Blending plays a critical role in fuel oil dynamics, and component FOB diffs help determine the economics of blending while signifying shifts in supply, demand and qualities. The diffs represent premiums or discounts for a physical cargo of the component relative to their respective pricing basis.
Sparta collects information on spot diffs for over 70 different streams used for VLSFO and HSFO blending and also projects forward diffs for the next 6 months based on the latest market conditions.
The projection models include mean reversion, sulphur/viscosity/density/metals adjustment, netback to pricing centres, GPW comparison, RFCC/FCC/coker unit margins, etc..png?width=670&height=443&name=Copy%20of%20website%20-%20image%20placeholder%20(38).png)
