Platts clarifies North Sea basket (AAGIZ00) index

S&P Global Platts would like to clarify that its North Sea basket index (code AAGIZ00) reflects a straight average of the outright prices for Brent/Ninian Blend, Forties, Oseberg and Ekofisk. The index does not include Troll.

Platts introduced Troll to the Dated Brent basket from January 2018 loading cargoes, but did not include it in the North Sea Basket average calculation.
