Looking Forward: Expanding and Enhancing Our Services

Our commitment to innovation doesn’t stop with these recent launches. We’re working on significant upgrades to our API, which will soon include detailed quality information on the crude grades we track such as API, sulfur, and TAN (Total Acid Number). Additionally, we plan to expand our geographic coverage, adding new crude-exporting countries to our monitoring network.
