The exchange thus provides an effective mechanism for price risk management. INTRDUCTIN Crude oil is a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons found in the upper layers of the earth's crust. Crude oil is often known as the mother of all commodities because of its importance in the manufacturing of a wide variety of materials. Crude oil accounts for 32.6% of the world's primary energy consumption. Crude oil is used to produce fuel for cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, and trains. It is also used for manufacturing a wide variety of other products, including asphalt for roads; lubricants for all kinds of machines; and plastics for toys, bottles, and food wraps, among others.

A) West Texas Intermediate A high-quality crude oil explored and physically traded in the U.S., West Texas Intermediate is one of the largest traded in the world. Its API gravity is between 37 API and 42 API, and has.42% sulphur content. The New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) is the primary exchange facilitating futures trade in this light sweet crude oil. B) Brent Crude il Source: BP Statistical Data *Provisional Coal 3% Natural gas 23.7% Crude oil from the North Sea, UK, Brent is a pricing benchmark for crude from Europe and Africa. With a gravity between 38 API and 39 API and.4% or less of sulphur content by weight, Brent crude oil is the second most traded variety of crude in the world. C) Middle East Crude il It is generally taken as the arithmetic average of Dubai and man crude grades. An API gravity b e t w e e n 31 API and 37 API and 2.5% or less of sulphur content by weight makes Middle East Crude il a heavy and sour crude oil. It is a variety with a very large physical market in the Gulf region. Most of the Indian refineries use crude benchmarked against Middle East Sour Crude il. TCM is a prominent futures trading platform that offers trading in this grade of crude oil.

2 GLBAL SCENARI, 214 Reserves. Total world proven oil reserves reached 17.1 billion barrels at the end of 214, sufficient to meet 52.5 years of global production. The largest addition to reserves came from Saudi Arabia, which added 1.1 billion barrels. The largest decline came from Russia, where reserves fell by 1.9 billion barrels. PEC countries continue to hold a major share of world s reserves, accounting for 71.6% of the global total. Production. Global oil production growth was more than double that of global consumption, rising by 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) or 2.3%. Production outside PEC grew by 2.1 million bpd. The US (+1.6 million bpd) recorded the largest growth in the world, becoming the first country ever to increase production by at least 1 million bpd for three consecutive years, and taking over from Saudi Arabia as the world s largest oil producer. Along with the US, production in Canada (+31, bpd) and Brazil (+23, bpd) also reached record levels in 214. PEC output was flat, and the group s share in global production fell to 41%, its lowest since 23. Declines in Libya (-49, bpd) and Angola (-9, bpd) were offset by gains in Iraq (+14, bpd), Saudi Arabia (+11, bpd) and Iran (+9, bpd). Consumption. Global oil consumption grew by.8 million bpd or.8% a little below its recent historical average and significantly weaker than the increase of 1.4 million bpd seen in 213. Countries outside the ECD once again accounted for all of the net growth in global consumption. ECD consumption declined by 1.2%, the eighth decrease in the past nine years. Chinese consumption growth was below average but still recorded the largest increment to global oil consumption (+39, bpd); Japan recorded the largest decline (-22, bpd), with Japanese oil consumption falling to its lowest level since 1971 il proved reserves % share in 214* thers 17.8% Venezuela 17.5% Libya, 2.8% Russian Federation 6.1% United Arab Emirates 5.8% Kuwait 6.% Iraq 8.8% Iran 9.3% Source: BP Statistical Data * provisional Saudi Arabia 15.7% Canada 1.2% World oil production % share in 214* World oil consumption % share in 214* MCX is st India s 1 listed exchange thers 27.4% Nigeria 2.7% Venezuela 3.3% Mexico 3.2% Kuwait 3.6% Iraq 3.8% Iran 4.% Saudi Arabia 12.9% Russian Federation 12.7% US 12.3% China 5.% Canada 5.% United Arab Emirates 4.% thers 46.1% Italy 1.3% France 1.8% Mexico 2.% US 19.9% China 12.4% Japan 4.7% India 4.3% Germany 2.6% South Korea 2.6% Canada 2.4% Source: BP Statistical Data * provisional Top 1 Exporters of crude oil, 214 (million bpd) Top 1 Importers of crude oil, 214 (million bpd) Saudi Arabia Russia UAE Iraq Nigeria Kuwait Venezuela Angola Iran Norway Source: opec.org US China India Japan South Korea Germany Spain Italy France 1.

3 PEC VERVIEW The rganization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (PEC) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq, in September 196. PEC coordinates and unifies the petroleum policies of its member countries and ensures the stabilization of oil markets to secure an efficient, economic, and regular supply of petroleum for consumers, a steady income to producers, and a fair return on capital for those investing in the petroleum industry. It is an organization of twelve developing countries. They are: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq, Venezuela, Nigeria, Angola, Libya, Algeria, Qatar, and Ecuador. PEC accounts for about 71.6% of the world's proven oil reserves. As of 214, PEC accounted for approximately 41% of the global oil production. utput from PEC in September 215 declined to million bpd from in Aug. 215 according to Bloomberg survey of oil companies, producers and analysts. Saudi Arabia, PEC's top producer, saw the biggest decline, reducing output by 2, bpd to 1.3 million bpd. Iran's and Iraq's production fell by 1, bpd to 2.8 million bpd and 85, bpd to million bpd respectively. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia remains the top PEC producer, providing nearly one-third of the PEC supply. The other members that follow are Iraq (13.1%), Kuwait (9.2%), the UAE (9%), Iran (8.7%), and Venezuela (7.8%).

There was increase of.57% in the estimated reserve of crude oil for the country as a whole by March, 214 as compared to the position a year ago. Geographical distribution of Crude oil indicates that the maximum reserves are in the Western ffshore (42.91%) followed by Assam (22.69%). Production of crude petroleum increased from MMT during 25-6 to MMT during , and the net import increased from MMT to MMT during same period. As on April 214, there is no change in refining capacity in the country (215 MMTPA) over the period of one year. Iran 8.7 Algeria 3.4 Qatar 2. Libya 1.1 UAE 9.
