Argus Americas Petroleum Coke Summit

Increasing domestic shale production is having a radical effect on crude slates available to US refiners, even as more coker projects are coming online.  With less heavy crude coming from Latin America, refiners are turning to Canada for supply, though transportation capacity is limited, as Canadian crude fights light-sweet Bakken crude for pipeline space. 

What will this mean for petroleum coke production, quality and pricing?  And how will this affect related industries like cement and power generation who depend on petroleum coke as a core fuel? 

Join Argus and a panel of high-level industry experts as we discuss these and other critical market issues, including:

• The role of Canadian crude: Will heavy crude break through bottlenecks
• Lighter, sweeter shale crude’s impact on US coke supply
• US crude transportation landscape (pipeline, rail, barge) and the impact on coke
• Coker expansions, capacity and economics
• Venezuela post-Chavez:  What will this mean for coke exports?
• Latin America’s emerging coke giant, Brazil
• Anode-grade markets and new pricing tools
• Demand from the Asian-Pacifc and Middle Eastern markets ...and more!
