COMMENT

Uncertain times

I

t seems that global oil markets are facing uncertainly from across the board at the moment. Global trade disputes have left some investors concerned about global economic growth and how it will affect demand for energy. The US’ sanctions against Iran will affect oil exports from November and escalating tariff disputes between the US and China have only added to these economic and trade concerns. Coupled with talks in the last few months that the UK could leave the European Union with a ‘no deal’ and a great deal of uncertainly over how the IMO 2020 regulation will affect the supply chain, it certainly has not been plain sailing for oil markets. However, underlying demand trends are more positive. Growth is looking healthy for 2018 at 1.4 mb/d and looking ahead to 2019, the International Energy Agency has revised its demand growth upwards by 110 kb/d. That is not to say that these geopolitical tensions won’t take their toll. The Agency is very mindful that demand growth could cool down later this year and into 2019 but it is very much a case of ‘watch this space’. One certainty amongst all of this is the IMO 2020 sulphur fuel regulation, which will take effect from January 1,2020. We are less than two years away from the biggest disruption to the shipping and oil industry and there are still many unknowns about how various markets and sectors will adapt to this change. In this edition, we provide insights on this new regulation from a storage, shipping and refining perspective. Also, in this edition, we take a closer look at energy and storage markets in Asia. Underlying demand drivers are

06

still robust and the region’s demand for energy is still forecast to lead the world. We speak exclusively to executives at the Tanjung Bin Petrochemical & Maritime Industrial Centre, which will help create Asia’s next international storage & trading hub. The 2,255-acre complex has significant development potential to help serve growing demand in the Asia Pacific region. With strong demand for transportation fuels and petroleum products in the foreseeable future, Jurong Port Tank Terminals, a joint venture between Jurong Port and Oiltanking, is a new terminal targeting the clean petroleum market. We find out more about how this new facility will capitalise on Singapore’s premier oil & gas position. This edition of the magazine is travelling far and wide and will be at no less than ten events globally. The team will be at the NISTM event in Galveston, Texas, Tank Storage Association in the UK, and Tank Storage Asia in Singapore. We look forward to seeing you at one of these events. I hope you enjoy the read.

With best wishes,

Jasmin

Sinopec to build natural gas storage facilities Sinopec has announced plans to build natural gas storage facilities with a total capacity of 55.6 billion m3 in northern China.

A

ccording to Platts, the facilities will be located in the northern Henan province to ease supply bottlenecks in peak winter season. The company did not give a timeline or investment amount of building the new capacity. This follows PetroChina’s announcement of the construction of nearly 20 bcm of underground gas storage in northeast China. Sinopec’s gas storage cluster will comprise 16 facilities built at the site of abandoned oil and gas fields in the province. China is set to become the world’s largest gas importer within the next three years, however the lack of pipeline and gas storage capacity has affected the growth of LNG demand.

China is set to become the world’s largest gas importer within the next three years

Phoenix Petroleum & CNOOC to develop Philippines LNG terminal Phoenix Petroleum Philippines and CNOOC Gas and Power Group have signed an agreement to explore building a LNG receiving storage terminal in the Philippines. Reuters reports that the Philippines is seeking investors to build a storage and distribution facility for imported LNG as it looks to replace its Malampava gas reserves. In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Phoenix says: ‘The agreement for the LNG project will potentially broaden Phoenix Petroleum’s portfolio of new businesses, which now include LPG, convenience retailing, asphalt and e-transactions.’ Phoenix vice president for external affairs Raymond Zorrilla says the LNG opportunity would be an addition to the company’s expanding portfolio of new ventures complementing and strengthening its core fuel business. ‘By investing in clean energy such as LNG, Phoenix Petroleum is doing its part in supporting the Philippines Energy Plan to diversify energy mix and ensure sustainable, stable, secure, sufficient, accessible and reasonably-priced energy.’

PetroChina plans underground storage facilities PetroChina will start work on two more underground gas storage facilities by the end of 2018. Local media reports that the facilities will be located in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, with a total cost of 5.3 million yuan. The Tongluoxia and Huangcaoxia facilities are

due to be complete by 2022 and will ensure an annual supply of 1.28 billion m3 of gas. Currently, 25 underground gas facilities exist in China.

