(EnergyAsia, September 25, Thursday) — The 4th Asia Refining Conference’ will be held at the Marina Mandarin hotel in Singapore from October 16 to 17.
Despite record oil prices, Asia’s refining sector remains robust with capacity growth in China, India and West Asia. Global fuel demand is expected to remain buoyant and strong boosting the long-term outlook for refining margins.

Topics covered include oil refining outlook in Asia and the Middle East, re-engineering for profitability, project expansions, India’s refining capacity expansion, crude oil supply, oil price impacts, rising EPC costs, hydroprocessing of heavy feedstocks, clean gasoline and diesel cost solution, Asian petrochemicals market and demand for petroleum products in China.
