Does having a refinery give me an advantage in playing the premium - regular gasoline arbitrage?
How about the Export diesel to domestic diesel arb - is having an asset an advantage over just playing in financial markets?
hard to believe that iran can ramp up production without costs being much higher than 1$/bbl. maybe there is some production at low cost but these volumes are already being absorbed by India and China ( both countries had exemptions from United States to buy Iranian oil).
@Sig, The Jones Act is still in force. If you meant, the export ban was supporting Jones act volumes, I agree. But US coastal refiners will still have to use Jones Act ships for receiving US crude.
I feel the US Eastcoast refiners will struggle to source US crudes off the water as there will...
