The service brings together S&P Global Commodity Insights experts in regional downstream markets, biofuels, automotive, maritime, chemicals, economics, and our latest research to supply the foundation for our long-term comprehensive views of the downstream industry for major refined products (gasoline, naphtha, diesel/gasoil, jet/kerosene, and heavy fuel oil) supply and demand balances, utilization rates, new refinery projects and potential capacity rationalization, capacity, inter-regional trade, and investment outlooks to 2050. He oversees the energy demand forecasting model and does the global product balancing.

Victor specializes in data flow, modeling and process improvement and has made major improvements to the ASW framework, visualization, review, and coordination efforts. He is overseeing the movement of all model inputs and outputs along with client delivery into a modern, powerful database across the broader Oil Markets, Midstream and Downstream Insights group as the first step in seamless integration and upgrading of our modeling systems.
