OIL PRODUCTS
Marathon Petroleum, the second largest US crude refiner by market value and the largest by processing capacity, expects 2025 to be a record year for refined product demand, its CEO said during its Q4 earnings call.
- “In our system, gasoline year-over-year has been fairly steady, diesel up slightly” and “we’ve actually seen jet demand growth,” CEO Maryann Mannen said.
- Marathon sees significant demand for exports to Laram and Europe, particularly for gasoline.
- The company expects margins in H2 to widen as announced refinery closures offset recent capacity additions.
- Marathon expects to see costs increase if the US continues with a plan to add tariffs on imported oil from Canada, adding that producers will bear the brunt of the price increases, followed by consumers to a less extent.
