SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to stop publishing OSPs for Iran's Norooz crude

Please note that Platts will stop publishing Official Selling Prices for the Iranian crude oil grade Norooz bound for the Mediterranean and Asia, as issued by state-owned National Iranian Oil Company on a monthly basis, with effect from August 1, 2016.

NIOC stopped providing OSP differentials for Norooz with effect from May 2016, which were the last differentials and associated flat prices published and databased by Platts. The OSP was halted after the crude stream was blended with Soroosh.

The OSPs for Norooz have been published on Platts Global Alert (PGA) Page 1058 under code AAWCD00 and AAVNG00, and on Page 1057 under code AAWCC00 and AAVXA00.
