Rafinăriile din Occident vizează profituri-record, datorită deficitului. E criza ce aduce prosperitate: • Newsweek România

Western refineries are poised for record profits due to a severe diesel shortage, transforming a previously unprofitable sector into a lucrative one. As global fuel prices rise, these companies are experiencing unprecedented refining margins, doubling in just a few months. Major oil players like Shell and BP are capitalizing on their operational flexibility to focus on diesel production, the most in-demand and expensive fuel. Despite fluctuating crude oil prices, supply chain blockages keep diesel prices high, benefiting refineries while consumers face record costs at the pump. Current refining capacity helps maintain market stocks, but at crisis-level prices, leading to historic revenues for oil processors.
