Building on its tradition of exhaustive data-gathering and analysis, PIRA has
created the most comprehensive refinery database in the world. PIRA's World
Refinery Database provides an in-depth, forward-looking view of U.S. and
international refinery capacity by unit and configuration, along with detailed
ownership history. The database encompasses every refinery and associated
process unit in the world, providing regular updates and an historic archive
for each facility.
The database is easily accessible from PIRA’s online portal and offers a variety
of query options at the user’s discretion. Because the searchable data can be
downloaded into spreadsheets, charts, and other formats, it is an invaluable
tool for clients to have and use in their own independent assessment and
analysis. Simply put, PIRA's database is geared for companies that highly value
a comprehensive review of the state of the world's refineries, their history
and their future plans. Instead of endlessly searching for this data in
multiple locations, you can have it right at your fingertips on PIRA Online.

Capacity Evolution
Users can create capacity evolution reports as well as charts that allow them
to analyze and compare trends of historical capacity data, covering any time
period, mix of geographical locations, individual owner/operator company or
owner/operator group of companies, and any refinery configuration. Data can be
presented in the form of an annual cumulative change or annual incremental
change - with the ability to drill down to aggregated quarterly detail.
Utilizing this information, World Refinery Database users can analyze past
refining capacity developments and plan forward strategies.
-
Ownership Evolution
Ownership evolution reports contain detailed information on historical
development of ownership percent share for every refinery in the world covering
the full time period of the project.
-

margin calculations are based upon the most current data generated by PIRA’s
refinery model simulation of operations in each regional refining center.
