WHAT IS BRENT CRUDE OIL?

Brent Crude Oil is one of the major classifications of oil and is used as a benchmark price for oil in general. Brent Crude Oil price is used to price two-thirds of globally traded oil supplies. Brent Crude is extracted from the Brent oil platform in the North Sea and has consistent demand due to the ease of its refinement into other oil-derivative products. It stands as the benchmark when compared to other oil blends thanks to its ease of transport, as it doesn’t require a pipeline system. Instead, supply is distributed via oil tankers.
