PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kline releases a white paper on how the performance of crude oil prices impacting base oil and finished lubricant markets across the globe.
Price volatility on the global commodity markets is an accepted fact of life, but when does short-term volatility become a trend, and what are the underlying causes behind that trend? It is hard enough to analyze those effects in mainstream oil markets because of the wide separation between cost and value, but even more challenging when assessing short-term dynamics in specialty products markets, such as those for base oils and lubricants.
In this paper, we will address several topics:

2. Apparent Trends in Near-term Lube Oil Consumption
3. Impacts on Base Oil Production and Profitability
4. Impacts on Margins in Lube Marketing
