How is crude oil related to other oils, like gasoline and heating oil?

Crude oil is what gets pumped out of the ground. Very little crude oil is consumed directly it is a raw material that has to be refined into other products, such as gasoline and heating oil

Other products that are derived from crude oil include: Jet fuel, diesel, residual fuel oil, naphtha, kerosene, lubricants, tar, asphalt, petrochemicals, fertilizers, and plastics

The difference between the price of a finished product, such as gasoline, and the price of crude oil is often referred to as the crack spread. A crack spread is a very simplistic representation of how much money a refiner makes by turning crude into products

A refinery netback is the crude price at which a refiner breaks even, given the value of the finished product slate minus other costs to the refiner such as transport costs, refinery fuel costs, etc.

A refinery margin is essentially the refiners profit i.e. the value of the product slate, minus the cost of crude inputs and other expenses

Is all crude oil the same?

There are many different grades of crude oil. All grades have different qualities, and sell for different prices based on their qualities

When we talk about light, sweet crude, we mean grades with a high API gravity number, and a low sulfur content. A heavy, sour crude has a low API gravity and a high sulfur content

In general, light/sweet crude tends to sell at a higher price than heavy/sour crude

In general, refiners can produce a higher yield of high quality refined products, such as gasoline, by running light/sweet crudes. Heavy/sour grades yield less gasoline, and more of the dirty products such as fuel oil Source: JPMorgan Energy Strategy

Who are the worlds top producers of crude oil?

The worlds biggest producers are not necessarily the same as the worlds biggest exporters. For example, the US and China produce a lot of oil, but export very little given high domestic demand

OPEC members Saudi Arabia and Iran are the worlds biggest exporters of crude oil

What is OPECs role

OPEC does not set prices. OPEC sets production quotas. Currently 10 of the cartels 11 members are subject to group quotas; Iraq is exempt. Saudi Arabia is by far the groups biggest and most influential member

What is OPECs ideal price?

Contrary to popular believe, it is not to OPECs advantage to target as high an oil price as possible. The cartel wants to maximize revenues, but needs consumers as much as consumers need OPEC oil. At very high oil prices, OPEC faces two risks:

1. High oil prices could reduce economic growth and oil demand growth

2. High oil prices could encourage higher-cost non-OPEC producers to make investments that would increase global oil supply, and reduce OPECs market share

Hurricanes hammer US Gulf refineries

Hurricane Impacts in PerspectiveHurricane Impacts in Perspective

Roughly a quarter of US refining capacity was offline at peak during last years unprecedented hurricane season. Much of the hurricane-affected capacity had normalized by early 2006 with a few major exceptions

As of May 3, 325,000 b/d, or 22%, of Gulf of Mexico oil production remains offline, according to MMS reporting

Changes to diesel specs: Lower sulfur limits to challenge supply chain

Changes to Diesel Sulfur LimitsChanges to Diesel Sulfur Limits The US diesel sulfur limit drops by 97% this year to 15 ppm

US refiners were required to meet the new standard by June 1; pipeline operators must meet the 15 ppm limit by Sept. 1; retailers must offer 15 ppm by Oct. 15

Dramatic changes to diesel standards underscore the challenge of not only making the fuel but also distributing it to customers. While US refiners have successfully ramped up ULSD production and inventories of the new spec have climbed steadily, there are still logistical challenges associated with the storage and transport of the cleaner fuel

Ultra-low sulfur diesel is so much cleaner than others in the distillate family (heating oil, jet, kerosene) that operators will be challenged in how they batch/order the fuels in the pipe. Test flows have shown that the sulfur in ULSD will have to be far lower/cleaner in order to deliver fuel at the government-set limit to consumers. Separate storage tanks will also be required for distribution of ULSD

Major US gasoline spec changes slated for 2006: lower sulfur content limit and the elimination of the oxygen content standard, which will impact MTBE use

While market concern, over the what is in effect an MTBE phase-out, has been dramatic, these worries are overdone. We are experiencing some hiccups along the supply chain during the present transition period, but these should work themselves out as the US has proven itself to be quite capable of blending components up to standard

