Independent reporting for the oil trade
The Crude Register is an independent trade publication covering crude oil and refined products markets, freight, refining and the policy that moves them.
The Crude Register covers the physical and paper markets for crude oil and refined products: the differentials, the freight, the refining economics and the regulation that determines where a barrel can legally go. We write for traders, charterers, refiners, terminal operators, financiers and the people who regulate them.
What we publish
Daily market reporting, weekly analysis, interviews with people who move cargoes, and dedicated coverage hubs for the companies we follow closely. Every story carries a content label — original reporting, aggregated coverage, press release, contributed or sponsored — so you always know what you are reading.
How we work
Reporting is sourced from named market participants, official filings, exchange and regulator data, and reputable trade sources. Where a story is built on another publication's work, we say so and link to it in an attribution footnote. We do not publish anonymous allegations about the companies we cover.
Independence
Commercial relationships never determine coverage. Sponsored material is labelled as such, is never written by the newsroom, and never appears as news.
