CAT-16-51 Navigating the Shift in Fluid Catalytic Cracking Demand and Utilization

Description:

This presentation, Navigating the Shift in FCC Demand and Utilization, will highlight three major events that the oil industry has seen in the last three years: the unlocking of unconventional oils to refining through fracking, unrestricted oil production lowering the price of crude by 50%, and the crude export ban lifting from the U.S.. The net impact has been a re-emergence of gasoline as the premier fuel in the U.S. and other markets. This presentation will look at global market shifts, the implication for each PADD in the U.S., and maintenance activities that continue to maximize the value of the FCC operations.
