菲利普斯66炼厂三季度开工率将在90%左右
据世界石油网7月29日休斯顿报道,菲利普斯66周五表示,该公司计划在第三季度把其旗下的11家炼油厂的217万桶日加工量控制在90%左右。
菲利普斯66拥有9个具有日加工167万桶原油能力的全资炼油厂以及两家与Cenovus能源公司共同拥有的具有日加工50.2万桶原油能力的炼油厂。
菲利普斯66负责投资者关系的副总裁杰弗里·迪特日前在与华尔街分析师讨论第二季度业绩的电话会议上说:“在明年1月1日过渡到低含硫量船用燃料已经正在影响成品油市场,但它将如何塑造明年初馏分油和汽油供应仍不清楚。”
迪特表示:“我们预计油罐的转换将在9月左右完成,货主预计将在第4季度购买符合标准的船用燃料。我认为,一些早期迹象表明,与布伦特原油相比,符合标准的船用燃料价格为每桶12至15美元。这个市场没有太多的流动性。确定这个价格现在还早。”
联合国下属的国际海事组织规定,从2020年1月1日起,船用燃料油的硫含量将从目前的3.5%降至0.5%。

Phillips 66 refineries to run in mid-90% range in Q3 2019
Phillips 66 plans to run the 11 refineries it operates in the mid-90% range of their combined 2.17 million barrel per day (bpd) capacity in the third quarter, the company said on Friday.
The company operates nine wholly-owned refineries with a combined capacity of 1.67 million bpd and two refineries co-owned with Cenovus Energy with a combined capacity of 502,000 bpd.
The transition to low-sulfur marine fuel on Jan. 1 is already affecting refined products markets but how exactly it will shape distillate and gasoline supply early next year remains unclear, Jeffrey Dietert, vice president of investor relations, said during a conference call with Wall Street analysts to discuss second-quarter results.
"We're expecting conversion of tanks in the September-ish time frame and expect shippers to be buying compliant fuels in the fourth quarter," Dietert said. "I think there are some early indications of compliant marine fuels trading at $12 to $15 a barrel over Brent. There's not a lot of liquidity in that market. It's still early."
The International Maritime Organization, a United Nations affiliate, mandated that marine fuel oil would have a sulfur contract of 0.5% beginning on Jan. 1, 2020, down from the current 3.5%.
