Platts Energy Inventory Survey Plus Hornsby & Company Inventory Assessment – February 7th.

cwhornsby — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:53:56 +0000

The latest weekly stats, the Platts survey for the week ending February 3 calls for a 2.25 million barrel gain in crude oil supplies, a 200,000 barrel decline in distillate stocks, and a 1.25 million barrel increase in gasoline inventories. The latest Reuters survey calls for a 2.6 million barrel rise in crude oil supplies, a 600,000 barrel fall in distillate stocks, and a 200,000 barrel gain in gasoline inventories. With regard to crude oil, our cursory cut at the data would suggest, assuming steady production and refinery runs in combination with a slight decline in gross imports, a stock build somewhat less than consensus expectations. We estimate that implied distillate demand should have rebounded last week to 3.8+ MMB/D despite the weather as diesel demand reverts to our expected underlying mean. With steady supply, however, our scenario would still imply little change in total distillate inventories last week. For gasoline, we would look for a rebound in implied demand back above 8.0 MMB/D, with gross imports retracing from the previous week’s average exceeding 1.0 MMB/D. Nonetheless, with steady refinery output our arithmetic would imply a stock build in between the Reuters and Platts estimates, i.e. around 700,000 barrels.

Analysts and traders expect government data scheduled for release Thursday to show a smaller-than-normal draw in gas inventories, as mild weather across the U.S. continues to curb demand for gas-fired heating.

If the storage estimate is correct, inventories as of Jan. 27 will total 2.972 trillion cubic feet, about 26% above the five-year average and 25% above last year’s level for the same week.

The latest Platts survey for the week ending January 27 is looking for a 3.0 million barrel build in crude stocks, a 1.2 million barrel draw in distillate supplies, and a 1.0 million barrel gain in gasoline inventories. Our cut at the numbers would suggest a somewhat smaller crude oil build than what the market is looking for but a more modest distillate stock decline, and a slight fall in gasoline stocks in contrast to consensus expectations of a build.
