Starting from Colonial Pipeline transport capacity, 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 shutdown directly cuts conversion of crude feedstock into gasoline and diesel, so these core fuels become less available.
94% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskThe halted refinery also reduces supply of other refined products, including home heating oil, which is produced from crude feedstock.
91% confidencePBF Energy →Prices riseLibya’s refinery and crude-pipeline disruptions tighten oil markets and can lift PBF’s crude feedstock costs, and this input has only moderate substitutability with a multi-month replacement horizon.
Hop 2
Home heating oil →DelaysAtmospheric Distillation (Crude Fractionation)
The refinery halt directly stops crude fractionation, so the first production step for home heating oil is delayed.
97% confidenceHome heating oil →DelaysHydrotreating / Desulfurization (ULSHO Production)
With the plant halted, the hydrotreating step that makes on-spec low-sulfur heating oil is also delayed.
96% confidenceHome heating oil →DelaysBlending & Quality Control
A shutdown leaves blending and quality control without finished product to process, delaying final home heating oil release.
