Sun Oil

"Koch Industries sold a lot of crude oil to a refinery owned by Sun Oil in Corpus Christi. But Koch didn’t just collect money when it sold crude to Sun Oil. It also collected intelligence. Bernard Paulson’s team knew how much oil Sun was purchasing, and what kind of oil. Then he learned who Sun’s customers were, and what those customers paid for Sun’s product. Paulson began using his computer models to study the market that surrounded Sun Oil’s refinery. He studied what equipment was inside the refinery and at what volume that equipment could process oil. He learned what products Sun was making and at what volumes. He learned where Sun was selling its products and at what price. The Sun Oil refinery in Corpus Christi processed the same kind of “light crude” that most other refineries used.I Sun Oil did not have the type of coker towers that processed the heavy, sulfur-rich crudes refined at Pine Bend."
