Conclusions from 2010 OPIS Presentation 

• World oil demand growth will be largely in non‐OECD countries as OECD economic growth remains moderate and oil intensity declines.

• Many large, new, high‐conversion refineries East of Suez are targeting exports.  Combined with tepid OECD demand, additional refinery shutdowns in Europe and the U.S. are likely.

• Traditional OECD domestic and import suppliers will fight to maintain historical product market shares vs. new non‐OECD exporters.

• Cost competitiveness of new product imports into the Atlantic Basin will be influenced by light‐heavy crude oil spreads.  Even with moderate spreads, some European and U.S. conversion refineries may be at risk.

China’s stated intention is that new domestic refining capacity will satisfy its incremental 4 MMB/D demand.

Thus, only about 1 MMB/D of  new crude runs may be needed to meet world demand in 2020 vs. 2010.  Existing refineries could supply!       

New refining capacity in East of Suez will create a refining surplus — the extent of which will depend largely on China’s ability to build new refineries.

• Some Rocky Mountain refineries have enjoyed price advantage since before 2008.• Immediate area around Bakken has benefited since 2009.• Larger number of PADD 2 refineries benefited as “takeaway” capacity limited in 2011.• Growth in Eagle Ford, Permian, and the GOM production will extend advantages to the USGC

Can the New Foreign Refineries Compete in the U.S.?   

• Most of the new Asian and Middle East refineries are large, complex, heavy crude oil facilities; therefore:– When light‐heavy crude oil differentials are narrow‐‐usually the case 

when demand is stagnant and crude oil is plentiful‐‐the new foreign refiners will have difficulty competing in the U.S.

– Instead, after they have saturated the Asian market, they will try to “push” product into the next largest (and closest) market—Europe.

– If light‐heavy crude oil differentials widen‐‐which will only happen if the world oil demand increases and/or a supply disruption occurs in the Middle East, then the new foreign facilities can be more competitive in the U.S.  Typically, the light‐heavy differential needs to exceed $7.00/Bbl. for this to happen.

• A Reshuffling of Refining‒ Five of eight fuels refineries shut down since 2009—but two restarted (Trainer 

and Delaware City) with new owners . Only one refinery had a single owner throughout this period (Linden).

Gasoline Exports

• Mexico takes 60% of the gasoline.• But future gasoline exports to Mexico are limited:

– Mexico gasoline demand is relatively flat.– New domestic refinery production.– Limited European imports to displace.

• Exports to Brazil will decline as ethanol supply and demand gets back into balance.

• Some Hovensa volumes can be replaced.• Limited growth elsewhere.

ULSD Exports

• Europe still a strong distillate market with high prices.• PADD 3 ULSD spot prices averaged 4‐5 cents per gallon below Europe over last two years.

• Latin American ULSD demand is expected to exceed the region’s production—more countries moving to ULSD.

• PADD 3 is well positioned logistically for supply of any incremental Western Hemisphere ULSD demand.

• Low cost hydrogen provides U.S. refiners with an additional competitive advantage.

• ULSD exports likely to grow in the 20%‐30% range annually through 2013‐2014.

33

Potential Realignment of Atlantic Trade

• Flat U.S. domestic demand, plus recent refinery expansions make export barrels more attractive.

• Low cost shale oils, plus more heavy Canadian supplies improve competitiveness of PADD 3 exports.

• U.S. refiners have potential to displace refined products in Atlantic trade previously supplied by Europe and the Middle East.– U.S. advantage over Europe is over $2.00/Bbl. of ULSD for hydrogen costs alone.

– U.S. refiners almost on equal energy cost footing with Middle East exporters.

• Weak business environment reduces demand.

• Cracking plants just above breakeven long‐term.

• Hydroskimming is not profitable. 

• U.S. East Coast gasoline shortfall not likely to be sufficient to encourage higher European crude runs.

• More direct competition from Middle East and Asia.

• Result:  more potential refinery closures.

European Demand Decline Continues

• Since 2006, light product demand has declined at the rate of 1.8%/year.

• Gasoline demand has declined at the rate of 3.9%/year—diesel only marginally.

• These trends likely to continue until a solution to the European financial crisis restores higher GDP growth.

European Supply/Demand Mismatch

• European taxes favoring diesel over gasoline have created a product mix necessitating  gasoline/naphtha exports and distillate imports.

• But most large gasoline markets are already well supplied‐‐and European refineries are the least competitive.

• Distillate is in short supply in many developing markets, making for expensive imports.

• Competitively disadvantaged compared to the U.S., the Middle East, and Indian export refineries.‒ High crude oil and natural gas supply costs.

‒ Lower vacuum gas oil and resid upgrading capability.

‒ Upcoming EU carbon emission rules.

‒ Poor economies of scale.

‒ Higher maintenance and operating costs.

• Target market for new, complex export refineries.

• Result:  expect more refinery shutdowns.

Problems Continue for Euro Zone Refiners

Conclusions

• Surplus worldwide refining capacity through 2020.

• New North American production will give U.S. refiners long‐term competitive advantage.

• Inland refiners (and with focus on distillates) better positioned than coastal facilities.

• Gulf Coast refiners should benefit from export markets in Latin America and West Africa.

• European refiners continue under pressure from both U.S. and new East of Suez facilities.
