market price structure

  • Changing trade dynamics: USA/Asia/Middle East

  • IMO 2020 and its complex impact on crude prices and flows


S&P Global Platts experts will also be online to answer all your questions live.
