Valero is one of the largest independent refiners, with Gulf Coast plants oriented toward export.
Location is a competitive advantage: the refineries sit at ports where cheap crude arrives by sea and finished fuel departs for Latin America and Europe. That allows selling into whichever market offers the better margin rather than the domestic one alone.
The economics are any refiner's: earnings come from the gap between feedstock and fuel prices, not the absolute price of crude. An additional advantage is plant complexity: the refineries can process cheaper heavy grades and still yield the same light products.
A separate line is renewable diesel, where revenue depends partly on government incentives rather than the market alone. Risks are refinery outages and changes to biofuel regulation. Valero pays a dividend and buys back stock consistently.
