Industry Metrics
Refinery margins weakened in the US due to lower winter demand.
Use discrete event simulation as decision support for storage and shipping—Part 2
Over the past decades, one engineering firm has been using discrete event simulation (DES) to study shipping and storage as an integral part of project execution throughout all phases of a process facility’s design, construction and operations.
Industry Metrics
US product markets weakened despite unseasonably strong gasoline demand, and the gasoil crack spread hit the lowest level seen in more than five years, under pressure from increasing supplies amid thin demand due to warmer winter weather.
Fueling Alberta oil sands fleets with natural gas
Natural gas for diesel replacement is an excellent opportunity for mineable oil sands operations to realize considerable fuel savings.

Business Trends: Special report--Global LNG overview
Liquified natural gas is forecast to become one of the most valuable commodities in the world.
Industry Metrics
Asian margins showed a strong recovery due to higher winter heating fuel demand, supporting middle distillate crack spreads.
HP Industry Metrics
Global refinery margins fell due to the expectations of a mild winter and an oversupply environment.
HP Industry Metrics
A sharp drop in the gasoline crack spread following the end of the US driving season and increasing inventories caused refinery margins to fall.
HP Industry Metrics
High US refinery utilization rates have continued, encouraged by strong gasoline demand amid lower crude prices.
