Summary
Globally, more than 40 refineries witnessed maintenance (planned and unplanned) across 56 units in Q4 2016. Planned maintenance accounted for 60% of the maintenance in the quarter and the remaining was unplanned. Among regions, North America had the highest capacity under both planned and unplanned maintenance. Among countries, the US and Saudi Arabia had the highest capacity under planned maintenance in the quarter. Equipment issues and fire were the major factors for unplanned maintenance globally. Other factors include leakage and power outage.
Scope
- Analysis of capacity under maintenance for crude distillation, coking, fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracker, hydrotreater and reformer units
- Comparison of select refinery units under maintenance (planned, unplanned and both) by major regions in the world for Q4 2016 and Q4 2015
- Comparison of select refinery units under maintenance (planned, unplanned and both) by PADD regions in the US for both the quarters
- Comparison of select refinery units under maintenance (planned, unplanned and both) by operators for both the quarters
- Comparison of factors responsible for unplanned maintenance globally by region for Q4 2016 and Q4 2015
Reasons to buy
- Keep abreast of major refinery units (crude distillation, coking, fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracker, hydrotreater and reformer) undergoing maintenance globally
- Obtain information on region-wise maintenance globally for Q4 2016 in comparison with Q4 2015
- Identify and compare PADD regions and operators with highest maintenance in both the quarters
- Facilitate decision making on the basis of strong refinery maintenance data
- Assess your competitor’s refinery maintenance data
