WTI

West Texas Intermediate — the US crude oil benchmark.

WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is the US crude benchmark, delivered physically at Cushing, Oklahoma. Lighter and sweeter than Brent.

After the 2015 US crude-export-ban lift, WTI became increasingly relevant to global flows — Midland-spec WTI is now a Brent-basket candidate.

How do I check a counterparty that uses WTI in a deal?

These terms show up in real deal pitches, some legitimate, some not. The free check screens the counterparty behind the pitch against OilFlow's first-party-investigated fraud-cluster corpus in seconds. It queries no sanctions list.

Paste the company or person name from the pitch. Free, no signup. Vessels are not screened here.
