Certifications & Compliance
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude Oil remains the primary pricing benchmark for North American crude production and a globally referenced marker for light sweet crude grades. XRT Group sources WTI directly from Midland Basin and Permian production regions, bypassing traditional broker intermediaries through our pre-vetted supplier network.
Grade & Quality
XRT-sourced WTI typically presents at 39.5–40.5° API gravity with sulfur content below 0.25% — meeting refinery specifications for both FCC and hydrocracking configurations. Each parcel undergoes mandatory SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection at load port, with quantity and quality certificates issued under ASTM D287 and D4052 methodology.

Pricing is negotiated against the prevailing NYMEX WTI front-month contract. XRT's current indicative premium is +$0.85/BBL over benchmark, subject to volume, INCOTERMS, and delivery window. Forward price locks are available through our Structured Trade Finance desk under UCP 600 LC structures.
