What is Oman Crude?
Oman crude is a medium sour oil produced by the Sultanate of Oman from fields operated mostly by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). It is typically loaded at Mina al-Fahal terminal near Muscat and exported primarily to refiners in China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Thailand. Unlike most Middle East grades that use OSP formulas, Oman is freely traded on the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) as the DME Oman futures contract. This transparent exchange mechanism makes the Oman price a key building block of Asian crude pricing. Together with Dubai, Oman forms the “Dubai/Oman average” used by Saudi Aramco and other Gulf NOCs to set their monthly OSPs for Asia.
오만 원유란?
오만유는 오만에서 생산되는 중질 고유황 원유로, 두바이유와 함께 아시아 수출용 원유 가격의 기준(벤치마크) 역할을 합니다. 오만은 OPEC 회원국은 아니지만 OPEC+ 감산에 협력하는 주요 산유국이며, 두바이 상품거래소(DME)에서 DME 오만 선물이 상장·거래돼 아시아 원유 가격 발견의 중요한 축을 담당합니다. 한국 정유사도 수입 원유 가격 산정 시 Dubai/Oman 평균을 기본 지표로 활용합니다.
Oman & Dubai — Paired Benchmarks
- Dubai/Oman average is the base price in most long-term Asian crude supply contracts. Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, and KPC set monthly Asia OSPs as a premium or discount to it.
- DME Oman futures provide transparent exchange-traded price discovery where Dubai relies on a Platts Market-on-Close window assessment.
- Physical delivery through the DME means the Oman contract is backed by actual barrels, giving it credibility as a hedging instrument for Asian refiners.
- Middle East risk premium — Any Hormuz Strait threat, Houthi Red Sea attack, or Iran sanctions news typically moves Oman and Dubai together.
