One hundred thirty three refineries across sixteen countries, drawn from federal filings, pipeline incident reports, and operator ten-Ks. Daily text alerts on the outages that move the curve. A single email each Friday.
Refinery turnaround calendars cost forty thousand dollars a year. The vendor list reads like a financial-data oligopoly: Genscape, Argus, Wood Mackenzie, S&P Platts. The data is good. The price is set for a desk at a major bank.
We are building the dataset that should have been free a decade ago. The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes refinery capacity in Form 820, updated quarterly. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration publishes incidents in real time. Operators disclose unit configurations in ten-K filings. The work is to crawl, normalize, dedupe, geocode, and serve.
The first hundred thirty three rows are live. They cover ninety-two percent of U.S. atmospheric crude distillation capacity and the world's largest refineries: Motiva Port Arthur, Marathon Galveston Bay, Reliance Jamnagar, ExxonMobil Baytown. Each carries provenance: which sources contributed, when they were last refreshed, and the confidence level on disputed values like Nelson Complexity Index.
Login launches in six weeks. Your phone gets at most three text messages a day, gated by the regions you select. Friday brings a turnaround calendar, an outage roll-up, and the crack-spread snapshot. The first thousand subscribers pay nothing forever.
Two refineries, sixty years before SCADA. The work was visible from the road, the smoke audible at night. Plates II–III. Russell Lee, Seminole, Oklahoma, August 1939 (LC-USF34-034038-D); John Vachon, Freedom, Pennsylvania, January 1941 (LC-USF34-018706-D). Farm Security Administration.
The dataset, today. The full directory is live in the BOMForge sister surface. Each refinery has a satellite hero, a feedstock slate (API gravity, sulfur, primary crude grades), and an outbound product mix. The taxonomy is published as JSON-LD at /refinery-ontology.jsonld; cite it.
Daily SMS, in six weeks. Three messages per day, hard cap. Outages above fifty thousand barrels per day in your region. Turnarounds beginning that morning. Crack-spread two-sigma moves. Reply STOP at any time.
The Friday email, in six weeks. Sent at four o'clock central, the U.S. Gulf Coast close. Turnaround calendar for the week ahead. Top ten outages of the week behind. Six benchmark crack spreads. Region-by-region utilization.
The map, in twelve weeks. Refineries scaled by capacity, ringed by status. Pipeline overlay. Tank-farm hubs. Tanker AIS layer. A Gantt of every disclosed turnaround, three years forward and two years back. Built on real cartography, not the default Mapbox blue.
Daily text plus Friday email. Free forever for the first thousand subscribers. We will text you once when login goes live (target: six weeks). Reply STOP at any time. We do not sell or share.
