In this year’s Forum, CERA delivers our first downstream index and leverages our scenario work to present outlooks for future performance. This examination offers members an overview of the cost movements in the downstream industry and a deeper understanding of the performance of the underlying marketplaces. Projections of both new builds and expansions enable companies to anticipate the consequences of high activity on their individual projects. This forum builds rigorous models of the future to aid members in preparing for and responding to changes in the marketplaces serving the refining sector.

CERA insights presented at this Roundtable enable clients to comprehend the drivers behind the delicate balance between the downstream equipment and services markets. Leveraging rigorous demand models against detailed knowledge of the available supply, CERA demonstrates how the potential cost increases or decreases in each market can be determined.
