Yup it's futures for pretty much everything oil based I believe.

If you want to trade spot oil - then maybe a trip to your local esso?

STIFX allows trading in SPOT Brent Crude oil.
Check with them.

This is what they have emailed me regarding SPOT Crude Oil

Basis : Front month ICE Brent crude Oil

Tick Size : $0.01
Min Tick Value : $2.50
Rollover Date : Working day prior to the settlement of ICE front month futures contract
Rollover Value : Settlement on the above date of the differential (spread) of the first two ICE months

Eg Customer Long 1,000 bbls $60.00
Front Month Settlement $62.00
Second Month Settlement $63.00

Are you sure it is spot?

Most 'front months' are forward contracts.
