Benchmark

It is possible to compare the cost of each blend to a Benchmark to allow the price differential for each blend to be compared. When using Incremental Blend mode it is only possible to set the Benchmark to Base Blend. The cost of each blend is compared to the cost of the Base Blend. When using Base Load mode it is also possible to compare to a Test Crude. Select the preferred option from the Benchmark dropdown menu. When you select Test crude, a new Benchmark column with radio buttons appears in the Test Crudes table. Select the radio button next to the Test Crude to use as the Benchmark; all other blends are compared to the price of this Base Blend + Test Crude.

Benchmark pricing only returns results when crude pricing is configured.
