Subscriber note: Platts to move certain feeder crude data in database

Platts proposes to relocate certain feeder crude assessments from RI (London crude assessments), RP (Singapore crude assessments) and RU (Houston crude assessments) categories to the RW (weekly feeder crudes) category in the Platts Market Assessment database, to reflect the fact that those assessments are feeder crudes. Platts expects these codes will be moved from current market data categories to RW with effect from May 1, 2014. A full table of affected assessments is provided below. Please send questions and/or comments to PGA@platts.com by November 30, 2013.
