            Algerian Crude


            Algeria's  national  oil  and  gas  company,  Sonatrach,  dominates  the  country's  hydrocarbon  sector,
            owning  roughly  80  percent  of  all  hydrocarbon  production.  By  law,  Sonatrach  is  given  majority
            ownership of oil and gas projects in Algeria.


            Algeria had 12.2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, as of January 1, 2013. All the proven oil reserves
            are held onshore, since there has been limited offshore exploration. The country produced 1.87 million
            bbl/d of total petroleum liquids in 2012 which includes crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids, and
            refinery processing gain. The three largest oil fields, Hassi Messaoud, Ourhoud, and Hassi Berkine,
            contribute to about half of total crude oil production, which averaged 1.25 million bbl/d in 2012.


            The clear majority of Algerian crude oil exports, roughly 85 percent, are sent to Europe and North
            America. The United States is the single largest destination; however, U.S. imports of Algerian crude
            oil have substantially declined over the last five years.


            Russian Export Blend Crude Oil (REBCO)


            Russia is the world's second largest producer of crude oil and also one of the world's top oil exporters.
            Russian export blend crude oil (REBCO) is medium gravity sour crude that accounts for exports of
            approximately 4 million barrels per day into the Atlantic Basin or to other nearby refining markets.


            The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., the world’s largest energy marketplace, has developed a
            proposed REBCO futures contract in collaboration with Expertica Ltd.  The expected benefits of a
            REBCO futures contract are continuous price discovery, market transparency, and financial protection
            against the risk of counterparty default. The contract will trade in lots of 1,000 barrels and will provide
            for physical delivery at the Baltic


            Sea port of Primorsk which operates year-round. The contract will also provide a dependable pricing
            basis for crude shipped via pipeline or from other ports of export. The contract will trade electronically
            on  the  CME  Globex  electronic  trading  system,  the  electronic  trading  platform  for  the  New  York
            Mercantile Exchange.


            Saudi Light Crude Oil (SLCO)


            Saudi Arabia contains 261.9 billion barrels of proven oil reserves (including 2.5 billion barrels in the
            Saudi-Kuwaiti  Divided,  aka  "Neutral"  Zone),  around  one-fourth  of  proven,  conventional  world  oil
            reserves. Around two-thirds of Saudi reserves are considered "light" or "extra light" grades of oil, with
            the rest either "medium" or "heavy."
