hello there,

i'm a graduation student and currently doing a project about the price of petroleum, what affect it (2018-2022) and geopolitics.

my project is going to analise the price of petroleum from 2018 to 2022. it look like a good 4 years to understand how the price is affected during turbulent times, from a market standpoint and a geopolitical standpoint. 2018 the price was kind of "normal", then the pandemic comes and with it recession, the price goes below zero, that is some interesting fact to analise, and then the russia ukrain war which is also interesting to understand and to talk about.
the project will be mostly bibliographic, so i need as much as good material as i can get, papers, data, etc... (i understand that this is a place that many know about the subject so fell free to talk about, if you want to)

any help will be much appreciated. thanks in advance

Help me understand this folks. If I’m wrong, please correct me. I spent 8 years working at an oil refinery in the blending department so I’d like to think I have a good idea on California fuel specs. If it’s labeled diesel #2, than it’s at least 95% petroleum based diesel with maybe up to 5% biodiesel blended in. If it’s labeled B20, that’s a 20% biodiesel blend. If it’s R95 (common at the 76 stations here), that’s a renewable based/biomass fuel. That is NOT “biodiesel”. Biodiesel gels up in cold temp much sooner than petrol based diesel, R95 does not. R95 is chemically the same as petrol based diesel, biodiesel is not.

So how do these labels make sense? Am I buying D2? R95? Or B20+? I’ve recently seen them at all the Chevron stations around, but no where else. My refinery made pure diesel #2, so this is throwing me off. My truck can take B20 but I’d rather not run it. The stickers seem to be a gas stations “we’ll buy whatever and mix it all up” sign.

Hello Everyone. I just recently partnered up with sellers agents of refineries and oil/gas fields. We supply crude oil, jet fuel, D2, D6 virgin, etc at very competitive and almost wholesale like prices. I got in so I could help many countries and companies around the world fill in the gaps that Russia has created in the oil/gas market. I have had trouble finding buyers tho. I’ve been utilizing linkedin but finding that it’s not the most reliable source. Do any of you have recommendations of the best ways to find buyers?

Dow stock dives after KeyBanc says ‘petrochemical recession is upon us’

Shares of Dow Inc. dropped Monday, after KeyBanc Capital analyst Aleksey Yefremov turned bearish on the chemicals and specialty materials company, citing concerns that the “meaningful” exposure to commodities and Europe skews the risk-versus-reward profile to the downside.

Dow’s stock fell as much as 3.5% intraday, before paring losses to close down 1.3% at $52.87.
