The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and nine of the world's largest energy traders have partnered with the Intercontinental Exchange to set up the world's first Murban crude oil futures contracts.
Murban is a light crude grade, a substantial proportion of which is exported from Fujairah via the Gulf of Oman, with Abu Dhabi's overall production currently standing at around 3 million barrels a day.
"The futurization of Murban cargoes will act as a boon for buyers because it will allow them to know what they are paying in advance," Stephen Brennock, oil analyst at PVM Oil Associates, told CNBC on Monday. However, Brennock told CNBC that in terms of becoming a global crude marker, the Murban futures contract faces an "uphill struggle."
