November 11, 2024
Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is proposing to launch daily linear alpha olefins assessments for the US, namely butene-1, hexene-1 and octene-1, effective Dec. 23.
The proposed assessments will complement Platts existing coverage of ethylene and polyethylene markets.
The assessments would be published on an outright basis and would consider market information reported to Platts and published as heards throughout the day, including firm bids and offers, trades and indicative values, as well as any other data deemed relevant to the assessment process.
Details of the proposed assessments are as follows:
Assessment | Butene-1 | Hexene-1 | Octene-1 |
Basis and Location | FOB USGC | FOB USGC | FOB USGC |
Cargo size | Min 3,000 mt | Min 3,000 mt | Min 3,000 mt |
Laycan | 3-30 days forward | 3-30 days forward | 3-30 days forward |
UoM | Cents/lb | Cents/lb | Cents/lb |
Specifications |
Liquified Gas Min 99% purity |
Liquid Min 99% purity |
Liquid Min 99% purity |
Transportation | Barges | Barges | Barges |
Pricing information for domestic material may be normalized accordingly.
The new assessments, to be published in cents/lb, will take into consideration price information gathered up to the close of the assessment process daily at 4:00 pm Houston time. The assessments would be published in Olefinscan, in Platts database and on Platts Connect.
