| Industry Trends Support Strong Margins Industry margins to stay higher for longer Result World oil demand growth continues 2007 estimates 1.6 million barrels per day increase (1.9% growth) Industry refinery expansions and new construction costing much more and taking much longer Since 2004, prices of steel up 74% and heavy-wall reactors up 133% and lead times longer (heavy-wall reactors 36+ months) Gulf Coast skilled labor costs up 60%, but productivity down 35% from 2004 Refineries more complex and units more interdependent than ever Results in longer turnarounds and maintenance periods Downtime at one unit impacts refinery-wide throughput More stringent regulations reduce system flexibility tremendously Product specifications and regulations more difficult to meet Reduced ability to blend off-spec products |
