Webinar: Refining Under Strain - Supply Disruptions & Rising Oil Market Risk

Date: Thursday 21st May
Time: 2pm BST / 8am CDT / 5pm GST

Global refining and products markets are entering a period of renewed volatility, driven by crude disruptions, refining capacity outages, and tightening product balances.

This webinar examines how refining outages and trade dislocations are amplifying price shocks - led by middle distillates - while exposing new vulnerabilities across aviation, diesel, and petrochemical value chains. We will explore what these shifts mean for supply security, margins and feedstock strategy in the months ahead.

Join this webinar to hear discussion of the following topics:

  • The refining system under stress:
    • Capacity losses across Asia and the Mideast Gulf
    • Refining outages and operational constraints
  • Middle distillates market leading the global price shock:
    • The jet fuel supply crisis and aviation sector vulnerability
    • Demand and macro implications of a tightening diesel market
  • Petrochemicals at a crossroads:
    • Navigating naphtha shortages and feedstock risk
    • Impacts on propane–naphtha substitution
  • Exclusive view of our latest service Argus Refined Products Outlook
  • Plus a live Q&A session to put forward your own questions
