Laurel Pipeline Bidirectional Expansion Opens a New Midwest-to-East Coast Fuel Route
October 23, 2026 • OPIS TALKS REFINED FUELS:
Buckeye Partners’ Laurel Pipeline Bidirectional Expansion is enabling refined products to move east from the U.S. Midwest to New York Harbor and other East Coast markets for the first time. With the Northeast reliant on imports and facing potential disruption from Middle East conflicts, the service could alter regional supply patterns, reduce demand for Gulf Coast and overseas barrels, and give Midwest refiners another outlet—particularly for gasoline during the winter months.
In the latest episode of OPIS Talks, hosted by Reagan Pritchard, lead editor for the U.S. Gulf Coast Distillates Market at Dow Jones Energy and a contributor to the Worldwide Jet Fuel Report, Frank Tang, a reporter with the Dow Jones Energy news team, discusses his interview with Buckeye’s Chief Commercial Officer Corey Leonard.
Tune in to learn more about the project, who’s using this service, and how it may affect East Coast demand for Gulf Coast products and feedstock movements.

GLP en Conexión: El salto exportador de Argentina y el nuevo paradigma regional del GLP
October 22, 2026 • OPIS TALKS LPG:
El mercado de GLP en América Latina está entrando en una nueva etapa. Geopolítica, volatilidad, infraestructura y nuevas fuentes de suministro están redefiniendo cómo la región compra, transporta y consume GLP. Pero ¿qué factores realmente están moviendo el mercado y cuáles son simplemente ruido?
En este episodio de GLP en Conexión, Adrian Calcaneo, Vicepresidente de Energía y Materias Primas en OPIS, conversa con Fabricio Duarte, Director Ejecutivo de la AIGLP, para analizar las fuerzas que están transformando el mercado regional y, sobre todo, qué significan para las empresas que deben tomar decisiones de suministro, inversión y gestión de riesgo.
En este episodio analizamos:
- Geopolítica vs. fundamentos: ¿por qué Mont Belvieu se mantuvo relativamente estable incluso ante las tensiones en el estrecho de Ormuz? ¿Qué nos dice esto sobre los verdaderos fundamentos
del mercado?
- Spot vs. contratos de largo plazo: el costo —y el riesgo— de depender del mercado spot y las lecciones que dejan mercados como Colombia y Perú.
- Un nuevo mapa de suministro: cómo Vaca Muerta y Guyana podrían cambiar los flujos regionales, diversificar el abastecimiento y reducir la dependencia del Golfo de Estados Unidos.
- Infraestructura y seguridad energética: el creciente papel del GLP en la generación eléctrica, la industria y las estrategias de seguridad energética de América Latina.
- Lo que viene: las señales que compradores, distribuidores, productores e inversionistas deberían observar durante los próximos meses.
Más que explicar lo que ya ocurrió, este episodio busca entender qué viene después.
Escuche GLP en Conexión para obtener una perspectiva estratégica sobre los cambios que están redefiniendo el mercado latinoamericano de GLP y las oportunidades y riesgos que podrían marcar el próximo trimestre.

Tariff Talk: From Methanol to Diesel in a Prolonged Middle East Crisis
October 7, 2026 • OPIS TALKS COAL, METALS & MINING:
The latest Tariff Talk episode of OPIS Talks examines how prolonged disruption in the Middle East is reaching far beyond crude and refined products, affecting the flow of helium, aluminum, sulfur, fertilizers, methanol and LNG—and raising wider questions about food costs, industrial supply chains, European power prices and the global economy. The conversation also explores the potential consequences of U.S. diesel-export restrictions, including possible effects on refining operations, trade flows, the dollar and Treasury yields, as well as the policy and regulatory uncertainty surrounding the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
Hosted by James Stevenson, the episode features Charles Dayton in a wide-ranging discussion of the commodity, financial-market and geopolitical risks that could shape the months ahead.
Tune in for an analysis of how energy-market disruption can cascade across commodities, economies and policy—and the signals market participants should be watching next.
