SEPTEMBER 15, 2021
Crude settles higher on tighter US crude stocks, improved demand outlooks Draw largely result of lingering US Gulf of Mexico production outages following Hurricane Ida. Canadian Pacific Railway, Kansas City Southern reach $27.2 billion deal after long bidding war OIL FUTURES: Crude price rally extends on larger-than-expected US inventory draw An overnight crude price rally extended in midmorning trading Sept. 14 on the back of a larger-than-expected draw down in US crude inventories. US DATA: ULSD production falls to six-month low at 4.03 mil b/d Ultra low sulfur diesel production for all of the US fell 5,000 b/d to 4.03 million b/d during the week ended Sept. 10, US Energy Information Administration data released Sept. 15 showed. This was the third consecutive week that ULSD production had fallen and the levels were the weakest they have been since the week ended March 12, when they stood at 4.00 million b/d, EIA data showed. Brazil's refined product sales to climb 3.3% to 136.2 mil liters in 2021: EPE Brazilian fuel distributors' sales of refined products in 2021 are expected to increase 3.3% year on year to 136.2 million liters, as Latin America's largest economy bounces back from coronavirus, the state-owned Energy Research Office, or EPE, said in a report Sept. 15. Some oil-fired units in Japan might be restarted amid rising LNG, coal prices: PAJ chief Japan may see some restarts of oil-fired power generation units this winter, amid soaring LNG and coal prices, Petroleum Association of Japan President Tsutomu Sugimori said Sept. 15, as refiners carry out contingency planning in response to the tightened power supply and demand balance over the past season. Colonial Pipeline restoring full operations after Hurricane Nicholas Colonial Pipeline said it resumed refinery products flows on Line 2 early on Sept. 15, restoring the major fuel artery to normal operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Nicholas' South Texas landfall. Japan refiners expect winter crude procurement to be similar to last year Japanese refiners expect a similar level of crude oil procurement this winter as last, and have started adjusting imports to be able to stockpile kerosene for heating demand, Petroleum Association of Japan President Tsutomu Sugimori said Sept. 15. CHINA DATA: August crude throughput falls to 15-month low at 13.8 million b/d China's crude throughput fell 2.2% on the year to 13.8 million b/d, or 58.35 million mt, in August amid high product stocks -- a 15-month low -- data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Sept. 15. INTERVIEW: International Seaways CEO sees two-speed tanker recovery Short-term demand recovery for the tanker market will rely on buying appetite for oil in emerging economies and on their successful vaccine rollouts, International Seaways CEO Lois Zabrocky told S&P Global Platts. NWE 50 ppm gasoil value at five-week low on lack of demand The Northwest European 50 ppm gasoil barge market has fallen to a five-week low in the absence of demand for heating oil and with buyers having little incentive to build stocks at current flat prices, sources said. BP to collaborate on shipping, industrial fuels with Japan's NYK Line BP is to collaborate on fuels and transportation solutions in the shipping and industrial sector with Japanese shipping and logistics company NYK Line. FUJAIRAH DATA: August bunker sales rise 2.5% on month, miss estimates Bunker sales in August at the UAE's Port of Fujairah, the world's third largest bunkering hub, rose 2.5% on the month to over 700,000 cu m for the first time in 2021, according to Sept. 15 data from the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone provided exclusively to S&P Global Platts. But the sales still missed estimates, partly because a ship attack off the port in August temporarily disrupted traffic, traders said. Shandong independent refineries' throughput dips on strict environmental checks China's independent refineries in the eastern Shandong province have cut crude throughputs in recent weeks on the back of strict investigations launched by the environmental protection bureau. Dated Brent differential slumps amid competition, building length The Dated Brent differential has come under significant pressure through September so far amid competition from light sweet crudes across Europe and the resulting length building in the market. South Korean ports suspend bunkering operations ahead of Typhoon Chanthu: sources Bunkering operations at South Korea's southern ports of Busan, Ulsan and Yeosu have been partially suspended ahead of Typhoon Chanthu, market sources told S&P Global Platts Sept. 15. Asian gasoil markets eye sustained growth in Q4 on tight supply, demand recovery Asian gasoil markets are on the cusp of change and poised to see sustained growth in the fourth quarter as rising vaccination rates boost demand -- just as a reduction in regional output and an open East-West arbitrage reduce supply. FUJAIRAH DATA: Oil stocks tumble to three-year low with all categories down Oil product stockpiles at the UAE's Port of Fujairah have declined to a three-year low, with all categories showing dwindling supplies. OIL FUTURES: Crude climbs on high US inventory draws, continued US Gulf disruptions 0640 GMT: Crude oil futures edged up during midafternoon trade in Asia Sept. 15 on higher-than-expected US crude draws and capped supply in the storm-swept US Gulf Coast. JAPAN DATA: Refinery run rates slip to 76.5% Sept. 5-11 on weak product demand Japan's refinery run rates slipped to 76.5% over Sept. 5-11, from 78% between Aug. 29-Sept. 4, as refiners cut crude throughput by 1.8% week on week to 2.65 million b/d, data from the Petroleum Association of Japan showed Sept. 15. TANKERS: US Gulf Coast dirty tanker markets see queries after Nicholas silence US Gulf Coast Aframax charterer inquiry picked up Sept. 14, within a day after Hurricane Nicholas made landfall on the Texas coast, as queries emerged regarding replacement ships, after a muted start to the week. India's BPCL plans no fuel oil exports for Sep even with desulfurizer turnaround State-owned Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd. plans no exports of high sulfur fuel oil and low sulfur fuel oil for September due to firm domestic demand from industries, even though maintenance at a diesel hydro desulfurizer unit could raise fuel oil production, company sources said Sept. 15. Pakistan may import fuel oil after years as LNG prices on fire Pakistan is likely to import fuel oil after a gap of three years as the country looks to cushion the shock from surging LNG prices at a time domestic appetite for fuels from the industrial sector is growing fast due to improving economic growth prospects, sources and analysts said. VLGC dry dockings through Q4 to soften downward impact of newbuilds on freight rates Dry docking activities of very large gas carriers are expected to last through Q4 2021 that could soften the downward trend of freight rates impacted by newbuilds, shipping sources said.
