RE: Price of Brent Crude15 Dec 2025 10:42
"RKH and SL seems to be pegged to the price of Brent Crude (BC), which I assume is because BC oil and its production environment is near enough to SL production conditions and oil quality to use as the yardstick until SL is in production?"
No , to enable trading etc there are a few benchmark crudes - Brent is/was the most important internationally. Prices are set relative to Brent depending on quality, demand and ease of processing - thus a waxy crude such as SeaLion will be priced at "brent less $x". It has nothing to with location, production environment or even politics, and everything to do with trading .
