    Sample Questions & Answers

    How much business has the company lost due to retailers buying directly from manufacturers?

        Competitive Landscape Brief

        Demand is driven by US consumption of gas and diesel fuel. The profitability of refineries depends on efficient operations and the best mixture of products. Although there are significant economies of scale in refinery operations, a small refinery can compete effectively with large ones if it's located in a favorable market area, or if it produces specialty products that are in high demand. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $8 million. Imports of refined petroleum products account for about 12 percent of the US market. Major sources of refined products are Canada, Russia, UK, and Mexico. Major export markets for US refined petroleum products include Mexico, Canada, the Netherlands, Singapore, and Brazil. Exports account for about 12 percent of US refined petroleum production. About half of crude oil processed by US refiners comes from foreign sources. Top foreign suppliers of crude oil processed by US refiners are Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Nigeria, and Venezuela.
