WTI Crude Oil
Light, sweet U.S. benchmark crude grade used as a primary refinery feedstock.
Technical Overview
West Texas Intermediate is a light, low-sulfur crude oil and one of the two principal pricing benchmarks in global oil markets, with NYMEX futures referenced at Cushing, Oklahoma.
Its light gravity and low sulfur content make it well suited to producing gasoline, diesel and jet fuel with relatively simple refinery configurations.
