OPEC switches to Argus as energy price data provider

OPEC switched to Argus as its energy price data provider on 1 January 2016. It will use Argus prices as the external, independent price reference for evaluation, analysis and reporting. The OPEC reference basket price, which values crude produced by member countries, will be based on Argus assessments. The 13 members of OPEC – Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Venezuela – account for 40% of world oil production. The International Energy Agency  (IEA) switched to Argus price data in 2012. Governments changing to Argus prices include Chile in 2014 and Ecuador, Colombia and Portugal in 2015.
