European Oil and Gas Monthly: September 2022

Oil prices continued to decline in September, reaching USD 90.6/bbl, from USD 97.7/bbl in August. Demand worries are once again the most significant factor, in our view. Supporting the hypothesis of weakening demand, the WOOD refining margin has fallen to USD 18.2/bbl, its lowest level since March 2022 but still USD 7.2/bbl better than the monthly average. Diesel cracks rose significantly but petrol cracks fell sharply and are now below average for the first time since January. Petrochemical margins continued to sink, particularly olefins, with propylene margins negative. The margin declines are due to oversupply, in our view.
