Norwegian company Aker Clean Hydrogen boosts project portfolio to 2 GW Norwegian company Aker Clean Hydrogen has increased its portfolio of projects to 2 GW Ukraine to meet demand for oil products if Belarus shuts supplies Ukraine's largest oil refinery UkrTatNafta said it was ready to increase production of gasoline and diesel fuel in the event of Belarus shutting supplies of oil products to the country. US Congress needs to 'start doing something' for clean hydrogen: Manchin Democratic Senator Joe Manchin signaled strong support for clean hydrogen tax credits during a Feb. 10 committee hearing Crude rallies over $4/b as US warns of possible Russian invasion of Ukraine soon Sharp rise in crude oil futures as US warns of possible Russian invasion of Ukraine in near future Global refinery runs increase lags behind demand growth: IEA Despite the "major ramp-up" in global refinery activity in the last quarter of 2021, product inventories continued to decline, the IEA said, noting that the start of seasonal maintenance "from February onwards" will add further pressure to balances. OIL FUTURES: Crude firm after IEA highlights tight stocks The IEA, in its monthly oil market report, said the supply shortfall could deepen if OPEC+ continued to struggle to raise output. REFINERY NEWS: South Africa's Sapref to halt operations "indefinitely" by end March Sapref, South Africa's largest refinery, will halt operations no later than the end of March, its two shareholders said in a statement. REFINERY NEWS: Rosneft's 2021 throughput at Russian refineries up 2.3% on year Russia's Rosneft said that throughput at its Russian refineries in 2021 rose 2.3% on the year to 95.1 million mt. In Q4, they processed 23.4 million mt, up 1.6% on the year ARA fuel oil stocks down 10.18% on week at 1.094 mil mt: Insights Global Fuel oil stocks in the region represented 21.98% of total refined oil product stocks in the region, which is lower than last week's percentage share at 24.3%. BUNKERWORLD INDEX: Supply limits support bunker prices amid wobble in crude markets Limited blendstock decreases availability of VLSFO at Fujairah Tightness across all grades at Rotterdam likely to persist High freight, resupply costs limit VLSFO availability at Panama Oil market could shift into surplus in 2022, but only 'small cushion': IEA* In its monthly oil market report, the IEA trimmed it demand growth forecast for 2022 to 3.23 million b/d but still expected demand to exceed pre-pandemic levels, averaging 100.58 million b/d. Crude shipments to Russia's Tuapse resume, loadings halted at Novorossiisk The Tuapse refinery halted crude offtake on Feb. 8 after limiting it at the start of this week as the nearby Black Sea port of Tuapse was closed due to a storm, Transneft said previously. SINGAPORE DATA: Residue stocks fall for second week as fuel oil exports rise The decline came on the back of a jump in fuel oil exports, and a slight dip in imports over the same period. Rise in Feb premiums for Singapore ex-wharf 380 CST HSFO capped by stock build The increase was capped by HSFO stocks rising in early February after a slight shortage of cutter stocks with 2.7% sulfur content for the blending pool had limited supply of readily available cargoes for prompt delivery in January, traders said. Fujairah delivered marine fuel 0.5%S premium at 11-month high on lower stocks, limited barges The Middle Eastern bunker hub of Fujairah faces tightening supply of the readily available International Maritime Organization-compliant bunker fuel grade due to a shortage of components for the LSFO blending pool, according to local bunker suppliers. Singapore VLSFO-HSFO spread hits two-year high amid tight 0.5%S MF supply The persistently steep backwardation has also served to discourage additional incremental arbitrage volumes shipped to Singapore, traders have said.
