platts European Gasoline daily Market analysis�� European refineries cap run rates amid weak demand

outlook�� Buying demand in August remains weak for Med gaso-

line market

Poor refining margins continued to prevent some refiners from ramping up production at facilities in Europe, as the recovery in demand faltered amid a rise in coronavirus cases in some European countries.

“I don’t see any support for the Mediterranean gasoline market, margins are still awful,” a trader said, adding that the only export demand supporting the Med region could be to Northwest Europe, for the right grades.

Spanish company Cepsa said July 30 it would see its refineries in Spain operate with 85% run rates during July, while gradually increasing this toward the end of the year if demand rose. The company’s refineries were running at 82% during June.

Another Spanish company, Repsol, said its refineries would have a utilization rate of 77% for 2020, slightly higher than the 78% seen during the first half of the year.

In the shipping market, the lackluster buying sentiment for excess Northwest European gasoline had eroded

support for freight rates out of the region. The S&P Global Platts UK Continent-West Africa clean tanker route was assessed at Worldscale 120 July 31, with a vessel heard put on subjects from the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub to WAF for as low as w60 July 30. A flattening contango structure in both the NWE and Med gasoline market does not favor floating storage interest for shippers.

In the European gasoline paper market, the September Eurobob crack was assessed at $1.15/b. The August/September spread was assessed at a $3.75/mt contango, while the September/October spread was in a $11.50/mt backwardation.

Meanwhile, the August Med/North gasoline differential – the spread between the August FOB Mediterranean 10ppm

platts European naphtha daily Market analysis�� Naphtha sees uptick on crude rise�� Demand remains challenged

The European naphtha market saw some support at the beginning of the week Aug. 3 in terms of outright prices, but as demand was not strengthening fundamentals remained a challenge.

Naphtha CIF NWE was assessed at $360.50/mt, up $10.25/mt on July 31, largely tracking more positive sentiment in the crude oil complex.

However, demand in the European market appeared to be weakening as excess volumes built up in Northwest Europe, sources said. Blenders were still finding naphtha blendstock grades unattractive despite the recent weakness of prices because gasoline demand was also falling off amid uncertainty regarding new coronavirus spikes. The gasoline Eurobob FOB ARA September swap was assessed at a premium of $15.50/mt over the equivalent naphtha contract.

“Demand in August doesn’t look great,” a naphtha trader said.

The main pressure point for demand recovery in the near term at least could be buying interest from petrochemicals producers, particularly as the premium to propane was narrowing. However, an increase in naphtha utilization rates would be something a slow of a process, sources said. The naphtha CIF NWE August contract closed at a $42.50/mt premium to its propane equivalent, down $8.25/mt.

In Asian markets, the September East-West spread – the premium of the CFR Japan naphtha cargo swap over the CIF NWE equivalent – was assessed at $17.75/mt, up $3.50/mt from the previous assessment, with October $2.50/mt higher at $17/mt. The slight uptick was mainly due to a weaker European complex.

In other paper market activity, the front-month September CIF NWE naphtha swap was assessed at $365.50/mt, up $14/mt on the day, while the market structure remained in contango, with the differential between naphtha CIF NWE August and the equivalent September contract seen at $1/mt, down 25 cents/mt. The naphtha crack spread against the ICE Brent crude oil October contract closed at minus $3.25/mt, up 60 cents/mt.

platts European Jet daily Market analysis�� Global scheduled flying capacity 4.3% higher on week

on Europe ramp-up�� Repsol produces bio-jet fuel for the first time for

Spanish market

The European jet fuel complex started the week on a broadly stable note with sentiment still weighed down by a resurgence of coronavirus cases in Europe, while a modest uptick in demand coupled with still reduced run at European refineries offered some support.

Global flying capacity increased 4.3% on the week to 60 million seats for the week starting August 3, but this was still 49.6% less than a year earlier, aviation information provider OAG said Aug. 3.

“There are undoubtedly some markets where capacity is returning to previous year levels and others where further growth remains out of reach pending lockdowns being eased. But with demand continuing to lag, the outlook remains worrying from so many angles for both the industry and wider travel sector,” OAG said.

According to OAG, Western Europe benefited from the strongest weekly growth with a 14.6% increase and the addition of 1.524 million seats, bringing to total capacity for the current week to around 12 million seats. However, worries around potential new lockdowns and quarantine measures due to an increase in coronavirus cases in the continent threatened further growth next week.

Moreover, the number of long-haul flights operating in the first week of August remained well below normal levels seen at the peak of the summer season. Looking at large aircraft typically used for long-haul travel and thus the most fuel-thirsty, the B777 is only operating at some 29% of its January levels but scheduled operations have increased by nearly 18% this week. Meanwhile, the A380 is scheduled to operate some 64 flights this week, compared with the mid-January schedule of 2,205 flights, according to OAG data.

