Brent

Brent is a light sweet grade of crude oil produced in the North Sea.

Brent plays a uniquely important role in the global oil industry by acting as a benchmark crude against which most other crude grades are priced.

Brent is important as a regional benchmark for a large number of light sweet crude oils produced in the North Sea. It is also used as a global benchmark for overall global crude prices.

Brent's role as a benchmark is reinforced by its active forward and derivatives markets.
