Petroleum Weekly Highlights for this week:

Key stocks: Crude +0.3 mmbbl, gasoline -5.2 mmbbl, distillate -1.1 mmbbl. Cushing stocks +0.4 mmbbl. Refinery capacity utilization was down 4.1% to 80.9% Our projections for next week: Crude +2.0 mmbbl, gasoline -3.1 mmbbl, and distillate stocks -1.5 mmbbl. Refinery capacity utilization unchanged week-over-week This week’s statistics were quite bullish, headlined by a precipitous 4.1% decline in refining runs. Two weeks ago we said: “the current level of margins (roughly expressed by the NYMEX 3-2-1 crack) is pointing to runs falling to a ~6-9% deficit to the 5-year average (omitting hurricane effects).” The drop has finally materialized. The 80.9% figure for US refinery capacity utilization is the second lowest tick in the last five years (when ignoring hurricanes). The lowest point of 80.3% was set this April amidst a rash of delayed refinery turnarounds. Margins are suggesting that runs fall further and challenge this figure. However, even if runs don’t fall, and remain near these levels, then products and cracks will still be supported. Runs should subsequently increase, and the cycle should perpetuate

The long awaited drop in runs has finally happened -2%

Gasoline statistics continue to whipsaw, drawing 5.2 mmbbl this week on a 3.6% decline in yield and a ~0.3 mmbbl/d fall in imports. Demand also remains resilient, which coupled with low runs, points to continued draws in the coming weeks

ƒ

This week perhaps marks a turning point in distillate, with the operative word being perhaps. Demand has firmed in recent weeks and imports remain low, but yield has also marginally increased. Distillate stocks would not have drawn if it were not for the large drop in runs, and if we see any meaningful uptick in runs or yield, or a blip in demand, then stocks will resume building. However, the key factor remains demand, which we believe will hold firm and thus lead to modest draws in the coming weeks
