Refinery project postponements, cancellations and a long-term energy strategy.

March 20, 2009

Poor market delays completion of refinery expansion | www.chron.com

Motiva will delay by more than a year the date for completing a $7 billion expansion of its Port Arthur refinery, becoming the latest U.S. refiner to postpone a project amid bleak market conditions. Valero, ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil, have also announced delays and suspensions of refinery upgrade projects. This is not only a domestic phenomenon: Oman has placed on hold their Duqm refinery and petrochemical complex, and Saudi Aramco has delayed the Jubail and Yambu refineries and the Swedish refiner Preem AB announced today that is holding its coker project at Lysekil.  Is it all doom and gloom? Not really. In the oil & gas and refining industries management should have a long term vision and many projects are going forward pursuing long-term strategies. It is meaningful that, on the same day of the announcement of the Port Arthur refinery project, Shell announced $31 billion 2009 investments.
