Iran has made deep cuts to official selling prices for its crude in February to buyers in
the Mediterranean, and made little change for buyers in Northwest Europe, a source at Nioc said yesterday.

Iran, the world's fourth-largest exporter, cut the price of its Light crude to buyers from its oil terminal at Kharg Island by $2.20 a barrel to a discount of $5.95 a barrel to BWAVE. It cut the cost of its heavier crudes by $1.90.

For buyers from Egypt's Sidi Kerir, Iran cut the price of its Light crude by 85 cents and heavy crude by 55 cents.
