Sorry for the delay - working Tues-Fri puts a crimp in my fun....
I'm sure that everyone that's interested already knows that crude prices have fallen to about $70/bbl this week, following the period covered by this report. From snippets I caught while on my trip, it appears that the gasoline supply was unexpectedly up and this was a major factor in the crude price decline.
On to the numbers for the week ending 4/28/06...
Domestic crude production was 5,122,000 bbls/day, down slightly (5,000 bbls/day) from the previous week.
Crude oil imports (excluding SPR) were 9,811,000 bbls/day, down 53,000 bbls/day. Imports of all petroleum products, including crude, was 12,737,000 bbls/day.
Refinery crude oil inputs were 15,043,000 bbls/day. Refinery utilization was 88.8%, the highest since Jan.
According to the EIA, the world average price for curde oil on 4/28/06 was $66.85 vs $71.80 for WTI-Cushing.
Now for jet fuel numbers....
Domestic production was 1,429,000 bbls/day while another 262,000 bbls/day was imported.
Jet feul stockpiles stood at 41,574,000 bbls on 4/28/06, while jet fuel supplied was 1,665,000 bbls/day. The 4-week average demand was up 4.1% over the comparable period last year.
For prices, let's start with the Platt's data for regions of the world. This is per gallon FOB the refinery.
Europe & CIS $2.112
North America $2.134
Asia & Oceania $2.081
Middle East & Africa $2.037
Latin & Central America $2.128
For the domestic market, the spot prices were:
NY Harbor $2.180
Gulf Coast $2.165
Los Angeles $2.310
WTI-Cushing $70.38/bbl
The closing price of WTI-Cushing on 6/5/06 was $70.19/bbl
Finally, the usual chart which has been updated with the April average spot prices.
