The robust refinery production, mirroring thesecond-highest ever daily crude imports last month, came amidrampant expectations of a retail fuel price rise in May andsteadily increasing domestic sales. But as supplies may be piling up faster than demand –already shown in the rise in refined fuel stocks last month –firms could be under pressure to again raise fuel exports,which have eased in recent months.
“Refining firms have very strong incentives to ramp upproduction as the new oil pricing regime gives them moreguaranteed and attractive margins,” said an official with toprefiner Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) based in Beijing. “The June 1 fuel price increases are less than what theyshould have been to reflect global crude costs and the risksfor another price rise are very high, barring any sharp crudefalls this month,” he added. China’s refinery output rose 10.7 percent in May versus ayear earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said. This isthe third monthly rise in seven months, following a hefty 6.0percent rise in April and a mild 0.7 percent increase in March.

Refinery output for the first five months was up 0.9percent on the year to 143.245 million tonnes.
Output of crude oil dipped 1.1 percent to 16.03 milliontonnes, and was down 0.9 percent at 77.78 million tonnes forthe first five months versus the year-ago period. Production of gasoline rose by a strong 30 percent in May,in line with a nearly 50 percent jump in car sales in themonth, while diesel output rose by a mild 9.7 percent lastmonth. ATTRACTIVE MARGINS China revealed details of a new oil pricing regime in earlyMay, saying it would adjust fuel prices when global crudeprices move more than 4 percent from their moving average over22 working days. It also said refiners would enjoy “normal” profits whencrude was under $80 per barrel, but tighter margins when cruderose above $80. “Refiners’ profits have been rising sharply this yearthanks to the new oil pricing mechanism, though it’s stillunder government controls,” the Sinopec official said.
Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) (600028.SS) (SNP.N), Asia’s biggestrefiner, saw its first quarter net profit jump 85 percent froma year earlier. Sinopec said last month that its refinery operation rateshave risen to 90 percent of capacity in April and May andlikely through June, after five months of rising domestic fuelsales. A Reuters poll showed that twelve major plants accountingfor more than a third of China’s capacity will increase theiraverage daily crude run by nearly 10 percent in June from May. DEMAND LAGGING BEHIND CRUDE RUNS Analysts said the hefty refinery production was apparentlyrunning ahead of domestic demand, shown by rising fuelinventories.

Mind you, the change to which I’m referring is not more stringent drug testing, but the widespread use of asterisks, not just in the record books, but in box scores, as well.But why stop there with the asterisks? For those players who have admitted drug use, or lied before Congress, or perjured themselves in front of a grand jury, or denied drug use when all else sharply points to their guilt, or else been caught with their pants down and a needle in, I say give them their bronze busts in the Hall of Fame, but engrave an asterisk on their cap where their team’s emblem should be.And if you want to give visitors to the Hall an interactive experience, offer a free urine sample kiosk right there in the Asterisk Wing And a lie detector test And unlimited heckling.
