Description:

Base oil refiners have expressed concerns about their future competitive position as the marketplace evolves with the announced conventional capacity additions and the looming competitive threat of the gas-to-liquids base oil facilities. This presentation takes a look at the advantages and disadvantages of conventional solvent plants in comparison to lube hydrocracking refineries by comparing a hypothetical all hydrogen-processing base oil refinery with a hypothetical all solvent-based base oil refinery, each producing the same volume of high value products. The author will also offer some insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each type of refinery and thoughts and opinions on the future of the markets.
