Crude oil is also processed at refineies so that instead of crude, the products ate sold either on a term or spot basis. A \"term sale\" is made under a contract between a buyer and a seller. The contractis usually for a period of one year. Under the terms of the contract, the volumes of crude or products involved in the tansaction are stipulated so that the buyer can be assured of his supply of oil. Generally, \"spot sales\" refer to one-off transactions, usually in tanker loads or less. Spot sales are made on a cargo by cargo basis. The terms andthe pice are fixed, valid only for a particular cargo. A third meth od in PETRON AS'crude oil disposal programme is through processing arrangements.
