Conference Alert: Bunker & Residual Fuel Oil

“There’s nothing wrong with revenge – it’s the best way to get even!” – Archie Bunker, a fictional New Yorker in the 1970s American television sitcom All in the Family

Platts 11th Annual Bunker & Residual Fuel Oil (www.platts.com/bunkerfuel) is scheduled for June 24–25, 2014, Houston, Texas. The conference focuses on the markets and economics of bunker and resid, rather than the technical research into how to process the stuff.  But, since economics influences the direction that research may take, those of you who are engaged on the technical side may be interested.

Here is some information on the conference, as well as on Platts.
