Petroleum Outlook: Increased Inter-PADD Movements Expected Joanne Shore Energy Information Administration API Annual Pipeline Conference Dallas, Texas April
Introduction Supply-Demand Fundamentals Drive Prices Regional Prices Reflect Regional Supply-Demand Balances & Distribution System Needs Future Regional Supply-Demand Balances

Pipeline & Barge Movements of Light Products* Critical to Regional Supply Note: Light products are gasoline, distillate and jet fuel. Source: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly, 2001
Light Product Demand Growth Expected in All Regions Source: EIA
Potential Increases in Light Product Demand Source: EIA
But How Will Supply Grow Relative to Demand? Source: EIA
Domestic Supply Is Expected To Grow in Aggregate Source: EIA Time Period Annual Average Shutdown Capacity(*) (MB/CD) Growth of Continuously Operating Capacity % % % (*)Historical shutdowns are for years ,
Size of Shutdowns Largest in PADD 2, But More Shutdowns Possible PADDNumber Total Shutdowns Share of 2000 Capacity Average Size (MB/CD)(Percent)(MB/CD) Refinery Shutdowns Source: EIA
Potential Light Product Volume Changes Note: Light products are gasoline, distillate & jet Source: EIA
MTBE Ban Refinery Impacts LOSS OF GASOLINE YIELD Substitute Ethanol for MTBE –But Only Need Half As Much Ethanol for Same Oxygen Remove “Light Ends” to Keep RVP Down Remove “Heavy Ends” to Keep DI Down (CA) BALANCE BY INCREASING: Crude Oil Throughput (utilization increase) “Outside” Clean Streams (Iso-octane, alkylate) Volume of Ethanol Used Product Imports If Available
RFG & Blending Component Imports May Not Increase Source: EIA

Conclusion Demand growth will continue to pressure supply Refinery growth is expected, but tight markets produce varying regional balance dynamics –PADD 3 key incremental supply source –Increasing flows to PADD’s 1 and 2 MTBE bans could pressure distribution system –Loss of gasoline production capability –Loss of imports –More distinct products to move –Increased inter-PADD movements
