  14. Slide 14: Gasoline Fundamentals - Demand & Production

    Gasoline Fundamentals - Demand & Production Gasoline demand strong in 2002, up about 2.6% vs. 2001 Stable prices Continued penetration of SUV's and light trucks Driving rather than flying for shorter trips Continued strong demand in January Production declining in 1Q with lower refinery utilization

  15. Slide 15: Gasoline Fundamentals - Inventories & Gas Cracks

    January inventories typically build in advance of turnarounds and RVP change, then decline Run cuts occurring due to poor sweet crude oil and intermediate feedstock economics Heavy turnaround schedule for February/March Margins have improved with lower production and continued strong demand Gasoline

  16. Slide 16: Gasoline Fundamentals - California

    MTBE phase-out underway, expected to result in reduced CARB production of 60,000 barrels per day Lower RVP standard begins March 1 Heavy conversion unit turnarounds in February 10% of California capacity down Gasoline Fundamentals - California Total PADDV Gasoline Stocks, '000bbls 25000 27000 29000

  17. Slide 17: Distillate Fundamentals - Demand & Production

    Strong distillate demand - up 12% vs. last year Cold winter Fuel switching has increased distillate demand approximately 200 MBPD Jet fuel fundamentals improving Distillate production declining sharply Decline has accelerated with turnarounds Distillate Fundamentals - Demand & Production

  18. Slide 18: Distillate Fundamentals - Inventories & Heat Cracks

    Distillate inventories currently well below last year Should continue to decline with good demand, upcoming turnarounds and exports to Latin America As a result, margins have recovered Averaged $3.75 per barrel in January vs. $2.50 per barrel 5-year average Distillate Fundamentals - Inventories & He

  19. Slide 19: Sour Crude Discounts

    Although sour crude discounts recovered in 4Q from first half lows, they narrowed in December due to Venezuela Mars discount $4.40 per barrel for November; as low as $1.00 per barrel in December Sour crude discounts have since widened with additional OPEC production available in February and March M
