The Greek Energy Forum is pleased to be running a one off closed doors industry workshop on the key fundamental elements of gasoline blending economics.

Blending is considered by many as an art while others treat it like a science. The one certainty is that it impacts many oil products around the barrel as traders attempt to capture value by meeting finished gasoline specs and serve demand. Different market conditions and product spreads are at play in every decision of blending as the various players attempt to maximise their margins.

In this workshop, we will be bringing a number of industry actors together representing various parts of the value chain in order to discuss and understand the intricacies of blending economics.

At the end of the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss ongoing market developments and future trends which might be affecting decisions in the blending pool.
