Pakistan Oil & Gas: Crack spreads reacting to energy crunch,
- Refining margins continue to tread on the same path with spreads for HSD/MOGAS remaining at USD2.4/3.6/bbl for first fifteen days of Sep’21 where HSD spreads rebound sharply from USD0.54/bbl for last fifteen days of Aug’21
- Even though export of MOGAS from China and India has declined, the cracks continue to trade in the range of USD4-6/bbl as demand of the product is facing a slower recovery compared to HSD which is mainly used in industries and industrial transport
- HSFO cracks though remain negative, a significant recovery has been witnessed as recent news reports indicate increased demand from shipping sector while increasing gas prices have also forced countries to shift their power production to HSFO.
- For local refiners, improvement in HSFO cracks is a significant positive with 25-30% of the product slate belonging to HSFO however the cracks still remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels hence the pressure on profitably is expected to continue.