Gujarat State Petroleum to build LNG import terminal A five million tonne LNG import terminal is due to be commissioned in the next three months by Gujarat State Petroleum. The import terminal in Mundra, Gujarat, will be the third import terminal in Gujarat to import LNG in cryogenic ships and then re-converting the liquid fuel into its gaseous state before transporting it by pipeline to customers. According to the Economic Times, managing director Jagdip Narayan Singh says: ‘We will commission Mundra terminal by August-end or mid-September. It will operate at 1.5 million tonnes a year capacity for the first one-and-a-half years before scaling up to full capacity.’ The terminal, which can expand its capacity to 10 million tonnes per annum, is designed to have a berth for receiving LNG tankers, two 1.6 million m3 LNG storage tanks as well as facilities for regasification and gas evacuation. 09

ExxonMobil to expand Altona Refinery storage capacity ExxonMobil is building a new crude storage tank at its Altona Refinery to help meet Australia’s growing demand for transportation fuels.

T

he new tank will improve the efficiency of Mobil Refining Australia’s – a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Australia – local refining and supply operations. The new tank will be built in an existing crude oil storage area at the refinery site and construction will start in mid-2018 and is expected to be completed in 2020. Riccardo Cavallo, Mobil’s manager of refining for Australia and New Zealand, says that the tank represents another major investment in the refinery that complements other recent investments to improve ExxonMobil’s competitive position in Australia. ‘The additional crude oil storage will help optimise ExxonMobil Australia’s integrated oil and gas business to support continued supply of high-quality, locally produced fuel products to Victorian businesses and households.’

Trafigura signs agreement for storage at SLNG terminal Trafigura and Singapore LNG Corporation havesigned an agreement for storage and reload services at the SLNG terminal on Jurong Island. The agreement stipulates that Trafigura will have access to 160,000 m3 of firmed LNG storage capacity on a segregated basis for the next 24 months. This is the second such agreement that Trafigura has signed with SLNG to utilise the excess LNG storage capacity at the terminal. John Ng, CEO of SLNG, says: ‘SLNG is very pleased to once again offer our storage and reload services to Trafigura and we look forward to continuing our fruitful working relationships with the company. Through this and our other ancillary service offerings, SLNG aims to facilitate more LNG trade and market plays out of Singapore, contributing to the development of Singapore as an LNG hub.’

Australian consortium announces new LNG import terminal Australian Industrial Energy plans to build New South Wales’ first LNG import storage terminal at Port Kembla. The terminal will have the ability to supply in excess of 100 PJ per annum, which means it could meet over 70% of New South Wales’ total gas needs. Development and construction of the Port Kembla Gas Terminal will make Australian Industrial Energy (AIE)– an Australian-led international consortium – a central player in the market. The terminal, which will require a capital investment of between AUD$200 million and AUD$300 million, will increase the certainty of affordable gas supply to NSW. AIE has entered into 12 MoU’s for the supply of gas. The company says that the terminal is a comparatively low-cost and speedy alternative to the construction of new inter-state or crosscountry pipelines to transport gas to NSW and the wider eastern seaboard. As a gateway to global sources of natural gas, it could also underpin the vast majority of the state’s entire natural gas needs by early 2020. AIE CEO James Baulderstone, says: ‘NSW is facing significant challenges in ensuring available and affordable gas supplies and we are working to make this project a reality as quickly as possible. ‘In recent times wholesale gas prices have doubled, and in many cases tripled in NSW. In addition, many industrial companies are now unable to secure gas for any period longer than 12 months. ‘The world-leading expertise of the AIE partners, now combined with the enthusiasm of NSW ports and Port Kembla’s regional business community to see this project realised, means AIE is well placed to deliver firm, long-term gas on highly competitive pricing and terms as soon as 2020.’

New multi-purpose terminal planned for Myanmar Plans have been submitted by the Yangon Region Government to establish a new multi-purpose terminal in the region. According to government-owned newspaper Global New Light of Myanmar the terminal in the southern Yangon region would increase foreign currency earnings and facilitate exports and imports. The plans detail that the terminal will be developed on 1,053 acres of land with a 2.2km waterfront. The facility will also have a bulk liquid storage terminal to allow for the import of fuel oil, according to U Zaw Aye Maung, Yangon region minister for Rakhine ethnic affairs at Yangon region parliament. It would also facilitate the export of rice and pulses. Royal Haskoning Company and Surbana Jurong Company have completed a feasibility study.

Port of Corpus Christi approves investment programme The Port of Corpus Christi has approved a $217 million finance package for a series of major improvements, including the Corpus Christ Ship Channel.