In industry news, Spain’s Repsol produced 7,000 mt of aviation fuel with a bio-component at its complex at Puertollano, it said Aug. 3. The bio-component of the fuel

was produced using biomass, with the bio-component less than 5% to meet quality requirements. Repsol said production of bio-jet would be rolled out to its other facilities and it would also look to produce biofuels from waste.

This first batch will avoid the release of 440 mt of CO2 emissions -- the equivalent of 40 flights between Madrid and Barcelona.

In the paper market, the contango in the first-month/second-month jet CIF NWE cargo outright swaps was at $6.71/mt Aug. 3, wider than the $5.66/mt contango July 31.

In the physical market, CIF NWE jet fuel cargoes were assessed at a $22/mt discount to front-month ICE low-sulfur gasoil futures Aug. 3, up from a $22.25/mt discount the previous trading day. FOB FARAG jet fuel barges were assessed at a $17.50/mt discount, up from a $17.75/mt discount.

In Asia, the FOB Singapore jet fuel/kerosene started off the month on a relatively weaker note as demand for aviation fuel appeared weak amid the resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, Singapore’s commercial stockpiles of jet fuel and gasoil eased from a six-week high as the city-state retained its net exporter status in the week ended July 29, reflecting still-healthy gasoil exports against a backdrop of lower inflows owing to tight regional supply. On the jet fuel front, outflows stood at 10,517 mt in the week ended July 29, with the bulk of exports bound for Vietnam and Fiji at 6,191 mt and 3,528 mt respectively, Enterprise Singapore data showed. Jet fuel inflows into Singapore stood at 3,016 mt in the week ended July 29, most of which came from Malaysia.

platts European Gasoil daily Market analysis�� ICE LSGO futures net speculative length slips back

from 6-month high�� NWE distillate MOC physical cargo volumes hit 2020

low in July�� Nigeria’s Duke Oil buys 60,000 mt of 0.3% from

SaharaSpeculative net long positions in ICE low sulfur gasoil futures fell 7,091 contracts to 59,189 in the week to July 28, according to ICE data, down from the six-month high reached the previous week.

Fears of a second wave of coronavirus and a resurgence in cases in several regions in Europe weighed on distillates markets over the reporting week.

Managed money long positions decreased by 2,203 contracts to 86,565 contracts, while short positions increased by 4,888 contracts to 27,376.

This sharp increase in short positions was the largest since the week ended April 28 when short positions increased by 5,680 to 47,317.

Open interest in the futures fell by 1,307 contracts over the reporting week to 875,874.

In the Platts Market on Close assessment process in July, 405,000 mt of distillates products traded across the jet fuel, gasoil and diesel cargo markets in Northwest Europe, down 318,000 mt from June and the lowest volume traded in the process since December.

Published bids and offers were relatively steady, down by 117 on the month to 500, but higher than May which had 499 indications across the jet fuel, gasoil and diesel cargo MOC processes.

Nigeria’s Duke Oil bought 60,000 mt of 0.3% gasoil from Sahara to be delivered August 2-6 in Nigeria, sources at the parent company NNPC said Aug. 3. The vessel carrying the cargo was the MT Norstar Intrepid, a source at NNPC said. The tender was issued last week and Sahara Energy were not immediately available to comment.

Rhine water levels fell to nearly 100 cm at key choke-point Kaub over the weekend, but were set to increase drastically this week which would relieve the need to part load barges.

According to the German Waterways Authority (WSV), water levels at Kaub in Germany were set to rise to 210 cm by Aug. 7.

Without part loading, barge freight costs would remain low and prevent a decrease in demand, sources said.

In the broader oil market, crude oil futures were trading lower on Aug. 3 on a slower-than-expected recovery in demand, while at the same time OPEC+ production was increasing and the new global surge in coronavirus cases was casting further doubt on the outlook for oil-product consumption.

“Speculators appear to be getting more nervous about the demand recovery, with the path much more gradual than market expectations coming into the second half of the year,” ING’s head of commodities strategy Wenyu Yao wrote in a daily note. “This stall in demand comes at a time when the market is already starting to see supply coming

platts European diesel daily Market analysis�� European diesel demand in Q3 to jump 610,000 b/d on

the quarter: Platts Analytics�� USGC-Europe arb volumes at 720,000 mt for Aug, up

from 440,000 mt in July

The European 10ppm diesel market continued to eye second-wave fears spreading across the region, as the threat of new lockdowns could hamper prompt diesel demand, just as it had begun to recover.

