New York City, New York -- (May 31, 2013)
The U.S. oil & gas refining and marketing industry faced significant margin pressure in recent years. However, the industry is now starting to benefit from the shale revolution in the U.S. The shale boom in the U.S. has led to record low natural gas prices. Meanwhile, oil production in the U.S. has also been rising due to the shale revolution. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the U.S. is expected to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest producer of oil in the next few years. The trend is likely to benefit the refining and marketing industry. On Thursday, May 30, 2013, shares in refining and marketing companies ended on a mixed note even as the broad market moved higher.