Phasing out MTBE. . . phasing in ethanol

2005 US Energy Policy Act eliminated the national oxygen content standard in gasoline while not explicitly banning MTBE it effectively phases out the gasoline additive MTBE and phases in the use of renewable fuels

MTBE has been found to contaminate groundwater, opening up MTBE-makers up to lawsuits

Most of the industry are using ethanol because it replaces octane and clean-burning properties of MTBE and it is in compliance with renewable fuel standard

Because of ethanols affinity to water, it cannot be transported by pipeline after mixing with gasoline

Reformulated gasoline for oxygenate blending (RBOB) is blended with ethanol in the tank, after it has been transported separately by pipe

States such as New York and California have already successfully phased out MTBE in favor of ethanol

Change in the balance of energy market participation

At the end of the day, supply and demand determine price. Past 2 yeas had a good fundamentals story But if there has a been a paradigm shift in this market, it is a shift in the balance of participation

Up significantly Major inflow of money and interest in commodities as an asset class that really did not exist in a meaningful way 3 years ago

Buyers Institutionals enter the market almost exclusively from the long side via products like Commodities Indices and oil-linked notes

Passive Take long-term, generally directional views. Tend not to enter or exit positions on short-term price fluctuations

New Institutional investors have really only started to participate in the energy space in the past ~3 years

Institutional Investors

(Pension funds, mutual funds, retail investors)

Up Generally more dollars in energy, but also more sophisticated and varied involvement in full range of energy products

Buyers or Sellers Depending on view of the market. On average in recent years, hedge funds more long than short given price trend.Funds may participate in any part of the curve and have shown particular interest in owning deferred price and volatility, adding liquidity and price clarity to that part of the curve

Active Take proprietary risk daily. May have long or short term views, and take directional or relative value positions in the full range of energy products

Old and New Not new to energy per se but more professional and putting more money towards this space in the last ~3 years

Macro Hedge Funds

No significant changeBuyers or Sellers Depending on market trend

Active Fast moving, directional, tend to enter and exit positions quickly

Old CTAs have traded energy for years

Trend Players

(Commodity Trading Advisors)

No significant change, though interest has arguably increased with price

Buyers or Sellers Depending on customer business and view of the market. Depending on customer business, banks may make markets as far as 10+ years into the future

Active Trade daily making markets (flow and structured business) and/or taking risk (proprietary trading). May have long or short term prop views

Old Although the mix of banks in energy changes, banks have been market-makers and risk takers in energy since the inception of these markets

Financial institutions

(Banks)

Up If anything consumers have hedged more actively as prices have risen, though options rather than swaps have been the preferred vehicle for upside protection with downside participation

Buyers The natural buyers in the energy markets. Consumers typically hedge 1-3 years into the future, but increasingly more sophisticated hedgers may go out as far as 5-7 years in products with sufficient liquidity

Active May trade anywhere from daily to annually depending on hedging program

Old Energy consumers have been actively hedging with derivatives since the early-1990s

Energy Consumers

(Utilities, airlines, railroads, industrials)

Down Significantly less day-to-day tactical hedging at high prices. Remaining deals large, occasional, one-off M&A related strategic hedges. Options strategies generally preferred over swaps, for downside protection with upside exposure

Sellers The natural sellers in the energy markets. Producers typically hedge 2-3 years out but can now find sufficient liquidity to hedge as much as 7 years out

Active May trade anywhere from daily to annually depending on hedging program

Old Energy producers have been actively hedging with derivatives since the early-1990sEnergy Producers

Medium-term drivers of oil price have not gone away yet

Key fundamental drivers have supported oil prices in recent years that are still with us today

For the past several years, we have seen a refined products-led market. In other words, as much as crude oil prices have increased, prices for refined products such as gasoline and diesel have gone up even more

This had been in large part a demand story. Demand growth has been strong particularly in 2004, and particularly in the US and non-OECD Asia. Importantly, demand growth is disproportionately for light-end products, notably diesel, which is a type of distillate

The oil industry cycles through periods of over- and under-investment. Refining and distribution (e.g. pipelines, tankers, terminals) are particularly pronounced examples of how years of under-investment due to poor margins can lead to capacity constraints down the road

While under-investment in refining and distribution is not a permanent market feature, it is also not a driver that can be reversed overnight. We see tight downstream capacity influencing price until at least 200708, unless demand growth falters significantly

Downstream investment, or lack thereof, is cyclical and tends to over-shoot in both directions

Theres no reason to think that this investment cycle wont eventually be the same

OECD demand exceeds OECD refinery capacity. That means that, increasingly, spare refinery capacity is in the non-OECD. That means that just like crude production most of the worlds refined products production is geographically far away from most of the worlds consumption

How is gas different from oil?

Natural gas is a regional commodity, whereas oil is a global commodity

In other words, oil is fungible in a way that gas is not

Why? The physical properties of natural gas make it harder to transport, particularly inter-continentally. Most natural gas is transported in gaseous form via pipeline. This means that the US gas market is effectively a closed system

For this reason, regional gas markets are unrelated. For example, the UK gas market has no relationship to the US gas market. In fact, European natural gas is priced using an oil-referenced formula

The widespread adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) when and if it happens will change the gas market from a regional market to a global market. In other words, the development of LNG will make the gas market look more like the oil market

The US natural gas market

Natural gas is transported in the U.S. through pipelines to different locations called Hubs

Hubs are market places where the physical commodity can be bought and sold. Different market places have different prices due to different supply and demand factors

Henry Hub is the most liquid physical natural gas market, because Henry Hub is where futures contracts are settled for the physical commodity. It is the market which is most closely represented by the NYMEX futures curve

Producers and consumers of natural gas have incentives to not only hedge their physical commodity exposure using futures contracts, but also to hedge the location (basis) risk associated with dealing in different markets across United States, Canada and Mexico

The basis market provides this added hedging ability

In the basis market hub locations trade at a differential to NYMEX futures contracts on a forward basis

Hence leading to the ability to buy the NYMEX +/ the appropriate basis differential forward to hedge a future sale of the physical commodity

Some of the most frequently quoted basis markets are: the Rocky Mountain region, the Houston Ship Channel Hub, AECO (Canada), and the Panhandle Hub

Natural gas: How is it measured?

In the United States, natural gas derives its value from its British thermal unit (Btu) content, or heating capability

British thermal unit: a unit of heat equal to about 252 calories; quantity of heat required to rise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit

Volumetrically natural gas is measured in cubic feet (cf) on a 24-hour flowing basis, and consequently a standard conversion was adopted whereby 1 cf = 1,000 Btus, which allows for natural gas to be bought and sold in terms of its Btu value

Useful gas conversions:Useful gas conversions:

1 MMbtu = 1 million Btus

1 Mcf 1 MMBtu, depending upon the purity of the gas 1 MMcf = 1,000 MMBtu

10 MMcf = 10,000 MMBtu = 1 NYMEX contract

1 Bcf = 1 billion cubic feet = 1,000,000 MMBtu

1 Tcf = 1 trillion cubic feet

Major market drivers

Weather is both a demand and supply factor

Summer storage injection season (AprilOctober) is influenced by cooling demand

Winter storage withdrawal season (NovemberMarch) is influenced by heating demand

Shoulder Months (March, April, May and September, October, November) are less weather sensitive

But hurricane disruptions most typically in the late-summer to fall can affect the supply side of the balance

Drought conditions in areas that depend on hydropower for electricity generation can also boost gas demand

Oil price is also a driver of gas price, because there is some degree of substitutability between the two fuels

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a minor factor in the gas market now, but will become increasingly important as the market develops. LNG will make the gas market more global

The US needs LNG to meet growing gas demand

The long-term gas price will depend heavily on LNG to fill the growing disconnect between demand from residential, commercial, industrial and power generation consumers and North American sources of supply

The declining domestic production scenario makes LNG vital to satisfying projected US demand growth. . . or price will have to ration demand

Sustainable Capacity

Right now, LNG supply is the limiting factor for the US, not spare terminal capacity. LNG imports to the US should ramp up from late 2007 when new supplies from Trinidad and the Middle East come online contracted to meet US demand, likely to pressure US gas prices