T

he package will allow the port to continue developing more terminals, rail and channel improvements needed to handle the growing oil and gas volumes from the region’s large energy producing fields. Part of the programme includes the deepening and widening of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, which will be dredged to 54 feet to accommodate Suezmax and larger vessels. It will also be widened to 530 feet to allow for two-way traffic flows, positioning the port as the deepest draft navigation port in the US Gulf. These enhancements are designed to handle the growing export volumes of US crude and natural gas, which have propelled the Port of Corpus Christi to what is now the largest energy export port in the US by volume. Sean Strawbridge, CEO of the Port of Corpus Christi, says: ‘We are pleased the commission approved this bond resolution and look forward to a successful round of financing. With the growth our customers are experiencing, coupled with our public private partnership development structures, this additional financing will augment our already strong balance sheet and position the South Texas Coastal Bend for further prosperity.’

Canadian government to buy Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline system The Government of Canada has agreed to buy the Trans Mountain Pipeline system and the expansion project for C$4.5 billion from Kinder Morgan Canada.

Andeavor to build fuel storage terminal in Baja California Andeavor has announced plans to build a refined products terminal at the Rosarito storage facility of Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE).

A

s part of an agreement with CFEnergía, Andeavor will sign a long-term lease for the land and will build and operate the facility for $100 million. The infrastructure is expected to reduce Andeavor’s cost to directly import fuels into Baja California supporting its growing network of ARCO branded stations and other customers in northwest Mexico. Greg Goff, chairman, president and CEO, says: ‘The expansion of our branded business in Mexico allows us to further extend our integrated West Coast value chain into this attractive and high growth geography. ‘This logistics project will further strengthen Andeavor’s ability to cost effectively deliver petrol and diesel to our customers directly from our refineries on the West Coast.’ Redevelopment of the facility is expected to be compete in the next two years.

Enterprise & Navigator start construction on ethylene storage terminal Enterprise Products Partners and Navigator Holdings have started construction on their joint venture ethylene export terminal at Enterprise’s Morgan’s Point facility on the Houston Ship Channel. The terminal will have the capacity to export 2.2 billion pounds of ethylene per year. Refrigerated storage for 66 million pounds of ethylene is being constructed onsite and will provide the capability to load ethylene at rates of 2.2 million pounds per hour. Commercial operations are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2019, which is one quarter earlier than previously projected. The new terminal will facilitate continued growth of domestic ethylene production, which is expected to reach 90 billion pounds per year by 2021. It will also promote supply diversification for expanding markets like Asia, which rely on cost-advantaged US feedstocks. The high-capacity ethylene salt dome storage facility Enterprise is developing at its complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas is scheduled to begin service in the second quarter of 2019. Once complete, it will have a capacity of 600 million pounds with an injection/withdrawal rate of 420,000 pounds per hour and will be designed to enable connections to the eight ethylene pipelines within a half-mile of the Enterprise ethylene storage system. Additionally, Enterprise is building a new ethylene pipeline from Mont Belvieu to Bayport, Texas, which is on schedule to begin service in 2020.

Petronas to acquire equity stake in LNG Canada project Petronas has entered into an agreement to acquire a 25% equity stake in the LNG Canada project in British Columbia. Once the transaction is complete, ownership in the project in Kitimat will be 25% Petronas (through its wholly-owned entity North Montney LNG), 40% Shell Canada Energy, 15% PetroChina Canada, 15% Diamond LNG Canada and 5% Kogas Canada. The project includes the design, construction and operation of a gas liquefaction plants and facilities for the storage and export of LNG, including marine facilities. It will initially consist of two world-scale LNG processing units, with an option to expand the project in the future to four units. Petronas president and group CEO Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin says: ‘As one of the world’s largest LNG producers, Petronas looks forward to adding value to this venture through our long-term expertise and experience across the LNG value chain. ‘Petronas is in Canada for the long-term and we are exploring a number of business opportunities that will allow us to increase our production and accelerate the monetisation of our world-class resources in the North Montney. LNG is just one of those opportunities.’ Prasanth Kakaraparthi, senior analyst, Wood Mackenzie, says that this announcement markets an interesting turn of events for the company. He adds: ‘Petronas has signalled its intent to become a portfolio player and has taken steps to diversify its supply sources. Once both phases are executed, LNG Canada could add up to 7mt of equity into Petronas portfolio – nearly 20% of its 2023 supply. ‘We believe this to be a positive development for Petronas. We expect the global LNG market to tighten post 2022 and this bodes well for the project. ‘But activity has returned to the LNG space with a number of projects expecting to take FID ahead of 2019. A new wave of project sanctions and rising oil prices could push up project costs and dampen the economics.’

