Junte-se a Camila Dias, chefe de redação da Argus no Brasil, e Flávia Pierry, Editora de Gás Natural e Energia, que conversam sobre o que a ANP planeja fazer para tentar equalizar o assunto, aumentando a oferta de gás aos consumidores sem comprometer os compromissos das petroleiras.

Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
As crudes from every region compete for market share in Asia-Pacific, refiners are gaining influence over the pricing mechanisms they prefer. Price discovery increasingly takes place at the delivery point, and while Shandong pioneered this trend, larger refiners elsewhere in China, India, South Korea and Southeast Asia aim to align the pricing of Atlantic basin imports with Middle Eastern supplies.
In this episode of The Crude Report, Argus vice presidents Alejandro Barbajosa and Tom Reed discuss how these market players are focusing on the total value of cargoes, including freight costs.

Sector consolidation, 2021 hedging losses and an ongoing imperative to show financial discipline have been widely noted before. But now supply-chain bottlenecks and cost inflation are also afflicting the shale sector, just as they are the broader economy.
