Refining & refined products
Refinery and refined-products expert witness experience.
Quincy Jones began his career in refinery process engineering and later advised on refinery operations, product valuation, optimization, market analysis and damages.
Understanding what a refinery can make — and why
Refinery disputes can involve configuration, crude quality, yields, blending, product specifications, logistics and market economics. The commercial answer often depends on the physical operating case.
- Refinery configuration and process-unit capabilities
- Crude selection, API gravity, sulfur, TAN and yields
- Product slate and commercial optimization
- LPG versus fuel production decisions
- Blending and product-quality specifications
- Terminal and marine logistics
- Refined-product pricing and published market information
- Lost production and commercial damages
Operations
Process configuration, operating conditions, hardware limitations, quality requirements and yield relationships.
Markets
Product values, regional balances, published benchmarks, blending economics and commercial alternatives.
Damages
Lost volumes, margins, operating costs, logistics, mitigation and the economic consequences of a claimed interruption or contractual event.
