Belarus’ state refiner Beleneftkhim has purchased its first batch of crude from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Aramco has increased the price for its Arab Light Crude to Northwest Europe in May by $1.10 per barrel, up from a discount of $0.80 in April to ICE Brent.

Saudi Aramco could decrease the official selling price (OSP) differentials of crude oil bound for Asia in December, according to traders.

Saudi Arabia, raised pricing for December sales of all oil grades to Asia in order to take advantage of a brief increase in demand for Middle Eastern crude.

Saudi Arabia cut pricing for March sales of its light crude grades to Asia to $1 a barrel, less than the regional benchmark.
