Does anyone know of a page that shows not just the headline oil price (brent crude, WTI) but also prices of different 'mixes' - if that's what they're called?

Charts would be even better.

Many thanks.

EDITED: I updated the title of this thead to be more meaningful - BP

Is what you want the price of heavy, sour crude oil as a chart? I've often wondered about that.

This isn't quite that but it's a start:

Some terminology worth studying
"crude spreads" - the difference in price between good and bad crude.
MAYA - Mexican heavy, sour
MARS - sour from Deepwater

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')hell Oil Company has made several discoveries in the Mississippi Canyon area of the
deepwater Gulf. Shell’s production from Ursa, Mensa, and Mars platforms commingles with
production from the Amberjack pipeline volumes to make up the MARS Blend sour crude oil
(“sour” referring to sulfur content).

Thanks. That's exactly the sort of stuff I was after. Very interesting.

The above implies that the various grades will peak at slightly different times, for example sweet peaking earlier than sour.

Does that fact partly explain why the ecomomy is still growing at a healthy rate of knotts even though we are supposedly at the peak of oil output? The world economy has barely even blinked - it has taken the high headline price in its stride. Maybe thats partly because the headline price is misleading to the tune of up to $15 per barrel. $45 isn't nearly as much of a problem as $60.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Harry Chernoff', 'A')lthough there is considerable disagreement within the industry over the date Hubbert’s Peak will be reached, there is no disagreement that the worldwide peak in production for the lightest, sweetest grades has long passed.
