April 1 (Reuters) - The official selling price of a basket
of Malaysian crude oil for March-loading has been set
at $60.92 a barrel, Petronas said on Wednesday.
The March price for flagship Labuan fell $2.01 from
February. The price had reached its lowest in January since
April 2009.
The state-owned company introduced a new benchmark starting
January 2014, based on the spot differentials to dated Brent for
three grades - Labuan, Miri and Kikeh.
As a result of the change, Tapis Blend was dropped as the
key pricing reference to dated Brent due to low liquidity and
falling output.
Kimanis, a new grade that started production in the fourth
quarter of 2014, could be included in the price reference basket
in late-2015 or 2016.
Here are the OSPs for the Malaysian grades:
