Fuel markets to stay tight till mid-2020s as refining shrinks Reuters | Sep 13, 2022 05:09AM
By Ahmad Ghaddar LONDON (Reuters) - Crude oil refining capacity has shrunk by a record 3.8 million barrels per day from March 2020 to mid-2022 as demand expanded, setting the stage for fuel markets to remain very tight until at least mid-decade, International Energy Forum and S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI) research showed. The fall in capacity comes as oil demand rose by 5.6 million bpd over the same period, the report released on Tuesday said.
A public listed company is not defined by opportunities and circumstances when it comes to its share price. Why are we here? The company’s performance or its share price movements?
Record breaking profits with no real enthusiasm from “investors”. Cash balance reduced, debtors and creditors both increased, liabilities way higher than equity. That’s at least 3 quarters in a row last time I checked

Probability, I can be a teenager or a really old dude or even be another Lee Thiam Wah. That’s below the belt from you. And I ain’t a lady that gets sensitive about age questions

Good for him. At 90 still hoping to gather more wealth....probably pray for better health. Heard him say his legs are giving away. Walking is problem too.
Record volumes of refining capacity have been shut down over the past two years, which will lead to tight global fuel markets that will last at least through the middle of this decade. According to a new report by the International Energy Forum (IEF) and S&P Global, we can expect high volatility in fuel markets and fuel prices.
Between 2020 and the middle of 2022, as much as 3.8 million barrels per day (bpd) of gross atmospheric crude distillation capacity closed - a record high number, the report found.
Lower crude distillation capacity and reduced petroleum product exports from Russia and China drove refinery margins to record levels this summer, to a record $35-50 per barrel compared to the typical $10 a barrel, “underscoring the severe bottlenecks in the sector,” said the report from the Riyadh-based IEF and S&P Global.
US June CPI 9.1 % , July CPI 8.5 % … August CPI is predicted 5.5 % … ----------------- Look like information is leaked, hence the US stock markets are bullish now.
what a state of chronic paranoia due to past volatility on earnings of refinery
one shall talk about sustainability of earnings when stocks are trading above PE 20 may be..or the least PE 10
panicking now for a stock that barely moved up from its historic avg low?
refinery stock like HY only needs 13 USD/brl avg refining margin to deliver EPS above RM 1 consistently
now its averaging above 26 USD/brl
and we dont need RM 1 EPS per qtr to justify current price, even 40 cents consistently would do...
there are too many structural changes GLOBALLY that indicates constraints will remain due to shortage in global refining capacity and takes years (more than 5 years to build a refinery and investors are not keen despite high margin currently) unlike gloves for supply to catch up with demand...
its earnings can certainly be volatile, but the mean avg of the crack is expected to be significantly higher than previous years as intermittent shortage due to refinery maintenance, break down etc is high....
as such the odds of margin spiking intermittently is just too high going forward
this especially so considering russian sanction (which is the core of the structural changes that we are basing here)
Q3 - Rock bottom EPS analysis (using lowest possible average crack spread during the period) .........................
Using extreme conservative scenario where 50% of HY throughput is hedged where they will only reflect hedge margin at extra low 10 USD/brl, with the balance free to capture market margin
your lay man theory ABSOLUTELY WRONG, as they have hedged with maturities up till 2024
YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR IQ..
9 million barrels of hedged instruments cannot expire within 3 months
if that happens, Q2 would have reported EPS as if its 100% hedged at 12 USD/brl margin but they reported above 20 USD/brl after derivative loss of 400 million!!
1 QTR revenue is 10 million barrels
that should be simple common sense to layman...
.........
@MM simple question to you...
what is the difference between Cash flow hedge reserve and Cost of hedging Reserve...
you do not know IFRS 9...
MM - OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW A SINGLE THING ABOUT OCI...LOL!

a company is not a like an animal where it has inherent property that never changes..
a company is defined by the opportunities & circumstances that arise..
its extremely dynamic and even more so - stock trade/investments

Lol probability wants to know the truth
Truth’s been there for 5 to 7 years when it comes to the company. Truth’s been there for the past 5 months when it comes to the share price
Trade it like I said before
