EU refined product demand profile Distillate demand (Diesel/ Gasoil & Kerosene) increasing Continued but slower decline in gasoline demand Source: Purvin & Gertz, UK refining study
EU Refined product supply demand balance EU demand 304 EU demand 102 The EU currently net imports some 41mte of Diesel & Gasoil which is projected to grow to 54mte by 2030 Source: Purvin & Gertz, UK refining study
Evolution of Marine fuel sulphur to 2020 (2025) UK and Baltic Emission Control Areas IMO Marpol (annex VI), key dates: 1 st July 2010: ECA s 1.00% max S 1 st Jan 2012: Global Marine 3.50% max S 1 st Jan 2015: ECA s 0.10% max S 1 st Jan 2020: All Marine 0.50% max S Subject to review in 2018 which could defer to 2025
EU Marine Fuel consumption EU gasoil deficit post 2020 Up to 83mte If Marine included?? 41mte Current deficit ECA fuel ~10mte, HS fuel ~42mte Source : Europia / PFC energy / P&G In 2015: ECA fuel becomes 0.10% max sulphur In 2020: If HS fuel is required as Gasoil, or blends of Gasoil post 2020, this will add more to the overall EU Gasoil deficit, but overall demand will fall.
The refiners challenge Crude oil: typically much heavier than product demand 100 80 60 40 LPG Naphtha/gasoline Kero/jet Gasoil/Diesel Heavy fuel oil 20 0 Brent Iran light Nigerian Russian Kuwait Demand Use available crudes: Adapt to quality variations Adapt to different crudes on a day-to-day basis Produce desired products: All products must be on-spec All must be produced at the same time Nothing can be thrown away! And minimise energy, GHG, environmental impacts and costs Source CONCAWE
Typical refinery processes Crude residue Catalytic cracking (FCC) versus Hydrocracking?
The impact on refining? Unit throughput (Mt) 60 0 These unit throughput trends assume that gasoline exports and distillate imports remain constant Cat Cracking (FCC) Hydrocracking, Residue HDS and other conversion Hydrogen -60 2008 Base case 2010 SECA bunker 1.0%S 2015 2010 SECA bunker 0.1%S 1.0%S 2020 General bunker 0.5%S 2025 2030 Throughput of gasoline-producing FCC units drops dramatically, due to declining gasoline demand. Significant capacity additions required of diesel-producing units (Hydrocracking), Residue hydro-desulphurisation, Residue conversion (Coking) and Hydrogen production units - Driven by IMO bunker sulphur reduction and growing demand share of distillates - Requires massive investment in new unit capacity & increases GHG! Note: Draft graphs and figures from CONCAWE work in progress
EU refineries however are facing increasing environmental legislation $/bbl Net Cash Margin after sustaining capital The figure does not include FQD7a, FQD other items and the Energy Efficiency Directive. Article 7a could, for example, add up to a further $2/bbl of cost at UK locations. Circa 11.4 billion is estimated for UK refineries only to comply with UK and EU legislation to 2030.

The way forward a question of balance For Refining: In the UK our DECC s UK Refining Strategy must have real outcomes Call for meaningful Refining Fitness Checks by the EU Commission to inform European Policy and before potentially damaging new regulation enacted e.g. Fuels Quality Directive (FQD) Article 7a and Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) The UK and Europe needs a strong base of refineries investing for the long term to maintain supply resilience. For Marpol: The IMO 2018 review should, based on technology available at the time, compare: i. The cost (including the impact to supply resilience) to the oil industry of providing fuel at 0.50 mass % sulphur, and ii. The additional CO2 released associated with manufacturing these fuels, with iii. The cost of providing sulphur abatement equipment on board ships and/or sulphur trading schemes This should show that the cost to the oil industry is substantially higher than providing on board abatement measures and that higher sulphur fuels may continue to be used while at the same time meeting the emission levels set out in MARPOL Annex VI.
