Change in Hierarchy for Platts Forward Crude
Change Management Notification

 
 

Austin, TX - December 2004 - Maintenance Operation Procedure - LIM will issue a series of data hierarchy moves affecting all customers receiving data from Platts Dispatch category DR - European Derivatives, on Friday, January 24, 2005.

The basic impact is to re-arrange the Forward Crude category in the LIM hierarchy to reflect an increase in the number and depth of quotes in the Brent Dated Market for CFD's and Brent Dated/Frontline. We are separating out the CFD data from the Brent Dated Frontline and Brent Dated Swap data. This is designed to make it easier to navigate the hierarchy when looking for forward Brent Crude data.

The complete list of changes is listed in the attached spreadsheet named brent_swap_symbols.xls.

It is important to note that this will have very low impact since the LIM symbols themselves are not changed at all, merely their location in the hierarchy. Users accessing the symbols by name will not notice any change. The change will only affect reference to the series by relation path. The spreadsheet contains both the existing and the new relation paths.

If you have any questions about the changes before they are made, please contact Sandy Fielden at: sandy@lim.com.
