Starting from Crude Oil Feedstock, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Crude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskA refinery outage directly cuts conversion of crude feedstock into transportation fuels, making gasoline and diesel scarcer during repairs.
94% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskThe same crude-processing disruption reduces heating-oil output, tightening home heating oil supply while the refinery is repaired.
93% confidencePetróleos del Perú (Petroperú) →Shortage riskA refinery fire that cuts refined-product output can make marine diesel and bunker fuel scarcer; with only 5% share and moderate substitutability, the effect should be noticeable but limited.
38% confidenceHop 2
Marine Diesel and Bunker Fuel →Shortage riskMarine diesel and bunker fuel is a critical input for fishing and seafood logistics, so a refinery-driven supply squeeze can directly constrain output and transport.
96% confidenceHome heating oil →DelaysAtmospheric Distillation (Crude Fractionation)
A refinery fire directly disrupts crude fractionation capacity, which is the first bottleneck in making home heating oil, so throughput falls and repair lead times stretch.
86% confidenceHome heating oil →DelaysHydrotreating / Desulfurization (ULSHO Production)
Home heating oil depends on hydrotreating/desulfurization, and fire damage at the refinery can idle or slow that unit, delaying finished fuel output.
Hop 3
Seafood and fish →DelaysWild Capture / Aquaculture Harvest
Marine diesel and bunker fuel scarcity can directly delay fishing trips and aquaculture harvest operations, constraining seafood throughput.
72% confidenceSeafood and fish →DelaysVessel Processing or Chilled Transport
Higher bunker-fuel costs and constrained fuel supply slow onboard processing and refrigerated transport within the seafood supply chain.
