In a first, gas and other fuels are top US export
Big shift for gas-guzzling nation: fuels are top US export; oil imports still world's highest
By Chris Kahn, AP Energy Writer | AP – 2 hours 23 minutes ago.. .
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/first-gas-other-fuels-top-200739135.html
NEW YORK (AP) -- For the first time, the top export of the United States, the world's biggest gas guzzler, is — wait for it — fuel.
Measured in dollars, the nation is on pace this year to ship more gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel than any other single export, according to U.S. Census data going back to 1990. It will also be the first year in more than 60 that America has been a net exporter of these fuels.
Just how big of a shift is this? A decade ago, fuel wasn't even among the top 25 exports. And for the last five years, America's top export was aircraft.
The trend is significant because for decades the U.S. has relied on huge imports of fuel from Europe in order to meet demand. It only reinforced the image of America as an energy hog. And up until a few years ago, whenever gasoline prices climbed, there were complaints in Congress that U.S. refiners were not growing quickly enough to satisfy domestic demand; that controversy would appear to be over.
Still, the U.S. is nowhere close to energy independence. America is still the world's largest importer of crude oil. From January to October, the country imported 2.7 billion barrels of oil worth roughly $280 billion.
Fuel exports, worth an estimated $88 billion in 2011, have surged for two reasons:
— Crude oil, the raw material from which gasoline and other refined products are made, is a lot more expensive. Oil prices averaged $95 a barrel in 2011, while gasoline averaged $3.52 a gallon — a record. A decade ago oil averaged $26 a barrel, while gasoline averaged $1.44 a gallon.
— The volume of fuel exports is rising. The U.S. is using less fuel because of a weak economy and more efficient cars and trucks. That allows refiners to sell more fuel to rapidly growing economies in Latin America, for example. In 2011, U.S. refiners exported 117 million gallons per day of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other petroleum products, up from 40 million gallons per day a decade earlier.
There's at least one domestic downside to America's growing role as a fuel exporter. Experts say the trend helps explain why U.S. motorists are paying more for gasoline. The more fuel that's sent overseas, the less of a supply cushion there is at home.
Gasoline supplies are being exported to the highest bidder, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. "It's a world market," he says.
Refining companies won't say how much they make by selling fuel overseas. But analysts say those sales are likely generating higher profits per gallon than they would have generated in the U.S. Otherwise, they wouldn't occur.
The value of U.S. fuel exports has grown steadily over the past decade, coinciding with rising oil prices and increased demand around the globe.
Developing countries in Latin America and Asia have been burning more gasoline and diesel as their people buy more cars and build more roads and factories. Europe also has been buying more U.S. fuel to make up for its lack of refineries.
And there's a simple reason why America's refiners have been eager to export to these markets: gasoline demand in the U.S. has been falling every year since 2007. It dropped by another 2.5 percent in 2011. With the economy struggling, motorists cut back. Also, cars and trucks have become more fuel-efficient and the government mandates the use of more corn-based ethanol fuel.
The last time the U.S. was a net exporter of fuels was 1949, when Harry Truman was president. That year, the U.S. exported 86 million barrels and imported 82 million barrels. In the first ten months of 2011, the nation exported 848 million barrels (worth $73.4 billion) and imported 750 million barrels.

>>> Western Refining Announces Sale of Assets for $220 Million
Sale Includes Yorktown Idled Refinery and Terminal and Segment of New Mexico Crude Pipeline
Press Release: Western Refining, Inc.
Thu, Dec 1, 2011 7:00 AM
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Western-Refining-Announces-pz-2880939338.html?x=0
EL PASO, Texas, Dec. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western Refining, Inc. (NYSE:WNR - News) today announced that it has entered into agreements with Plains Marketing, L.P. and Plains Pipeline, L.P., both subsidiaries of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., for the divestiture of its Yorktown, Virginia facilities and an underutilized segment of its crude oil pipeline in southeast New Mexico for $220 million.
The companies executed asset purchase agreements under which Western will sell substantially all of its Yorktown assets, including both the terminal and idled refinery, in addition to an 82 mile segment of a 424 mile crude oil pipeline in New Mexico to Plains. Western will retain its East Coast wholesale business and continue to market products in the Mid-Atlantic region. The sale of the Yorktown assets and the New Mexico pipeline segment are contingent upon concurrent closings, both of which are subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011. Western expects to record a non-cash loss on disposition of these assets of $440 to $460 million in the fourth quarter.
