Refiners to the front: Unsung heroes revisited

OSTI ID:5069562

Crude-oil purchasing and finished-product selling can be linked to a constant volley, with two potentially deadly pricing games going on simultaneously. Nothing new to refiners, who are often viewed by those upstream and downstream of them as a necessary evil mid-point between the wellhead and the retail pump. Recent comparative stability in the margins refiners achieve on a barrel of crude oil, however, confers good things to producers and product marketers. This issue editorializes against taking refiners for granted. This issue also presents the following: (a) ED refining netback data series for the US Gulf and West Coasts Rotterdam, and Singapore as of September 22, 1989; and (b) ED fuel price/tax series for countries of the Eastern Hemisphere, September 1989 edition. 6 fig., 5 tabs.
