PBF Energy Inc
Company Overview
History and Background

Core Business Areas
- Refining: PBF Energy owns and operates six domestic oil refineries located in California, Delaware, Louisiana, New Jersey and Ohio. The company refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products.
- Logistics: PBF Logistics LP (PBFX) is a master limited partnership formed by PBF Energy to own, operate, develop, and acquire crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities, and similar assets. PBF Logistics LP has since been taken private again.
Leadership and Structure

Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Gasoline: PBF Energy refines crude oil into gasoline. Gasoline market share is subject to significant fluctuation and region-specific dynamics. Major competitors include Valero (VLO) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC). Refining margins are key drivers of profitability.
- Diesel: PBF Energy produces diesel fuel as part of its refining operations. As with gasoline, market share varies geographically and depends on regional demand. Competitors include Valero (VLO) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC).
- Jet Fuel: PBF Energy produces jet fuel as a part of its refining operations. Jet fuel demand is dependent on airline travel. Competitors include Valero (VLO) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC).
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The petroleum refining industry is characterized by high capital intensity, cyclical demand, and fluctuating crude oil prices. Refiners are exposed to geopolitical events, regulatory changes, and environmental concerns.
Positioning
PBF Energy is an independent refiner with a significant presence in the East Coast, Gulf Coast, and West Coast. Its competitive advantage lies in its diverse refinery portfolio and logistics capabilities.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM for refined petroleum products is massive, measured in hundreds of billions of dollars globally. PBF's revenue gives it a fractional amount of that TAM but focuses its regional presence.
