text: Whereas oil companies earn a profit on the difference (or margin) between what it costs them to produce a barrel of oil, and the price at which they sell, most downstream companies make money on the spread between what they pay to buy raw materials such as crude oil, and the price at which they sell higher-valued refined products or petrochemicals.
