East Coast refiners have lower profit margins than their U.S. peers, largely because of a reliance on crude imports from West Africa and other markets. In addition, many of them have been struggling with environmental regulations which force them to spend money on renewable energy credits.
Philadelphia Energy Solutions had strong profits in 2014 and 2015 due to investments in rail terminals that allowed the refiner to bring in discounted Bakken crude oil in mile-long trains from North Dakota.

But the boom turned to bust by the end of 2015 as oil prices plummeted and the discount for North Dakota crude disappeared. The fallout hit oil and gas explorers and producers hard, with scores of them, such as Linn Energy Inc and Breitburn Energy Partners LP, filing for bankruptcy last year.

2015年底， 该公司再没有从North Dakota的页岩油中得到折扣。 炼油厂需要以原油为原材料，对原油进行提炼来赚取利润。

美国官方EIA估计2018年底美国原油产量达1千1百万桶。 但美国东部炼油厂家即倒闭，而这间厂正是前几年用North Dakota 的页岩油为原材料起家的。

炼油厂是消耗原油。炼油厂倒闭，最根本的，是竞争不到原油。这也是对美国原油产量激增的高度怀疑。
