South America Refining Industry Prospects Reviewed in In-demand GlobalData Research Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) September 22, 2014 -- Though Latin America’s oil production has exhibited steady growth in the recent past, the refineries in the region have not been able to keep up with the soaring demand, especially in the transport industry. Therefore, the increase in the imports of petroleum products has become one of the region’s most burning energy concerns to date. Among the reasons for the relative decrease in refining capacity in the region one can name insufficient funding, along with tightening regulations, meaning that pre-existing refineries are unable to produce the quality of diesel or gasoline complying with national standards. Building more complex and sophisticated refineries which are able to produce different fuel grades requires heavy investment. Additionally, the refining sector in many South American nations remains strictly controlled by the State, which limits the potential for private investment. Brazil’s capacity – estimated at slightly over 2 million bpd – has been outstripped by its demand for diesel and gasoline, leading the state-controlled oil company Petrobras to import both fuels at high prices.
Petroleos de Venezuela S.A., Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., and Ecopetrol S.A. are amid the most prominent players in the regional refining market.
