DUBAI - Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco has set its December propane price at $440 a tonne, up from $430 a tonne in November, the company said on Thursday.

The price provides a benchmark against which Middle East sales of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to Asia are priced.

Aramco has set its December butane price at $455 a tonne, up from $445 in the previous month.
