Refinery Economics on the Brink of Bankruptcy
Saison 1 · Épisode 57
mercredi 27 août 2025 • Durée 25:33
In this week’s episode, our host Alex explores Britain’s shrinking refinery sector, which has fallen from over 20 sites in the 1970s to just 4 today. The Prax Lindsay Oil Refinery is now closing, marking another blow to the industry. Meanwhile, the owners’ fortunes have reversed, shifting from Rich List billionaires to facing a £250 million outstanding tax bill to the UK government. Alex unpacks two decades of refinery shifts across Europe, what keeps them viable, and the real factors driving profitability.
This recent closure brings great sadness to the Wolfe Power Club as we know many of the highly skilled workers were affected. Alex has spent 20 years helping companies and organisations buy, sell and make downstream assets work. This week, we will be doing a deep dive into refinery economics.
