The Most Likely Futures for US Refining

Presented By

Edward Arnold - Argus Media

Conference:

The future for refining conversion units has never been so cloudy. On one hand, the reintroduction of the Keystone XL pipeline and other projects are expected to bring more heavy oils from Canada into the US refining system. On the other hand, lighter feedstocks like shale or tight oils continues to put downward pressure on the light/heavy spread. MARPOL regulations will continue to drive investment and operational changes for refiners and shippers alike. Where everything shakes out only time will tell. Argus will share their insight and experience with regard to all these topics with particular focus on the impacts to Coking, Cat Cracking, and Sulfur Recovery.
