Platts updates revamp for PGA Asia oil assessment pages

Platts has updated its planned reorganization and enhancement of pages that display Asian refined product assessments on Platts Global Alert, to reflect anticipated amendments to its China oil market assessments.

Platts announced on May 17, 2012, that it plans to discontinue several China fuel oil assessments and update its assessment methodology for others.