European demand in Q3 2020 is expected to climb up 610,000 b/d on the quarter, but this remains 350,000 b/d lower on the year, data from S&P Global Platts Analytics showed July 31.

Meanwhile on the supply side, refining sources eyed increased runs, with diesel the likely focus of optimization

as the 10ppm crack continued to perform well. Platts Analytics sees the primary increase in runs in China, and even though other regions continue to suffer from high stocks and weak margins Europe is also seeing an increase.

The increase in refinery activity is on top of a steady Primorsk loading program for August at around 933,000 mt. Regarding Black Sea supply, a copy of the initial loading program for the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiisk showed that the first two 30,000 mt cargoes set to load from the Sheskharis oil terminal are chartered to Litasco on the North Swan and Rinella M tankers. The loading program was 372,000 mt, and with refineries ramping up sources expect a similar volume for August.

Arbitrage volumes are set to increase for August from the US Gulf Coast into Europe, as economics become more favorable. Imports of ULSD into Europe from the USGC are predicted at 720,000 mt for August, according to data intelligence company Kpler, compared with 440,000 mt in July. If 720, 000 mt of exports do materialize, this would surpass levels seen in March, the highest for 2020.

As the trading season for summer specification diesel draws to an end, inventories of summer specification diesel in tank are ample and blending opportunities with jet fuel could occur, to produce winter-specification diesel. Already traders can see cargoes with lower density and better cold properties. A trader on August 3 said some players were looking to retain summer spec ULSD until next year if they had ullage available.

platts European Fuel oil daily Market analysis�� Demand for very low sulfur fuel oil in Europe remains

muted�� Bunker sales of VLSFO in Rotterdam down more than

6% on quarter

The European fuel oil market continued to see opposing fundamentals for VLSFO and HSFO, while July volumes of fuel oil traded in the Platts Market on Close assessment process in London rose 27% month on month

Some 138,000 mt of 0.5%S marine fuel traded during July’s MOC, up from 96,000 mt in June and 118,000 mt in May.

Despite the increase in trades, market sources continued to note a lack of demand in the market.

“There is no demand, and unsold cargoes,” one source said Aug. 3 referring to VLSFO in the Mediterranean. They said this was down to the summer lull and participants likely already had their required inventory.

Meanwhile, some 222,000 mt of 3.5%S RMG 380 CST fuel oil traded during the MOC last month, up from 188,000 mt in June but still well below May volumes of 352,000 mt.

HSFO continued to find support on tighter availability, as demand for the product from the US Gulf Coast as coker feed and Saudi Arabia for utilities added pressure to the more limited supply locally.

In other news, bunker sales volumes at Europe’s key Rotterdam bunkering hub dropped 6.4% on the quarter in the April-June period, and were also down 1.3% from a year earlier, data from the port authority showed.

Bunker volumes totaled 2,218,924 cu m in Q2, down from 2,371,441 cu m in January-March, the lowest quarter for volumes since Q3 in 2019.

Very low sulfur fuel oil accounted for almost half of all bunker volumes at 1,092,134 cu m of sales, while high sulfur fuel oil accounted for 545,231 cu m, just shy of a quarter of total sales.

Despite reports of sluggish bunker demand in the region, VLSFO volumes increased 10% quarter on quarter. Meanwhile, HSFO dropped by 11% from the previous quarter.

platts russian refined products daily commentary�� Gasoline continues to shed value as output, sales rise�� Fuel oil climbs after good end-month buying interest

Gasoline remained on a downward trajectory Aug. 3, amid buyers’ reluctance to pay higher prices.

Supply was gradually rising and likely to increase further, even as demand outstripped supply.

Gasoline production in July was 3.549 million mt, down 0.4% year on year but up 10.3% month on month.

In June, gasoline output started recovering gradually as refineries came out of maintenance. and the recovery continued in July as all refineries, apart from Astrakhan, were back online. Meanwhile, gasoline traded on Russia’s St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange, or Spimex, rose to 688,250 mt in July from 503,510 mt in June. Further increase is expected this month.

Diesel was shedding value at most refineries, although the drops were more modest compared with gasoline.

Diesel output was 6.614 million mt in June, down 5.1% year on year and up 8.9% from June on completed refinery maintenance and increased runs.

Production cuts were much more modest than those of gasoline as domestic sales benefited producers under the damper mechanism. Meanwhile, diesel output was 6.614

million mt in July, down 5.1% year on year and up 8.9% from June.

Fuel oil prices were climbing on the back of good demand during end-of-month buying by the industry and utilities.

Concerns about the imminent introduction of an excise duty were fueling buying interest.

Meanwhile, fuel oil production totaled 3.124 million mt in July, down 16.7% year on year and up 11.2% on the month.

