Platts clarifies vapor pressure specification for Platts WTI Midland

In its note (https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/080320-platts-to-implement-comprehensive-platts-wti-midland-specifications) announcing the implementation of Platts WTI Midland crude oil specifications, Platts erroneously referred to the vapor pressure specification as Reid Vapor Pressure.

The correct specification is in fact Vapor pressure: Less than 9.5 pounds per square inch at 100 F and 4:1 V/L ratio as determined by ASTM Standard D6377.
