Benchmark
refinery performance
PRISM leverages a vast array of historical data to compare refinery competitive performance.
Value
refinery feedstocks
Employ PRISM’s individual refinery models to understand the value and processing limits of various grades of crude oil at a specific refinery.
Understand
refinery outages
Use PRISM to estimate the impact of process unit shutdowns on refinery economics, crude supply, and product markets by evaluating how unit outages impact refinery yields and throughput.
PRISM IN ACTION
Q2 2022: U.S. Refining Margins Surge to All-Time Highs: Baker & O’Brien, Inc.’s 2022 Q2 PRISM™ update shows that refinery margins surged to all-time highs during the second quarter of 2022. Our Special Topic reviews the linkage between natural gas prices, refinery operating expenses, and margins. We discuss how U.S. refiners are benefiting from a substantially enhanced competitive advantage as a result of much higher natural gas prices in Europe and Asia.
