Seven hundred five refineries across one hundred sixteen countries. The dataset is built from EIA Form 820, PHMSA pipeline incidents, SEC EDGAR ten-K filings, and operator press releases. Daily SMS on confirmed outages above fifty thousand bpd. One Friday email.
A Genscape Refinery Intelligence seat costs around forty-two thousand dollars a year. Argus, Wood Mackenzie, and S&P Platts price similarly. The data is good. The price is for one desk at one bank.
We rebuild the dataset from sources that are already free. The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes refinery capacity in Form 820, refreshed quarterly. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration publishes incidents in real time. Operators disclose unit configuration in ten-K filings. The engineering is in the crawl, the dedup, and the geocoding.
The largest plants on Earth are in the dataset today. Motiva Port Arthur at 636,500 bpd. Marathon Galveston Bay at 593,000. Reliance Jamnagar SEZ at 704,000. ExxonMobil Baytown at 584,000. Sinopec Maoming at 470,000. Dangote Lagos at 650,000. Every row names the source it was built from.
Login launches in six weeks. Three SMS messages per day, hard cap, gated by region. Friday brings the next-week turnaround calendar, the past-week outage roll-up, and the six-benchmark crack-spread snapshot. SMS and email are free. Paid tiers unlock the map, the historical archive, and the API.

The dataset, today. The full directory is at bomforge.com/refineries. 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. We push the alert when an outage above fifty thousand bpd is confirmed by a primary source: operator press release, PHMSA incident filing, EPA notice, or a corroborating second source. Plus turnarounds starting that morning, plus two-sigma moves on 3-2-1 Gulf, RBOB-Brent, and ULSD-Brent. Three messages per day, hard cap. Reply STOP anytime.
The Friday email, in six weeks. Four o'clock central, the U.S. Gulf Coast close. The week-ahead turnaround calendar. The week-behind outage roll-up. Six crack spreads: 3-2-1 Gulf, 3-2-1 Group 3, 5-3-2 Chicago, RBOB-Brent, NYH ULSD-Brent, Singapore 6-1-2-3. PADD utilization rates.
The map, in twelve weeks. Refinery markers scaled by capacity, ringed by status. Pipeline overlay. Tank-farm hubs at Cushing, Houston, Patoka, St. James, Edmonton. Tanker AIS layer. A Gantt of every disclosed turnaround back to 2010.
Daily text plus Friday email, both free. Paid tiers (map, history, API) on launch. We will text you once when login goes live (target: six weeks). Reply STOP at any time. We do not sell or share.
