Slow Days In The Oil Patch -- September 19, 2018

API weekly crude oil inventories. We'll start with two movies.

• the movie I saw

• price of oil did not move yesterday after the data was released
• the gasoline "story" is driving price of oil; not Libya, not Venezuela, not Iran; not China trade war
• US crude oil inventories unexpectedly declined by 1.25 million bbls
• • the build was a yawner, up 1 million bbls following a week when there was an unprecedented (?) draw of over 8 million bbls
• gasoline inventories decreased by 1.5 million bbls vs an expected draw of 104,000 bbls

• the movie oilprice.com saw:

• headline: "oil prices up despite massive crude oil build"
• "mammoth build of 1.25 million bbls"
• analyst (singular) expectations: a draw of 2.741 million bbls (2,741,000 bbls -- that false precision is stunning - estimated to the nearest thousand bbls -- wow; now I know we're counting the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin)
• gasoline inventories: a draw of 1.485 million bbls (again, the false precision); vs analysts (plural) prediction of a small draw of 104,000 bbls
• 1.485 is greater than 1.25 so if "1.25 million is mammoth", then "1.485 must be humongous"
• "oil prices were up in afternoon trade by around 1/2% compared to last week's prices
• the writer did not note that comparing the price of oil immediately before and after the API data was released: no change

RBN Energy: Hurricane Harvey and the importance of Gulf Coast refined product infrastructure.

It’s been more than a year since Hurricane Harvey dumped 50 inches of rain on Houston and its environs, but memories from those fateful days remain remarkably fresh. Harvey is not only unforgettable, it put a spotlight on just how important Texas refineries — and the refined-products pipeline infrastructure connected to them — are to the rest of the U.S.

For several days, more than half of the Gulf Coast’s refining capacity was offline. Major pipelines transporting gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to the East Coast and the Midwest shut down too. But how do Harvey’s impacts on refining and refined products markets compare with the effects of other major hurricanes this century? Today, we conclude our series on Gulf Coast refining and pipeline infrastructure, and how a natural disaster along the coast can impact the rest of the country.

When one refinery along the U.S. Gulf Coast goes offline, as each does occasionally during a maintenance “turnaround,” the outage typically follows months of planning and supply-chain or storage adjustments designed to ensure supply agreements can be met and disruptions to fuel availability is averted. If the turnaround takes longer than expected, other refineries with processing availability can pick up the slack until the outage is over or imports increase. However, when large swaths of the refining infrastructure shut down in a short time as a result of a hurricane, the impacts can be far-reaching since stock levels may not be sufficient to offset the extended outage. Hurricane Harvey, which hit the epicenter of the Gulf Coast refining sector, serves as a prime example.
