24 Western States More Isolated than Rest of U.S. 10/5/

25 California Gasoline Market - Isolated California s gasoline market is nearly self-sufficient, so supplies of gasoline from outside of California are not routinely needed to balance out supply with demand Imports of gasoline and blending components account for only 3 to 6 percent of supply The California market is geographically isolated from other locations in the United States that produce refined products Pipelines connect California refining centers to distribution terminals in Nevada and Arizona, but these pipelines only operate in one direction sending gasoline and other transportation fuels to these neighboring states California market is isolated by time and distance from alternative sources of re-supply during unplanned refinery outages 10/5/

26 Product Pipelines Northern California The pipeline infrastructure in California is controlled by a combination of common carrier and private companies. Kinder Morgan is the sole common carrier of petroleum product pipelines in the State and transports the majority of fuels through its system every day. Other companies, such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Andeavor operate proprietary systems or segments that handle the balance of transportation fuels.

35 Refining & Alkylation Alkylation unit most important gasoline blending component source in refinery Catalyst used to convert petroleum feedstocks to higher-value gasoline Sulfuric acid Hydrofluoric acid (HF) Only 2 refineries use HF in Calif. PBF Torrance Valero Wilmington Concerns raised regarding potential for HF vapor cloud to form if containment systems breached Source: Reactor-Resources.com 10/5/

36 Global Alkylation Technology & Capacity Much greater portion of alkylation units in world use HF compared to California UOP & COP use HF Other technology providers use sulfuric acid Source: DuPont 10/5/

37 Proposed Rule 1410 South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has proposed a rule that has the potential to eliminate HF use at refineries in Southern California. PR 1410 has three possible outcomes: No ban (maintain technology neutral policy) Performance-based structure Ban of HF (SCAQMD staff appear to be pursuing this option) Performance-based structure could expand on safety measures Both refineries already utilize Modified HF (MHF) techniques Chemical used in catalyst to reduce ability to form vapor cloud Additional equipment in place to douse alkylation unit in water intended to reduce ability of vapor cloud forming 10/5/

38 HF Ban Implications The concern is that the incremental impacts on gasoline costs for consumers and businesses could be as bad as or worse than those of experienced for the duration that the Torrance ESP was out of operation. Gasoline prices averaged 26 cents per gallon above normal for 17 months Equates to incremental costs of $5.6 billion for motorists & businesses Refiners are unable to simply replace one catalyst with another. Alkylation units would have to be replaced. Uncertainty regarding: Ability to continue operating modified HF units Timing & outcome associated with permit process Cost and economic viability of HF alkylation replacement requirement 10/5/

39 Ability to Maintain Operations Continuing operation of MHF alkylation units at Torrance and Wilmington will be determined by: Sufficient space for such a project within the refinery Location is appropriate for engineering and safety needs If such available space is not feasible, Existing MHF alkylation units will first have to shut down Demolished to make way for new construction Loss of alkylation output (and reduced production from other refinery process units) will decrease local supply refined products for a period of at least two years Impact on gasoline prices expected to be worse than those associated with the Torrance Refinery ESP explosion 10/5/

40 Timing & Outcome of Permit Process Before replacement work could commence, refiners would need to obtain all necessary permits through the CEQA process Outcome is uncertain It is possible that such permits will ultimately be denied Valero Benicia crude-by-rail permit denial recent example Even if granted, timeline could be extensive Chevron Richmond refinery modernization permit approval, 9+ years Initially submitted to City of Richmond during 2006 Final approval received April /5/

41 Cost and Economic Viability If an HF ban were compelled it is uncertain if either or both companies would elect to make such changes to their facilities Alkylation process unit projects are extremely expensive A recent project approved for the Valero Houston refinery is estimated to cost $300 million for an alkylation unit with a capacity of 13,000 barrel per calendar day Capacity of the alkylation units at Valero Wilmington and PBF Torrance are 22,000 and 24,200 barrels per day capacity, respectively These alkylation unit capacities are each nearly twice the capacity, meaning the potential costs for such projects at the two California refineries could, at a minimum, easily approach or exceed $500 million per facility These estimated costs for such a replacement project could be at or near the value of the refinery when one considers that ExxonMobil sold the entire Torrance refinery to PBF Energy for $537.5 million It would therefore be uncertain as to whether such an expenditure could be justified by either or both companies should an HF alkylation ban ultimately be approved by the SCAQMD 10/5/

44 Energy Commission Responsibilities in an Emergency (Energy Supply Shortage) In a large scale emergency events, California s Office of Emergency Services (OES) becomes California s lead agency The Energy Commission role is to monitor, assess, and provide energy supply expertise (for all energy sources) For petroleum fuels, the Energy Commission becomes transportation fuel supply management center Refining is a privately-owned industry, no utility oversight 10/5/

45 Fuel Set Aside Program Two versions of the Fuel Set Aside Program : Informal and Formal Informal version: short term emergencies o Recently used for the Northern California fires o Energy Commission s role to identify fuel sources for emergency services o Facilitate communications for a normal market transaction Formal version: Used for a prolonged and widespread shortage or emergency o Requires Governor Emergency Order directing FSAP implementation o Energy Commission authorized to redirect fuels as directed by the Chairman of the Energy Commission or the designated representative (Fuel Set Aside Officer / FAO) o Formal fuel requests submitted directly from Cal OES or via the internet o Requests can be made by the public, but no guarantee that fuel will be provided 10/5/
