Vaccum Gas Oil Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Vacuum gas oil (VGO) is a major feedstock for fluid catalytic crackers which is used to form transportation fuels and many other derivatives. Vacuum gas oil is also known as cat feed. This feedstock for fluid catalytic cracker is used to manufacture gasoline, gas oil and many other by-products. VGO is an important element of petroleum hydrocarbon distillate family that contains hydrocarbon material, which is denser than diesel.