Jeff Stevens, Western's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with these transactions as they allow Western to monetize the Yorktown assets and exit the volatile East Coast refining market. Continued extreme volatility of refining economics on the East Coast has significantly reduced the probability of restarting refining operations at Yorktown. This transaction precludes such a restart but allows us to maximize the value of the terminal assets. Additionally, these actions enable us to continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet by further reducing our debt."

Location, Location, Location: The Rules Of Oil Refining And Who's Benefiting
http://seekingalpha.com/article/309923-location-location-location-the-rules-of-oil-refining-and-who-s-benefiting
7 comments | by: James Shell November 23, 2011 | includes: COP, CVX, HFC, MPC, TLLP, TSO, VLO, WNR
At the request of one of my followers, I've done a little work to try to put some numbers on the supply and logistic situations that have been going on in Oil Refining for the past few months. This is useful to try to understand why differences in feedstock costs and access to certain markets allows some of these independent refiners to prosper in niche situations.
Here is a table of spot prices for various crude oil grades:
$/Barrel
West Texas Intermediate 97
Light Louisiana Sweet 109
Gulf Coast Sour 105
Brent 108
Alaska North Slope 112
Syncrude 102
Arabian Extra Light 107
This link to Chevron (CVX) is also quite useful in understanding the price differentials for various crude oil prices which are driven by their suitability for refining.
Next, here are some of the wholesale gasoline prices around the country. I have derived most of this data from Gasbuddy.com.
Retail Price Local Tax Fed Tax Distribution Est. Whol Price $/bbl
Los Angeles 3.75 0.405 0.184 0.05 3.11 131
Denver 3.35 0.205 0.184 0.05 2.91 122
Chicago 3.50 0.506 0.184 0.05 2.76 116
Phoenix 3.35 0.200 0.184 0.05 2.92 122
Houston 3.00 0.200 0.184 0.05 2.57 108
Seattle 3.70 0.375 0.184 0.05 3.09 130
Atlanta 3.20 0.292 0.184 0.05 2.67 112
New York 3.70 0.319 0.184 0.05 3.15 132
The wholesale unleaded gas crack spread is just the selling price of gasoline, dollars per barrel, minus the crude oil price. That is the spread between feedstock costs and wholesale selling price for the product. Note that this does not include conversion cost, the cost to turn the oil into gasoline, nor does it include any transportation costs or other expenses associated with the activity.
Based on this, we can derive a little table of feedstock cost versus crack spread:
Estimated Fuel Price/$/bbl (wholesale)
Los Angeles Denver Chicago Phoenix Houston Seattle Atlanta New York
Crude Oil/Price 130.66 122.3 115.9 122.5 108 130 112 132
West Texas Intermediate 97 33 25 18 25 10 32 15 35
Light Louisiana Sweet 109 21 13 6 13 -2 20 3 23
Gulf Coast Sour 105 26 17 11 17 3 25 7 27
Brent 108 23 14 8 15 0 22 4 24
Alaska North Slope 112 19 10 4 10 -4 18 0 20
Syncrude 102 28 20 13 20 5 27 10 30
Arabian Extra Light 107 24 15 9 15 1 23 5 25
Example: A refiner in Los Angeles, selling to the local market can have a crack spread of $19 per barrel (minus transportation costs) using North Slope oil, but can improve to $33 per barrel if he can magically get West Texas Intermediate to appear at the back door without additional cost.
Interestingly, Houston appears to be the least profitable place in the country to make gasoline, which is probably correct if one considers that there are so many refineries in the area, and all of the major integrated oil companies, that do not necessarily pay the spot price for feedstock are participants in the market, and so the preferred strategy in that case would be to pay the transportation cost and put the product into the pipeline system and sell it in places like New York, rather than locally or alternately, use lower cost heavier feedstock than those listed here.
We can look at a sampling of specific cases, as laid out for us in the recent quarterly reports:
Company Refinery Market Crude Oil Source Conv Cost Gross Marg/bbl Comments
Holly Frontier (HFC) Cheyenne Denver Canada/Bakken 6.25 $ 26.5 49% Sweet
Holly Frontier El Dorado Denver/KC Texas/Canada 4.23 $ 22.1 75% Sweet
Western Refining (WNR) El Paso Phoenix West Texas 5.41 $ 20.0 82% Sweet
Tesoro Los Angeles Los Angeles California/Foreign 6.51 $ 14.9 20% Light
Tesoro (TSO) Anacortes West Coast Alaska 3.32 $ 15.0 80% Light
Marathon (MPC) Robinson IL Chicago Various NA $ 13.2 Varies
The favorite example of a logistical advantage is Western Refining (WNR), which has refineries in El Paso, and near Gallup, N.M., and is using "landlocked" local feedstocks from West Texas, and selling the finished products into the Phoenix area.
