		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a sharp drop in crude stockpiles. However, this piece of positive data was somewhat tempered by reports of increases in refined product supplies like gasoline and distillate fuels. The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 4.7 million barrels drop in crude inventories for the week ending September 11, far more than analyst expectations. This is the second successive week in which the crude drawdown has been more than originally anticipated. Major contributing factor to the inventory drop was a fall in crude oil imports. Current crude oil stocks, at 332.8 million barrels, are 14.1% above the year-earlier level and remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year (depicted in the first EIA chart ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) joins hands with Darling International Inc. (DAR) for a joint venture, which will build a facility for renewable diesel. The facility would be adjacent to Valero’s St. Charles refinery near Norco, Louisiana, and will be capable of producing over 10,000 barrels per day or 135 million gallons per year of renewable diesel. Valero is the largest refiner in North America and Darling International Inc. is the largest publicly traded food processing by-products recycling company in the United States. Both the companies are jointly seeking a loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the project. While the loan application process has been initiated, the project is in the early phase of its life. Both the companies are expecting positive results from the loan application ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texas-based Valero Energy Corp. (VLO), the largest independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products in the U.S., plans to close a few loss-making units in its various refineries. This includes the coking and gasifying complex (which processes a type of heavy crude oil and petroleum coke) at its Delaware City refinery. The company will also indefinitely idle a gasoline-making FCC unit and a coker at its Corpus Christi refinery in Texas. Valero seeks to close these units to save costs and to shift focus to higher-margin products. The company also plans to axe at least 150 employees and 100 contractual workers. Management said that these moves were necessary to improve the profitability of Valero&#8217;s refining system. This is the second time that Valero has closed operations to improve profitability.

		<description><![CDATA[The largest oil refiner in the U.S., Valero Energy Corporation (VLO), is deferring its search for overseas acquisitions following the decline of an acquisition stake in a Netherlands refinery. The company had sought acquisition of Dow Chemical’s (DOW) 45% interest in the TRN refinery for an enterprise value of approximately $725 million. But the refinery’s major stake holder, Total SA (TOT), turned down Valero’s offer by exercising its right of first refusal. Valero wanted to confine the European diesel market by capturing this acquisition opportunity. On the other hand, yesterday, the company closed one of its refineries in San Nicolas, Aruba, indefinitely. Despite the refinery’s capability of processing low-cost heavy sour crude oil, it was suffering from low product margins. These factors point to our weak outlook for near-term refinery ]]></description>

Of these, the company’s sole UK refinery – Stanlow in Ellesmere, Cheshire – is the most important. The other two are German refineries in Hamburg and Heide. Shell is also looking to sell its Montreal East refinery in Canada, which has a capacity of 121,000 barrels per day. The Stanlow refinery has a capacity of 272,000 barrels a day (producing about a sixth of UK’s petrol output) and employs 1,000 people and 800 contractors. The two German refineries have an aggregate capacity of about 200,000 barrels per day and employ about 500 people each.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Valero Marketing and Supply Co., a subsidiary of oil refiner and marketer Valero Energy Corp. (VLO), won an aviation fuel supply contract worth up to $230.5 million from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency. The Pentagon said that Valero will provide the fuel to the Defense Energy Support Center, which manages bulk fuel purchases on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense. The contract, which ends on Oct 30, 2010, will require Valero to ship the fuel from its 170,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Benicia, California. We view this contract as a positive for Valero as this will bring much needed cash flows for the company in an otherwise gloomy economic environment. However, a combination of weak demand, excess production capacity, and narrowing crude quality spreads continue to weigh on Valero’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team Quite simply, this is not a good time to be in the business of refining oil in the United States. The obvious reason for this is the continuing recession which has led to lower demand for gasoline and other refined products. With the summer driving season past the halfway point, having the word ’staycation’ become commonplace is not good news for the refiners. But that’s not all. And it goes well beyond simple economic downturn. There are other factors at work. And unfortunately, many have escaped the notice of many investors and much of Wall Street. While everyone was focused on the sharp rise recently of the price of WTI crude oil, other things have been conspiring against domestic refiners of all sorts. ]]></description>
