SUGAR LAND--May 10, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The COVID-19 pandemic sent refiners throughout the world into a tailspin as demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel plummeted. As businesses were starting to recover, along came Winter Storm Uri in the U.S., causing shutdowns of many facilities along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast, where the majority of U.S. refining activity occurs. In an upcoming TEST NEWS ARTICLE on Wednesday, May 12, Chris Paschall, Industrial Info's vice president of research for the Petroleum Refining Industry, and Shaheen Chohan, vice president of Global Analytics, will be discussing the market trends and drivers affecting the industry. This complimentary webinar will be held at 10 a.m. CDT (11 a.m. EDT) and will be repeated later for European and Asia-Pacific audiences.ddcsc
