Refinery Coking Units - Global Market Analysis, Capacity Forecasts and Competitive Landscape to 2016 Middle East and Africa Planning to Expand Coking Capacity Aggressively Despite possessing huge crude oil reserves, the Middle East and Africa have a limited presence in the global coking market. In 2010, the region had a coking capacity of 7.5 MMtpa, which was 2.5% of the global coking capacity. During the period 2005–2010, the coking capacity of the region increased at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 4.0%. This was largely due to relatively relaxed regulations for emission in the region. However, with most oil producing countries in the region planning to emerge as leading petroleum product exporters, the number of complex refineries in the region have been increasing. By 2014, the Middle East and Africa is planning to triple its current coking capacity. During the period 2011–2016, the region’s oking capacity growth is expected to be at an AAGR of 24.9%, which would be the highest amongst all lobal regions. The global refinery coking market is highly fragmented as there is no absolute domination by any one ountry or company. In 2010, the global coking market consisted of 80 companies, 171 operational coking efineries across 37 countries from five regions, with a total coking capacity of 305.3 million metric tons er annum (MMtpa). The top five companies worldwide accounted for 36.8% of the global coking capacity in 2010. Operations of three of these top five companies - ExxonMobil Corporation, ConocoPhillips and Valero Energy Corporation are spread across various countries, while the other two companies, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and Petrochina Company Ltd. have operations in China.

There were also a few refineries in the US and Europe that shut down or operated at a decreased capacity during the recession. In Europe, Kherson Refinery stopped its refining operations in 2006, and Neftekhimik Refinery stopped its coking operations between 2010 and 2011. Both of these refineries are located in Ukraine. In the US, Delaware Refinery stopped its operations between 2009 and 2010 and Yorktown Refinery stopped its operations in 2009. “Refinery Coking Units – Global Market Analysis, Capacity Forecasts and Competitive Landscape to 2016”, is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis specialists, that offers comprehensive information on the Refinery Coking Market.
