Subscriber note: Platts to change schedules for yields, netbacks data

Platts proposes to delay the publication of its daily crude Yields and Netbacks by one business day effective February 1, 2013. By deferring publication by one day, Platts will be better able to ensure that most revisions to spot price assessments are reflected in Yields and Netbacks data when it is published. At the same time, Platts also proposes to amend the days reflected in its weekly Feeder Crude Table to Monday-Friday, inclusive. Currently, the weekly table reflects a Friday-Thursday average. As a result of these two changes, Platts would move publication of the Feeder Crude Table to Tuesdays, from Fridays currently. For instance, the table published on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, would reflect February 4-8, 2013 averages. Platts publishes its daily crude Yields and Netbacks on Platts Global Alert (pages 801-803, 810, 820, 821, 831, 848, 849, 1810, 1811, 2810, 2811) and in the Crude Oil Marketwire. The weekly Feeder Crude Table is published on Platts Global Alert (804-807, 811, 822, 823, 832, 833, 843, 844, 1812, 1813, 1821, 2812, 2813) and in the Oilgram Price Report.
