Tesoro reported that earnings from continuing operations fell to $50 million from $58 million the year before, as strong operating performance was offset in part by higher interest charge and expenses related to the pending Western Refining acquisition. Refining operating income swung to a profit of $34 million from a loss of $93 million last year. The improvement primarily resulted from a negative inventory adjustment the year before, but market conditions also improved slightly, while Tesoro o...
OPEC's production cuts and strong demand growth have 2017 crude fundamentals in their best shape since oil prices crashed two years ago. The consensus outlook is that fundamentals are now strong enough to remain healthy even after OPEC's cuts lapse. This might have been possible a few months ago, but the odds of this scenario playing out have markedly worsened since. The reason is that major increases in shale activity now have U.S. production firmly on a path of rapid growth, even if rig counts...

OPEC's announced production cuts this week represent a positive near-term development for world oil markets, removing more than 1 million barrels per day from an oversupplied system. Even after factoring in the inevitable U.S. shale response to higher crude prices, OPEC's cuts point to a meaningful supply deficit next year. Consequently, we are raising our 2017 WTI price to $60 per barrel, up from $50 previously. Improved near-term fundamentals come at a cost, however. Even a modest recovery in ...

Tesoro announced plans to acquire Western Refining for 0.4350 shares of Tesoro or $37.30 per share based on the Nov. 16 closing price. Including the assumption of $1.7 billion in debt and the $605 million market value of Western’s non-controlling interest in Western Refining Logistics, the transaction represents an enterprise value of $6.4 billion. We plan to adjust our fair value estimate for Western to reflect the offer price as we see the deal as likely to close. While Tesoro is paying a p...
For global energy markets, the potential knock-on impacts of a Donald Trump presidency could be meaningful in a few areas. With respect to U.S. oil and gas producers, we can say that the tail risk for regulation of hydraulic fracturing and methane emissions is now somewhat lower. Thus far, the Environmental Protection Agency has maintained that the systemic environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing is benign. A Trump-led EPA is less likely to reverse this view than a Hillary Clinton-led EPA. ...
Tesoro reported a sharp drop in third-quarter earnings to $170 million from $759 million a year ago as result of deterioration in refining market conditions and a return to more normalized retail marketing environment. Refining operating income fell to $52 million from $899 million last year on a drop in the Tesoro index to $12.45/barrel from $23.09/bbl last year and a decline in the capture rate to 73% from 84%. Higher renewable identification number costs contributed to the deterioration in ca...
In a somewhat surprising development, OPEC members have tentatively agreed to a production target of between 32.5 million and 33.3 million barrels per day, representing a reduction of up to 700 mb/d from current production levels of 33.2 mmb/d. Oil prices rallied on the news, but our view for continued low prices of $50/bbl in 2017 (detailed in our Aug. 26 report) remains unchanged, as we do not believe the potential reduction will have a meaningful sustainable impact on oil prices. While the lo...
Crude markets have tightened a good deal in recent months, as strong oil demand growth and supply issues have pulled forward the industry recovery by about a year compared with the outlook we published in April. Even so, 2017 fundamentals are far from robust from an oil price perspective, and don't appear supportive of prices moving much above the $50 per barrel threshold. Another large uptick in rig additions in the U.S. could be enough to eliminate near-term inventory draws altogether, which i...
