Brent crude oil - values, historical data, forecasts and news - updated on June of 2025.

In May 2025, the average price of one barrel of Brent crude oil was 64.45 U.S. dollars. This was nearly four U.S. dollars below prices the previous month and the lowest value in the past 24-month period, as demand for oil was expected to stagnate in the coming months. Brent terminology and most common uses Brent is the world's leading price benchmark for Atlantic basin crude oils. It is used to price two thirds of the internationally traded crude oil supplies and is also the most significant crude oil benchmark for Europe. Brent crude originates in the North Sea and includes oils from Brent and Forties Oil Field in the United Kingdom, and from the Oseborg and Ekofisk oil fields, both oil reserves in Norway. Other names for Brent are Brent Blend, London Brent and Brent petroleum. The name Brent comes from the Brent oil field, located north-east of the Shetland Islands, and thus part of the United Kingdom. Because the Brent oil field already passed its production peak, today the benchmark Brent includes oil from the other three major oil fields. Brent, next to West Texas Intermediate (WTI), is one of the lightest crude oils. With a low content of sulfur, it is ranged among the so-called sweet crude oils. Most of the Brent crude oil is refined into gasoline and middle distillates in Northwest Europe. Benchmark oil prices Other crucial benchmarks for crude oil prices are the already mentioned U.S.- WTI and Dubai Crude (Fateh). They are indispensable for referencing the many types and grades of oil on the global market. In the past 20 years, the annual price for one barrel of Brent crude oil saw a net increase. For example, the average price per barrel stood at 80.53 U.S. dollars in 2024.

Brent crude oil is projected to have an average annual spot price of 65.85 U.S. dollars per barrel in 2025, according to a forecast from May 2025. This would mean a decrease of nearly 15 U.S. dollars compared to the previous year, and also reflects a reduced forecast WTI crude oil price. Lower economic activity, an increase in OPEC+ production output, and uncertainty over trade tariffs all impacted price forecasting. All about Brent Also known as Brent Blend, London Brent, and Brent petroleum, Brent Crude is a crude oil benchmark named after the exploration site in the North Sea's Brent oilfield. It is a sweet light crude oil but slightly heavier than West Texas Intermediate. In this context, sweet refers to a low sulfur content and light refers to a relatively low density when compared to other crude oil benchmarks. Price development in the 2020s Oil prices are volatile, impacted by consumer demand and discoveries of new oilfields, new extraction methods such as fracking, and production caps routinely placed by OPEC on its member states. The price for Brent crude oil stood at an average of just 42 U.S. dollars in 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a sudden demand drop. Two years later, sanctions on Russian energy imports, had pushed up prices to a new decade-high, above 100 U.S. dollars per barrel.

Fuel, chemical and metal agents contend with highly volatile global commodity prices and industrial production and construction output fluctuations. The COVID-19 outbreak severely pressured global economic growth causing production levels to tumble and stymieing oil demand. Oil prices collapsed and fell into negative territory for the first time, with producers paying clients to take the surplus off their hands. Record-low oil prices had a substantial contractionary effect on revenue as most agents work off a commission basis. China's steel production was curbed by strict social distancing measures, lagging behind global steel demand, forcing the prices of some steel products to quadruple between September 2021 and September 2020. Steel prices dropped in 2022 as spiralling inflation and strict lockdowns in China ignited demand uncertainty, hitting steel-related commissions. Over the five years through 2024-25, agents' revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 9% to £74.1 billion. As crude oil is the primary input in petroleum, chemicals and fertilisers, the Russia-Ukraine conflict sparked surges in the prices of related products. In 2022, the price of Brent crude oil reached its highest level since 2014, helping drive revenue growth and profit in 2022-23. As supply concerns continue in 2024-25 for steel and crude oil, revenue is expected to grow by 21.8%. Looking forward, the transition to a net zero carbon emission economy will shift the focus of many downstream buyers away from fossil fuels and petroleum-based products and towards renewable energy sources. The Agricultural Bill passed in 2020 and detailed the phasing out of direct farmer subsidies by 2024. Subsidies will fall from £2.4 billion to £900 million over this period, with delinked payments replacing them, disincentivising crop production and fertiliser use. Green policies like banning new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030 will cut fossil-fuel-related sales and boost the sale of battery metals like lithium used in electric vehicles. Industry-wide revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 18% to reach £169.6 billion over the five years through 2029-30.
