Global Refining MarginsMargins have diverged reflecting local conditions
Source: Wood Mackenzie
In 2011, composite complex margins were being driven by different local factors
Margins on the USGC were supported by good demand for exports to Latin America and Europe, despite weak domestic demand growth
In Europe, production problems for light-sweet crudes made Brent relatively expensive whilst local products demand has been weak
In Singapore, refining margins were supported by wide discounts for Dubai and relatively strong regional demand growth
In 2012, European margins remain weak due to falling domestic demand, USGC margins are supported by strong export demand and Singapore margins are buoyed by growing local demand

Utilisation in OECD Europe in 2009 was 6% lower than in 2008 due to falling demand. European utilisation fell again in 2011 as refiners struggled with the loss of Libyan crude supplies. We forecast only a slight recovery as some capacity is closed, but that is countered by weak demand growth and lower competitiveness due to carbon costs
The capacity at risk in Europe can be assessed as the amount of capacity required to close to return the utilisation to 2007 – 2008 levels.
• For 2011, the utilisation improvement is hence circa 8 percentage points (from the chart)
• The end 2010 OECD Europe refining capacity is 15.4 million bpd
• This indicative assessment is hence 1.2 million bpd, equivalent to approximately 8 average sized sites (but more if smaller than average sites are closed)
• However, 400kbd has been closed by the loss of Berre L’Etang, Cremona, Reichstett and Arpechim included in our 2010 figure.
• A further 800 kbd of capacity is hence required to be closed for utilisation rates to restore to historic levels
Which is clear to see when looking at refinery utilisation..

Broader issues cloud the market, with margins remaining under pressure and more closures likely
Iran crude sanctions in 2012
• European refiners will face increased competition for crude supplies, Urals will be relatively more expensive, negative for margins
ETS Phase III from 2013
• European refiners will face increased production costs making it more difficult to compete with imports from outside of the EU
Weak demand
• European product demand is forecast to fall in 2012 and 2013, increasing the amount of spare capacity in Europe
• Demand growth for gasoline in the US is minimal and competition from export refiners in Asia and the Middle East will increase
More closures likely
• The outlook for European refining margins remains bleak and further refinery capacity closures are necessary to maintain a sustainable level of margin for the medium term

1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 4th Quartile
Average preliminary 2011 NCM was -$1.20/bbl for the region, a quite significant drop from the 2010 average of just $0.39/bbl and resulted in a number of refinery closures in Europe over the course of the year and into 2012
On an international basis, most of the Russian refiners are located in the 4th quartile, handicapped by simple configurations, disadvantaged locations, and expensive rail transportation. This is not the case when domestic tariffs are included
African refiners are spread fairly evenly across the curve. Some reach the 1st quartile thanks to location or cost of crude acquisition advantages

Given our outlook, the changing fundamentals do not have uniform impact, so there are, of course, corporate winners and losers
The key attributes for “relative success” (i.e. 2012 is better than 2011) for Europeans are:
• Located in NWE rather than Med (due to threat of EU sanctions on Iran)
• Diesel focussed
• Light/sweet crude (to capture weakening of Brent market as Libyan production returns)
• Suggested companies (for which 2012 should significantly outperform 2011) include:
• Petroplus (if it continues to exist)
• Preem
• GALP
Repsol and Hellenic Petroleum will be impacted by the unfavourable environment in the Med but new upgrading capacity will provide upside to a certain extent. Tough year ahead for Eni, SARAS and ERG
As Russia diversifies crude export routes (BPS 2 expected in 2012) the Druzhba discount is likely to diminish. CEE ‘supersites’ margins might suffer.

Other factors detrimental to European refining
European refiners have lost share in the PADD I gasoline market. PADD III and other regions likely to remain more competitive in the future.
The change in the tax regime provided economic incentive for a large number of Russian refinery upgrades. This will reduce the supply of key intermediates feedstocks (VGO, AtRes) for deep conversion refineries in Europe

Conclusions
2011 was “annus horribilis” for the European refining industry. The situation was similar for US East Coast refiners (due to similar feedstock and configuration)
In the short term, we expect margins to recover, due to low stocks and capacity rationalisation
• Global recovery in margins is driven by strong Asian demand outlook
In the longer term, growth prospects in Europe and North America are poor compared to the developing economies such as Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa
European refining is projected to remain challenged as:
• Increasingly stringent legislation, such as ETS Phase III
• North American export refiners in the USGC will be advantaged by growing volumes of domestic tight oil supplies
There is a long term future for the European refining industry, given the sheer magnitude of oil product demand, however:
• Europe’s export potential is weakening, due to its self-imposed carbon legislation
• It is not in control of its destiny, as it is subject to developments in other regions
