LONDON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Crude oil trader Julien Roper
left Switzerland-based commodities trader Mercuria on Thursday,
five trading sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. 
    Roper was part of the Mediterranean crude trading desk,
trading cargoes like the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) Blend
crude grade produced by Kazakhstan.
    It was not immediately clear why he left the company, but a
person familiar with the matter said it was a mutual decision
that was reached in a "very amicable" manner.      
    Roper joined Mercuria in October 2023, according to his
LinkedIn profile, after spending more than nine years as a fuel
oil and then crude oil trader with energy major Shell.
