MOSCOW: Saudi Arabia’s state oil producer Aramco and Algeria’s Sonatrach raised February official selling prices for liquefied petroleum gas by 10-34% compared to January amid rising oil prices and limited global LPG supply, traders said.

Aramco’s OSP for propane rose by $200 to $790 per tonne in February, while the OSP for butane increased by $185 to $790 per tonne.

Sonatrach’s OSP for propane rose by $160 to $720 per tonne, and the OSP for butane went up by $60 to $640 per tonne.
