Petrochemicals
Supercycle No Longer the Base Case
Global ethylene utilization of 90% is no longer a high probability in 2014.
Demand continues to lag historical trends, and we do not envision a positive inflection. After two weak years, Chinese data are improving against soft comps, while developed markets’ decelerating demand or outright declines continue. We now forecast peak utilization of ~89% in 2016 vs. our prior forecast of 90% in 2014.
We expect utilization rates to decline thereafter due to increased supply from the US,
China, and the Middle East. Importantly, we do not believe global petrochemicalrelated equities price in a 90%+ utilization.

Incremental demand should outpace supply in the next three years, increasing the current utilization rate from 86% to 89% in 2016. This should enable high-cost
Asian polyethylene margins to improve off the 2012 trough, though to nowhere near peak levels.
Cost curve position remains the key driver of producer economics. We expect

    The United States is a fossil fuel hungry nation whose economy, markets, and transportation is highly dependent on the abundance of crude oil and petroleum. Although there is roughly 85.9 billion barrels of undiscovered technically recoverable crude oil currently in the form of oil shale located beneath our soil, we still rely on imports from foreign countries. With a crude oil and petroleum product net import of 7,270 thousand barrels per day the United States is one of the top importers of foreign oil (Petroleum & Other Liquids, 2013). According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA, the United States receives its leading imports of oil from Canada at a rate of 2,815 thousand barrels per day, Saudi…

    Gulf Oil Analysis

    George Keller of the Standard Oil Company of California (Socal) is considering how much to bid for Gulf Oil Corporation (Gulf), which is currently in the middle of a bidding war. Gulf is unwilling to consider bids below $70 per share even though their share price was $39 at the time Boone Pickens began purchasing shares in the hopes of a takeover. II. Statement of Facts and Assumptions Under the direction of James Lee, Gulf pursued a twofold strategy. First, Gulf renewed its focused on oil whereas in the past, Gulf had developed into an energy conglomerate through various acquisitions of coalmines, uranium mines, and synthetic fuel plants. These ventures would be de-emphasized going forward. For second part of the strategy, Gulf planned to implement a policy of increased expenditures on exploration and development (E&D). During the years leading up to the takeover attempt, Gulf more than doubled its exploration outlays. While Gulf was continuing with its ambitious E&D program, the real price of oil and natural gas declined from 1982 through 1983. As 1984 began, almost all industry experts were in agreement that the price of oil (in constant dollars) was not expected to change for the following 10 years. Lee trimmed exploration expenditures in 1983 in response to these changing fundamentals. Even at the reduced level, spending for exploration in real terms equaled or exceeded that of every year before Lee’s arrival except one. Based on this picture, Socal needs to value Gulf. There are several sources of value that can be considered: the value of Gulf’s petroleum reserves; the cost savings related to the immediate suspension of Gulf’s E&D program; the tax benefits associated with additional leverage; the value added by shortening the recovery lag; and the value of any adverse effects due to the acquisition of Gulf by a competitor1.…

    Impact of looming oil crisis on global trade The availability of oil is taken for granted every day by businesses, governments and individuals alike. However, an oil crisis is looming and could feasibly hit at any point. This brings back memories of the oil shortages during the 1970s, which had a major impact on the economic growth, particularly in major industrial countries such as United States. During the 1973 oil crisis - an embargo initiated by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to protest against some of the American trade practices.…
