European Oil and Gas Monthly: August 2024 – refining decline continues

Benchmark refining margins fell by USD 1.7/bbl in August to USD 8.6/bbl, continuing the trend of recent months. Falling petrol cracks were the main driver, although crude differentials are still a weakness. Petrochemicals margins have benefited from lower oil prices, but remain well below average levels.
