This statistic displays the refining margins of selected major crude oil types by region, from 2012 to 2015. In the first quarter of 2013, Brent cracking of Northwest Europe had a refining margin of 0.52 U.S. dollars per barrel. In Europe, refining margins have become strong in recent quarters due to attractive gasoline and diesel cracks and weak crude oil prices. Weak demand and excess supplies may also continue to boost refining margins.
