SINGAPORE: Qatar has set the July retroactive official selling price (OSP) for its Marine crude at $73.55 per barrel, down from $74.10 a barrel for the previous month, a document issued by the company and reviewed by Reuters showed on Monday.
That sets the OSP differential for Qatar Marine at 43 cents a barrel above Dubai quotes, 8 cents lower than a month ago.
Qatar also set its July Qatar Land crude OSP at $75.25 a barrel, down from $76.15 for the previous month.
The price cut was lower than traders’ expectations, an industry source said.
“The market traded in teens discount, so it was a little less than expected,” the source added.
Qatar Marine cargoes for loading in September last traded at a discount of about 10 to 15 cents a barrel to its official selling price, traders have said.
