In simple terms, crude oil is an unprocessed petroleum product which occurs naturally. Made of hydrocarbons, it is formed over millions of years from remains of dead organisms or organic materials (like plants and marine life). Its name 'crude oil' comes from the fact that it is unrefined in nature and needs to be refined into various fuels (such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) and other petrochemical products. All these valuable by-products of crude oil are essential for multiple sectors, including transportation, electricity generation, and heating. This non-renewable, natural resource is extracted from the depths of the earth in its raw, liquid form. It is called black gold because of its dark color and high value as a global commodity. In fact, many economists think that crude oil is the single most important commodity in the world as it is the primary source of energy production in the current scenario. No wonder why crude oil buyers are actively seeking reliable suppliers who can fulfill this rising demand for petroleum-based products.
The crude oil market is driven by a number of factors. The major ones include global economic growth, transportation needs, population increase, and seasonal changes. Countries with strong economies have higher industrial activities, which increases the consumption of oil-based products (like gasoline and diesel). On the other hand, economic downturns can reduce oil demand remarkably as we saw during the 2008 financial crisis. The transportation sector heavily relies on petroleum products, and any shift in transportation patterns or technologies can influence oil demand. Seasons changes are also responsible as colder winters increase the demand for heating oil and other related products.
In addition, there are some factors that impact crude oil prices. These include:
As a supplier or exporter, you should stay up-to-date with these factors to understand real-time crude oil price fluctuations.
The list of crude oil buyers worldwide typically includes government-run energy corporations, international oil refiners and petrochemical companies, private energy traders, licensed importers, as well as distributors in oil-deficient countries. Once you identify your buyer, you must cater to their demand based on the specific type or grade of crude oil they require. There are over 100 different types of crude oils that are traded globally. Here are the most common ones.
Most Common Crude Oil Types:
Talking about grades, crude oil is further classified on the basis of specific gravity or density (how dense the oil is in relation to water) as well as sulfur content.
Crude Oil Grades & Classification:
You should also know that the demand for light, sweet crude oils (like WTI and Brent) is usually higher. This is due to the fact that they are more suitable for producing gasoline and other refined products. However, regions with large refining capacities may demand heavier, sour crudes. Also, crude oil is not traded in isolation as many buyers also seek other relevant petroleum, oil & related products, such as:
Thus, there is a great opportunity for exporters who offer bundled or related commodities, as this can attract more buyers, especially in cross-border trade.
