Impact of PADD 1 Refining Outages on North American Energy Markets
Compounding refinery outages at Paulsboro and Irving Oil Saint John are tightening supply for the US East Coast (PADD 1) during a critical maintenance window. This reduction in regional throughput increases reliance on external supply chains and elevates the risk of localized price volatility. Market participants should monitor the duration of these turnarounds for potential downstream impacts.
