Platts discontinues publication of Iran's Soroosh crude OSP to the Mediterranean

S&P Global Platts has discontinued publishing the official selling price for Iran's Soroosh crude to the Mediterranean, effective from the release of the January OSPs.

This follows an absence of National Iranian Oil Company information for Mediterranean-bound Soroosh OSPs from the beginning of 2022.

The following assessment codes have been discontinued and will no longer appear on PGA1058:

AAWCB00 - Soroosh OSP (to Med) vs BWAVE

AAVNH00 - Soroosh OSP (Iran to Med)

This note is published alongside the price reference change of Iranian OSPs to Europe from ICE BWAVE to ICE Brent futures, which can be found here:
