The OPIS International Feedstocks Intelligence Report is an essential resource for refiners pricing feedstocks for their facilities in the western hemisphere or selling excess product back into the market. OPIS feedstock prices also form a cost basis for traders buying and selling to refiners. This report provides daily pricing for vacuum gasoil, naphtha, and light cycle oil. It allows you to monitor naphtha streams coming online from new condensate splitters capitalizing on U.S. shale developments and track overall structural shifts in spot feedstock supply and demand, fluctuating intra-regional demand, as well as supply/demand surges from planned and unplanned refinery unit shutdowns. Daily assessments of U.S. Gulf Coast and U.S. West Coast VGO help you identify arbitrage opportunities between refining regions. Benchmark pricing for naphtha, light cycle oil, and straight run residual fuel help you buy and sell confidently. The report includes a daily roundup of tankers bringing VGO to the United States, wrap-ups of buy and sell tenders issued by national oil companies in Latin America, and arbitrage analysis to follow trans-Atlantic spreads for VGO produced in Europe and the trans-Pacific flow for naphtha produced in the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asia. Market intelligence provided by OPIS editors in London and Singapore identifies naphtha arbitrage opportunities and highlights blending economics.
