Market volatility requires corporate agility
Last year’s economic crisis continues to significantly impact refineries. Refineries that have the flexibility to move or shift capacity from one facility to another may emerge in the best shape to tackle the future.
U.S. refineries are operating just above 82 percent of full capacity, while margins continue to remain razor thin. At this point, the future is hazy at best. Some predict the normal increased demand in the summer months, while others foresee a continued lack of demand. Who knows what direction the future holds.
One thing is certain: To ensure that your assets have the ability to support either direction, they must be as efficient and reliable as possible:
- Uptime must be as high as possible.
- Equipment and process reliability must be as high as possible on a sustainable basis.
- Refined products must be within specification to avoid waste.
