What’s the harm with imposing tariffs on North American energy?

The federal government is considering levying a range of tariffs on products imported into the United States, potentially including a 25% blanket tariff on all items imported from our North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico. If such tariffs were to include crude oil and refined products, the consequences could be significant.

How much oil does the United States import (and why)?

About 60% of the crude oil that runs through U.S. refineries is extracted right here at home. However, our refineries run on many different types of crude oil, some of which we don’t produce here or can’t economically transport. In those cases, we use imports.

101 Series: Crude-Coking — Coker Monitoring and KPI

101 Series, Crude, Coking


This presentation will focus on the key performance indicators (KPIs) essential for optimizing delayed coker unit operations. It will examine the influence of feed properties on coke quality and heater fouling, while highlighting strategies to improve heater performance and maximize coke drum capacity utilization. Particular emphasis will be placed on minimizing coke drum outages and optimizing cycle time management to enhance unit throughput and reliability. The discussion will also address fractionator and gas plant performance, with a focus on maximizing liquid recovery, as well as evaluating blowdown system. Collectively, these KPIs provide a comprehensive framework for driving operational excellence and improving overall coker profitability.