The gross crack spread using WTI and the Phoenix marketing area is around $25, and if the processing costs are subtracted, which for them is about $5.41, minus a little more for transportation, that company's reported gross margin of $20 is in the ballpark. Keep in mind also that these gross margins also include the 40% or so of the output of the refinery that is diesel, heating oil or other distillates, and for a thorough analysis one should include that in the calculation.
Also, per the above chart, the heavier and more sour the feedstock is, the more expensive it is to process.
Transportation is a significant problem, and most of these companies are engaging in some kind of pipeline or logistics business, and a little industry has developed to take advantage of the WTI pricing differential situation. One interesting one of these is Tesoro Logistics, which is involved in a system to deliver crude oil from the Bakken in North Dakota, to Anacortes, WA. This presentation (pdf) from Marathon Petroleum (MPC) talks a little about transportation economics: To transport Syncrude from Alberta, to the middle of the US, costs somewhere on the order of $5 to $7 per barrel depending on the route, so they are working on the logistics and converting the refinery to Detroit, to more economically process this feedstock.
While converting crude oil into gasoline is an important skill, what we as investors are really interested in is how good these companies are in turning crude oil into money. One of the factors on this is the method of financing:
Interest Exp MRQ Throughput BPD Interest Exp $/Barrel
Delek US (DK) $ 16,400,000 59,812 3.05
Western Refining (WNR) $ 33,195,000 149,556 2.47
Holly/Frontier (HFC) $ 25,074,000 435,110 0.64
Tesoro (TSO) $ 38,000,000 609,000 0.69
Marathon Petroleum (MPC) $ 15,000,000 1,368,000 0.12
Valero (VLO) $ 88,000,000 2,317,000 0.42
This table is the interest expense reported on last quarter's 10K for each of the companies, per unit of throughput. I have also thrown in a couple of the other companies in this group for comparison. The Western Refining and Delek US high rates of financing have significant effects on the bottom line that are not included in the above favorable gross margins.
The Delek US case is interesting. It is operating a refinery in El Dorado OK, which uses "sour" Oklahoma feedstock, which can be an additional $5-$10 less expensive than WTI, and selling the finished products into West Texas, where the prices are more like they are in Phoenix, per the above chart. The conversion cost is a little more than $5, and the El Dorado refiinery has a gross margin of $14.33, which is pretty comparable to the bigger participants in this group. The gross margin of the refinery in Tyler, Texas, is in the mid $20s per barrel range.
One final chart: Here is the ability of each of these companies to make money, based on Earnings Available to Shareholders per unit of throughput:
Company Throughput BPD Earnings MRQ Earnings per Barrel
Western Refining (WNR) 149,556 84,928,000 6.31
Holly Frontier (HFC) 435,110 523,088,000 13.36
Tesoro (TSO) 609,000 352,000,000 6.42
Marathon (MPC) 1,368,000 1,133,000,000 9.20
Valero (VLO) 2,317,000 1,203,000,000 5.77
Delek US (DK) 142,129 92,500,000 7.23
I have omitted two companies, Sunoco (SUN), which took a big writeoff for discontinued operations in the last quarter, like all of these companies do from time to time, and my favorite Calumet Specialty Products Partners (CLMT), which had an unrealized hedging loss on its last quarterly report that affected its bottom line, as that company frequently does.
So what are we to make of all of this?
First of all, it is quite true that location is an important factor in this industry, and right now, being favorably located to take advantage of lower feedstock prices has been helpful to a couple of these companies.
However, it is not the total picture. The conversion costs, which are driven by feedstock quality and the financing costs, can also affect how much money goes to the bottom line. HollyFrontier Corp. did a particularly good job of this in the last quarter. Marathon Petroleum, despite not having any particular advantage on logistics but running an efficient, flexible operation with little debt is second most on this list.
The world is chaotic, and there are no guarantees on anything. This is particularly true as it applies to the WTI price relative to the rest of the feedstocks. We will check back in a quarter and see who the winners were.
Disclosure: I am long CLMT.
