Intelligence edge for refining markets

Comprehensive and timely refining market intelligence, data and analytics on the  global refining complex, its operations,  and margins

Energy Aspects’ Refining service delivers timely, precise insight into the global refining landscape, with comprehensive coverage of refining assets, operations and economics. Our coverage spans refinery economics across all major hubs, configurations and operating modes, on both a historical and forward-looking basis. 

We also analyse the market impact of maintenance, unplanned outages, production losses and yield shifts, helping clients anticipate changes in product balances and navigate broader market dynamics with confidence.

Refining Analytics covers everything from unit level configuration for all assets to refinery operations and economics to provide the complete picture. Get direct access to the proprietary data that drives our refining research, with up-to-date information on capacities, utilisation, maintenance, and operational trends. 

Our weekly margins updates, insights and market alerts help you stay ahead of fast-moving developments affecting refinery performance, from crude sourcing constraints and feedstock shifts to run cuts, product imbalances and changing trade flows. With clear regional analysis across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia, our coverage highlights where margins are strengthening, where operational continuity is under pressure, and how refiners are responding to disruptions in real time.

This gives you more than a market summary. It gives you a forward-looking view of the risks and opportunities shaping global refining and oil markets, helping you make better-informed trading, investment and risk decisions.
