Global Petroleum Refining Database & Market Intelligence
Access Trusted Data on Global Crude Oil Refineries & Lube Oil Processing Plants
Track capital projects, maintenance turnarounds, and capacity upgrades across the global refining network. From emerging market expansions to emissions-driven retrofits, get the data you need to plan, sell, and invest with confidence.
Refiners are navigating a changing environment shaped by energy transition agendas, political and economic uncertainties, and the pressing need for infrastructure modernization. The sector faces growing urgency for technological innovation to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance, with investments focused on upgrading existing facilities to meet stricter environmental standards. Global liquid fuel demand is expected to rise, particularly in regions with population and GDP growth, driving much of the new refining capacity toward Asian markets. At the same time, regulatory pressures and investor demands are accelerating the shift toward cleaner fuels, reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and improved operational performance. In the U.S. and Europe, an aging refinery fleet is prompting increased spending on maintenance, modernization, and carbon capture initiatives. While renewable fuel investments have slowed as earlier projects progress, challenges around feedstock availability and regulatory uncertainty continue to shape future project development.

Hillary Stevenson
Vice President, Energy IntelligenceCrude Demand Is Growing, But Not Everywhere
Emerging markets are investing in new refining capacity to keep pace with population growth and rising fuel demand. In contrast, mature markets are focusing on retrofitting and maximizing the flexibility of existing assets.
Maintenance and Flexibility Are the New Competitive Edge
Refiners in saturated regions are extending asset life through major maintenance events, upgrades, and reconfiguration projects to stay competitive in an increasingly emissions-conscious world.
Emissions Pressure Is Reshaping Investment Priorities
Regulations and investor expectations are accelerating capital allocation toward efficiency projects, flare reduction, hydrogen integration, and co-processing of renewable feedstocks.
Market Volatility Is Raising the Stakes on Timing
With price swings, geopolitical instability, and regional demand shifts, the ability to anticipate and act on project opportunities has never been more critical.