Russian fuel oil production and exports have fallen steadily due to refinery modernization, with many facilities launching delayed cokers. However, the drops seem to have plateaued last year with no new units due for launch in the immediate future.

Output has been steadily in decline since April after refineries reduced throughput in the wake of the coronavirus spread and subsequent lockdown.

platts European VGo daily commentary�� VGO sulfur spread remains narrow on uneven demand�� Road traffic levels down 38% on year: TomTom

European VGO markets remained quiet Aug. 3, as HSVGO continued to be the feedstock of choice with demand supported by workable hydrocracker margins and the narrow spread to LSVGO static.

HSVGO started the week supported by higher refinery demand versus its low-sulfur counterpart, with margins in hydrocrackers and fluid catalytic crackers uneven. Hydrocracking units predominantly process HSVGO to produce distillates, but sources have said that blends of high and low sulfur VGO have been run through hydrocracker units recently, as weak gasoline cracks make FCC margins economically unviable.

“Looking at hydrocracker and FCC margins, neither are very appealing,” a VGO source said. “Nobody wants to run FCCs or hydrocrackers at full rate, but they are more likely to run hydrocrackers than FCCs at full rate.”

“When you don’t have any HSVGO on offer, you buy LSVGO and try to cope with it,” another source said.

In refinery news, the hydrocracker at Total and Lukoil’s 180,000 b/d Flushing refinery in the Netherlands is back online after upgrade works started in May, sources said.

On the demand side, road traffic levels in most of Europe’s five biggest capital cites continued to slip last week compared with a year earlier, as new restrictions to curb further coronavirus outbreaks halted the region’s fuel demand recovery.

Average road congestion levels in Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, and Madrid were 38% below a year earlier in the week to Aug. 2, down two percentage points from the previous week and back down to levels in mid-June, according to TomTom data. Paris and Madrid were hardest hit, with congestion levels back down at levels seen in at the end of May and mid-June respectively.

platts north sea crude daily Market analysis�� North Sea paper market muted amid uncertainty,

post-expiry period�� Forties, Ekofisk July cargoes remain in Europe amid

minimal Asia demand

In the North Sea crude market Aug. 3, traders noted a quiet post-expiry period through the day as uncertainty continued to grip the market.

“[The paper market is] super-duper quiet,” one trader said Aug. 3.

The European light sweet crude market remained under pressure from barrels arriving from the US and West Africa along with refiners continuing to limit runs.

European refiners continued to limit their run rates due to low margins, S&P Global Platts previously reported, with traders continuing to keep an eye on products markets.

While the European diesel market had found some support from surging prompt demand, the jet fuel and gasoil markets continued to experience muted demand.

Despite short programs for many North Sea grades through September, market participants remain concerned there will not be enough demand to clear all the cargoes easily.

According to a copy of the loading program seen by Platts Aug. 3, two cargoes of Flotta Gold are expected to load in September. One cargo is expected to be 650,000 barrels with the second seen at 500,000 barrels.

As demand from the East has been extremely muted through Q3 so far, according to Platts trade flow software cFlow, no July-loading cargoes of Forties went to Asia.

The grade received increased interested from European refineries instead as they looked for alternatives to the limited supply of heavier grades such as Urals.

Destinations for the grade included France, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Gibraltar and Spain.

Meanwhile, July-loading Ekofisk saw varied demand destinations across Europe as some refineries looked to up their run rates earlier in the month.

Eight million barrels of the grade loaded in July with destinations including the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Sweden.

platts European straight run daily Market analysis�� Weak bunker demand weighs on LSSR prices�� Rotterdam bunker sales down 6% in Q2

LSSR markets in Europe remained very quiet on Aug. 3 as the product continued to suffer weak demand from the low-sulfur bunker pool.

With LSSR demand leaning heavily on the bunker market in recent months, bearish fundamentals in the shipping industry have weighed heavily on LSSR prices.

Sources continue to report very low demand for LSSR as a refinery feedstock, as fluid catalytic cracking margins are affected by weak gasoline cracks.

With demand for floating storage weakening since the height of the pandemic and real demand levels still below those pre-crisis, the shipping industry has experienced its traditional summer lull in a new environment this year.

Bunkering demand was heard slow at the Dutch port of Rotterdam August 3, according to a bunker fuel supplier.

This largely reflected the sentiment of the past month, which saw bunker fuel sales at the hub pulled down 6.4% to 2,218,924 cu m in Q2, port authority data showed Aug. 3. This was down from 2,371,441 cu m in January-March, the

lowest quarter for volumes since Q3 in 2019, when it was 2,123,549 cu m.

Very low sulfur fuel oil, for which LSSR has been used as blending component, accounted for almost half of all bunker volumes at 1,092,134 cu m of sales.
