New York (Platts)--28Jul2010/749 pm EDT/2349 GMT
Platts is planning to reset the nomenclature for several crude oil assessments
in Crude Oil Marketwire back to the original names that were in use until
April 9, 2010. 

Platts changed the nomenclature on April 12, 2010, to enhance the readability
and format of its publications including Crude Oil Marketwire PDF and telex. 

However, our subscribers have notified us of their preference to continue
using the original nomenclature.

is:
