SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to relocate Al Shaheen, Murban on PGA, COM

Following the inclusion of Al Shaheen and Murban into the assessment process for Dubai and Oman crude oil, Platts proposes to relocate those assessments in Crude Oil Marketwire and on Platts Global Alert to allow for easier comparison with other crudes reflected in the process.

The Platts Al Shaheen assessment (database symbol AAPEV00) and Murban assessment (AAKNL00) are currently published in a "Middle East Spot Assessments" table in Crude Oil Marketwire.

Both assessments would be relocated to the "Middle East" table on page one of COM, with Platts Oman and Upper Zakum assessments.

On PGA, Platts currently publishes both assessments on PGA page 2220.

Platts will add both assessments to PGA page 2210, alongside Dubai, Oman and Upper Zakum assessments.

Platts proposes to introduce these changes on Tuesday, May 3, the first day in May for Middle East crude oil price assessments.