National Energy Board approves Trans Mountain storage terminal expansion Trans Mountain has been given approval for its expansion plans at its Burnaby Terminal by the National Energy Board of Canada. The company submitted a variance application, which the board says will significantly improve safety at the terminal. As part of the Trans Mountain expansion project, the company will build 14 new oil storage tanks at its tank farm at the Burnaby Terminal. In March 2017, the company applied to the board to reduce the diameters of five of the new 14 tanks and the overall capacity of the facility by 50,880 m3. The company will also increase the amount of space between the tanks and reconfigure the secondary containment system at the tank farm to reduce the risk of fire. The decisions by the board mean that Trans Mountain can now start construction at the terminal. However, while the company can now commence work at the terminal, the board is still assessing condition compliance and the company is not yet authorised to begin building the pipeline itself.

Phillips 66 to build NGL storage & pipeline infrastructure Phillips 66 is expanding its Sweeny Hub with two 150,000 barrel-per-day NGL fractionators, more storage capacity and associated pipeline infrastructure. The project in Old Ocean, Texas, is expected to cost up to $1.5 billion and will begin commercial operations in late 2020. Supply agreements have been secured for Y-grade NGL feedstock, including an agreement with DCP Midstream, which has an option to acquire up to a 30% ownership interest in the new fractionators. Greg Garland, chairman and CEO of Phillips 66, says: ‘We are pleased to move forward with the Sweeny Hub expansion, a key part of our midstream growth strategy that further optimises our integrated NGL value chain. ‘The Sweeny Hub is strategically positioned to provide fractionation capacity for rapidly growing Permian Basin NGL production and access to US Gulf Coast petrochemical, fuels and LPG export markets.’ Once complete, the Sweeny Hub will have 400,000 barrels per day of NGL fractionation capacity and access to 15 million barrels of total storage capacity.

Norwegian-based terminal operator Odfjell has entered into an agreement with Dutch terminal operator Koole. Odfjell will sell its 100% ownership in Odfjell BV subsidiaries’ Odfjell Terminals Rotterdam (OTR) and Odfjell Terminals Maritiem (OTM) for a price of $155 million.

T

he transaction is expected to reduce the net debt of Odfjell Terminals BV (OTBV) by around $35 million. ‘This is a landmark transaction for us,’ says Kristian Mørch, CEO of Odfjell. ‘We have been working hard to restore profitability at OTR during the past years, and the terminal is now ready for the next step of development, which will require significant investments. ‘We are therefore pleased to have Koole as the potential purchaser.

Stena Oil to build new marine fuel terminal Stena Oil has announced plans to build a new marine fuel storage terminal in Denmark in direct response to the IMO 2020 sulphur fuel cap. The facility in the Port of Frederikshavn will be the largest of its kind in Scandinavia, with a capacity of 75,000 m3 and its location will reduce the distances travelled by bunkering vessels. The facility has been made possible by major investment in recent years to expand and develop the port. It will be built in a new outer part of the harbour where Stena Oil will have exclusive access to a 300 meter-long quayside with 14 meters draft. The terminal will collect slops as well as performing several other services. The boat that supplies fuel can carry slops back to the terminal where they are pumped into tanks and cleaned in an environmentally sound process. It will also provide a base for Stena Oil’s European Maritime Safety Agency work, which will provide rapid response ships and equipment for oil spill cleaning. Jonas Persson, MD of Stena Oil, says: ‘We are delighted to be developing our business in Frederikshavn. We will create a state-of-the-art terminal that can handle all fuel types that meet the IMO’s global sulphur directive, which comes into effect in 2020. ‘In combination with our Gothenburg terminal, we will have the capability to serve our customers even better. ‘We are also investing in a bunkering vessel. We are well prepared to meet changing customer needs and the 2020 fuel requirements.’

Oiltanking reports mixed year performance Marquard & Bahls has reported a mixed 2017 performance, with its tank storage division – Oiltanking – delivering a strong contribution to its financials. The group says that Oiltanking had a ‘successful albeit mixed year’. Some facilities saw a decline in capacity utilisation, but at the same time many contracts were extended and several major projects advanced. In Matola, Mozambique, Oiltanking successfully commissioned a new tank terminal. The year-end, the company operated 80 terminals in 25 countries, with a total capacity of 21 million m3. In view of the new tank terminal projects currently under construction and the expansion of existing locations, Oiltanking is confident that it will continue to grow in the future, with a particular focus in gases and chemicals. Marquard & Bahls reported its 2017 operating result of €200 million. Looking ahead, Marquard & Bahls says it will strive for further international growth in the future. Its focus will be on expanding the core activities of trading, tank storage logistics and aviation fuelling. It adds: ‘The strong operating base and solid financial position provide a good starting point for future projects and plans.’

