The Gulf Coast: The World’s Factory Floor for Refined Products
Platts presents a free on-demand webinar discusses the role the Gulf Coast of the United States plays in supplying refine petroleum products to the world.
The U.S. Gulf Coast has become the world’s factory floor for refined products. The region has many of the most complex refineries in the world, Platt’s says on its website. They are able to feed off cheap crude from the shale revolution. And they can spit out massive amounts of clean products onto an immense system of pipelines and ports. The result is quick product movement to far-flung parts of the world at competitive costs.
The webinar covers:
- ULSD is king of the barrel in the US
- U.S. becoming net exporter of gasoline
- LPG, naphtha and more heading offshore
- Domestic demand, too, as U.S. product pipelines max out
