The Officials: The Producer Bites Back

19 June 2025: 09:30 BST

ADNOC faced a horrible May. Prices collapsed so badly that Murban crashed again below the price of crude oil that was believed to be inferior, even by itself, such as Upper Zakum. Not only Murban underperformed on a relative basis, but the flat price also plunged in IFAD, the exchange generating the daily settlements the National Oil Company uses to set its official selling prices. In early June, after some hand wringing, the NOC set the price for its benchmark and flagship Murban crude oil at $63.62/bbl, down a whopping $4.11/bbl from the previous month when Murban was already looking infirm at $67.73/bbl.