Vopak opens new loading station at Antwerp storage terminal Vopak has launched a new station for loading block trains at Vopak Terminal ACS in Antwerp. The new loading station increases the capacity to handle tank wagons at the terminal by 400%. This new infrastructure strengthens the terminal’s role in the Port of Antwerp as a chemical hub for north western Europe. The product group most frequently treated at Vopak ACS is acetyls, which is used in various coatings, packaging as well as pharmaceutical products. The product is first supplied to the terminal’s customers via ship in Antwerp. Since the majority of processing takes place in Germany, the acetyls are then transported there via rail, making it very important for the Port of Antwerp to be well connected to this hinterland. The new loading stations means that customers will be able to make better use of the railway transportation. The terminal had 202,000 m3 of capacity spread across 107 tanks.

Oiltanking sells Amsterdam biodiesel plant to Greenergy

ODC Terminal enters storage agreement with oil major

Greenergy will acquire an idle biodiesel manufacturing facility located at Oiltanking’s site in Amsterdam.

Oil Deposit Corunna has entered into a storage agreement for crude oil and petroleum products with a top 10 oil major.

The acquisition of a third biodiesel plant will allow Greenergy to meet growing demand for waste-based biofuel in the UK and Europe. The biodiesel manufacturing facility was built in 2010 to process vegetable oils but was never commissioned. Greenergy plans to carry out works over the next year to convert the facility to process waste oils rather than vegetable oils and then add further production capacity. Greenergy is Europes largest manufacturer of biodiesel from waste and it owns two major facilities on the east cost of England in Immingham and Teesside. The location in Amsterdam benefits from deep-water access, allowing for break bulk on long-haul shipments of waste oils. Under a long-term agreement, Oiltanking will provide Greenergy with storage facilities for raw materials and finished biodiesels, as well as a range of support services. Andrew Owns, Greenergy chief executive, says: ‘Demand for waste-based biodiesel is rising rapidly in the UK and Europe as a result of higher obligated biofuel inclusion rates. Over the last few years we have scaled up our raw material supply chains and invested in our UK manufacturing facilities, increasing output through a variety of incremental investments. ‘We are now leveraging these skills and capabilities to develop a third plant.’ Jan Willem van Velzen, MD for Oiltanking Amsterdam, says: ‘Oiltanking will also be investing in its own infrastructure in order to accommodate Greenergy’s logistical needs.’

The terminal comprises 350,000 m3 of capacity for all class crude oil and petroleum products in addition to a 400 meter long and 25 meter draft jetty at the Coruna Port in north west Atlantic Spain. The oil major, which has upstream operations in the North and Barents Seas, will benefit from the innovative short sailing and ECA free Irish sea route, the true VLCC plus jetty and the logistic position advantage to launch cargos to Asia, ODC says in a statement. Other storage agreement negotiations are in place, including governmental strategic reserves bodies. Construction of the terminal is due to start as soon as permitting is completed, which is currently in its final stages.

Total to develop natural gas project in Oman Total has signed a MoU with the government of Oman to develop natural gas resources in Oman.

T

otal and Shell as operator will develop several natural gas discoveries located in the Greater Barik area on onshore Block 6 with respective shares of 25% and 75% respectively. The objective is to have an initial gas production of around 500 MMcfd and a potential to reach 1 bcf/d at a later stage. Total will use its equity gas entitlement as feedstock to develop in Oman a regional hub for LNG bunkering service to supply LNG as a fuel to marine vessels. This will be achieved through a new, small-scale modular liquefaction plant to be built in Sohar port. Arnaud Breuillac, president exploration and production at Total, says:’ We will bring our expertise in LNG and will introduce access to a new gas market for the sultanate. Developing an LNG bunkering service will generate in-country value and job opportunities and will support industry diversification through fostering the shipping activity in Oman.’

Saudi Aramco crude to chemicals complex project progresses Saudi Aramco’s crude oil to chemicals complex is on track to become the largest of its kind in the world. The complex is expected to process 400,000 barrels per day of Arabian light crude oil, which will produce nine million tonnes of chemicals and nine million tonnes of fuels per year. It is projected to achieve a direct conversion rate from crude oil to chemicals of up to 50%, which is unprecedented globally. Saudi Aramco and SABIC, who are partnering on the giga project, awarded a contract to KBR, a global leader in project management and engineering services, to develop a part of the complex. KBR will provide the front-end engineering and design for the downstream petrochemicals and chemicals component within the master complex. The scope includes engineering studies, infrastructure planning and development for both of the polymer and glycol units, along with the aromatics complex, the COTC master plot plan and offsite utilities.
