PFC Energy's Market Intelligence Service (MIS) provides a unique look at the interaction between oil market fundamentals, economics and geopolitics, including OPEC strategies, to analyze all the factors determining crude oil prices and impacting global energy markets. The service combines in-depth analysis by our teams of market analysts, economists and political scientists to understand all the issues that impact prices as well as the policies of principal oil producing and consuming countries.
Our clients, which include IOCs, NOCs, Governments, oilfield service companies, traders and financial institutions, have used MIS reports and analysis to better understand the links between market developments and underlying political and economic trends, and to get a roadmap for understanding both the global issues as well as the specific issues that impact oil prices and commercial opportunities. Issues examined on the nature of price formation include the relationships between the NYMEX WTI price and underlying spot prices, as well as the relationship of WTI, Brent and other light sweet crudes with broader markets for heavy sours and even refined products.
MIS clients receive a series of weekly, monthly and quarterly analytical reports, both on markets and country developments, and have access to our oil market databases.
