About Us
Argus crude services cover global and local markets, offering exclusive prices and insight. Our product range includes daily prices, fundamental data, logistical updates, events and consulting services.
Navigating energy transition
Energy transition offers tough challenges and huge opportunities. Far from affecting only the power sector, all major industries are looking to transform how they produce, store, transport and consume energy. The need for authoritative information on fuels, industrial heat, power and chemical raw materials has never been greater.
Our exclusive commodity price data
Argus prices are used as trusted reference points that bring transparency to physical supply and derivative contracts, for mark-to-market purposes, as an indication of value for tax assessment, for risk management and strategic analysis and planning. In every market we cover, from crude to fertilizers, our work is used to broaden market intelligence and is accepted as an accurate and reliable indicator of the real value of a commodity. Let our pricing knowledge inform your business planning and growth.
