The Lytton Refiner Margin (LRM)1 for the second quarter reached the unprecedented level of US$32.96 per barrel, materially higher than the US$10.59 per barrel realised in the first quarter. The significant increase in Singapore Weighted Average Margin (SWAM) was the key driver of the increase, reaching US$33.62 per barrel for the quarter
“IOC (Indian Oil Corporation) reported an 88 per cent year-on-year decline in its standalone EBITDA to Rs 1,358.9 crore and a net loss of Rs 1,992.5 crore, despite record high gross refining margins (GRMs) of $ 31.8 per barrel for the quarter.
Vietnam's Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical recorded net profit of $424 MM in the second quarter, up by nearly six times from a year earlier, the company said on Tuesday.

However, the IEA said the EU embargo on Russian crude and product imports, which comes into full effect in February 2023, would result in “further declines” as about 1m barrels a day of products and 1.3m barrels a day of crude “would have to find new homes”.
Meanwhile, with natural gas and electricity prices soaring, “incentivising gas-to-oil switching in some countries”, the IEA has raised its estimates for 2022 global oil demand growth by 380,000 barrels a day, to 2.1m barrels a day.
The global heatwave has also seen an increased oil burn in power generation, especially in Europe and the Middle East but also across Asia.
The report added: “EU members have committed to reducing their demand for gas by 15% from August 2022 to March 2023. We estimate that this will increase oil consumption by roughly 300,000 barrels a day for the next six quarters.”

“There is information that the Russian occupation forces are planning to shut down the power blocks and disconnect them from the power supply lines to the Ukrainian power system in the near future,” the Ukrainian statement said.
“The Russian military is currently looking for fuel suppliers for the diesel generators, which are supposed to turn on after the power units are shut down in the absence of an external power supply for the nuclear fuel cooling systems,” it said.
The vast nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, was captured by Russian forces in March, but it is still staffed by Ukrainian technicians, though only two of its six reactors are working at full capacity.
Turning the plant off would pile new pressure on Ukrainian supplies, particularly in the south. Ukraine is already bracing for its most difficult winter since independence and preparing for a possible energy shortage.
Energoatom, the state power company that operates the plant, says the Russian occupiers are preparing to stage a "large-scale provocation" there.
It also says the Russian military is looking for suppliers of fuel for diesel generators, which would need to be turned on if power units are shut down.
All station personnel - except for those essential to the running of the plant - have been told to stay at home.
HANOI -- PetroVietnam Power, a unit of state-run Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, has announced plans to build an oil refinery and petrochemical complex in the country. The total investment is expected to be up to $18.5 billion.
Posted by probability > 22 minutes ago | Report Abuse The above means US $ 13 billion for a refinery with a capacity 210k bpd. ----------------- The capacity of Hengyuan is 155k bpd. Hence Hengyuan should worth =USD13/210*155=USD9.6 billion. Hengyuan plant is about 40 years old, should worth at least USD5 billion or RM22 billion.
The package of sanctions E.U. has prohibits the import (or purchase or transfer, directly or indirectly) of Russian crude oil and certain petroleum products into member states, as well as the seaborne delivery of such goods to third countries. Any insurance, reinsurance, technical assistance, brokering services, financing, financial assistance or any other related services, direct or indirect, are also prohibited. A wind-down period of six to eight months applies to existing contracts and “one-off” spot contracts, provided certain reporting requirements are met.
Again, it is prohibited to provide insurance or reinsurance for maritime transport of crude oil and refined petroleum products to third countries. European Union operators and entities may not provide any new insurance or finance contracts for the transport, in particular through maritime routes, of Russian oil to third countries. The Council has included a wind-down period of six months (until 5 December 2022) for closing out any existing contracts executed before 4 June 2022.
What is the impact of the ban on oil, on Russia and the EU?
The impact of the oil ban on Russia will be significant. Around half of its total oil exports go to the EU. In 2021, the EU imported €71 billion worth of crude oil (€48 billion) and refined oil products (€23 billion) from Russia.
Losing this leading lucrative market will have a significant structural effect on Russia, whose budget relies substantially on these oil revenues.
The European Union plans an almost-complete embargo of Russian barrels by year-end, and is trying to wean itself off Russian crude imports, which have fed inland refineries in Germany.
“The replacement of even a part of Russian supplies will lead to underloading of the plant and a sharp increase in the cost of petroleum products, the shortage of which is already a serious threat to the German consumer market today.”
@probability- we shd all be grateful for your sharing and updates . Thanks bro! I seldom comment here because there just too much nonsense comments which does not add value to any discussion.

Correction:
...........
we shall use Mogas 95 instead of Mogas 92 with a premium of about US $4/brl
https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NYMEX-SMU1!/
and the avg of the remaining products matching Mogas 95 as a minimum
Revised refining margin calculation:
= (0.46 x 42.34 ) + (0.35 x 15.91) + (0.07 x 34.10) + (0.12 x 15.91)
= 19.46 + 5.56 + 2.38 + 1.90
= US $ 29.3 / brl
I really wish all of HY debt is cleared soon..
