1、,高盛集团,2012 年 8 月 28 日全球能源市场周评研究报告热带风暴“艾萨克”逼近墨西哥湾，裂解价差大幅上升在原油价格走低之际 RBOB 和取暖油裂解价差大幅上升，因为热带风暴艾萨克(Isaac)在登陆新奥尔良之前会途经墨西哥湾。虽然外界将艾萨克与卡特里娜飓风相提并论，但预计艾萨克的威力要小得多，对原油和天然气生产的影响较为有限，此时最主要的担忧体现在炼油领域。有关委内瑞拉国家石油公司(PDVSA)在旗下 Amuay 炼油厂爆炸失火后正寻求从墨西哥湾炼油企业采购汽油和柴油的消息也进一步支撑了成品油裂解价差走高。就天然气领域而言，由于近年来页岩气生产强劲增长，墨西哥湾生产的重要性已有所降低

2、，我们预计需求降低将是艾萨克带来的主要影响。,虽然艾萨克威力不及卡特里娜，但仍可能导致洪灾预计热带风暴艾萨克即将于新奥尔良登陆，人们将它与 2005 年造成巨大破坏的卡特里娜飓风相提并论。不过，当前预测认为艾萨克登陆时将是一级飓风，威力不及卡特里娜（卡特里娜登陆时是三级飓风，横扫墨西哥湾时的强度是五级）。不过，当时由卡特里娜造成的那种严重洪灾（此为当地炼油厂毁损的主因）以及整体破坏仍可能成为未来几天的主要风险，因为预计艾萨克带来的降雨与卡特里娜相仿、甚至更强。因此，虽然艾萨克可能只是一级飓风、不会对墨西哥湾生产企业带来十分严重的影响，但是艾萨克可能造成强降雨，令市场转而担忧在库存仍处极低水平时

3、出现产品供应缺口。有报道称，委内瑞拉国家石油公司在旗下Amuay 炼油厂 8 月 25 日爆炸失火后正寻求从墨西哥湾炼油企业采购汽油和柴,Stefan Wieler,CFA(212)357-7486 Johan Spetz(212)357-9225 高盛集团David Greely(212)902-2850 高盛集团,油，这一消息也进一步支撑了成品油市场。艾萨克对天然气需求的影响可能大于对供应的影响在天然气领域，由于近年来页岩气生产强劲增长，墨西哥湾生产的重要性已有所降低，我们预计需求降低将是艾萨克带来的主要影响。虽然在当前预测正确的情况下未来几日可能有更多的产能关闭，但是我们预计这对生产基础

4、设施造成的长期影响较为有限。随着风暴登陆，对需求的冲击可能会开始显现出来。当前预测与 2005 年卡特里娜侵袭后的情形相仿，即此后一段较长时间内管道供气将减少15 亿立方英尺/天，因为炼油、石化以及和其它工业企业用户均停止了生产。重要的一点是，艾萨克还将导致气温转凉，降低了空调用电需求，进而降低了燃气发电厂的用气需求。投资者不应视本报告为作出投资决策的唯一因素。有关分析师的申明和其他重要信息，见信息披露附录，或参阅,高盛集团,高盛全球经济、商品和策略研究,2,2012 年 8 月 28 日,全球,Hedging and trading recommendationsPetroleumHedgi

28、its way through the Gulf of Mexico,heading towards NewOrleans.It is forecast to strengthen and make landfall as a category 1 hurricane late on Tuesday,August 28,or early on Wednesday,August 29.While significant oil and gas production capacity inthe path of the storm has been shut down,the greater co

29、ncern lies in the risk to refining capacityand the price of gasoline and diesel,the inventories of which remain at very low levels.This isreflected in yesterdays(August 27)price action where RBOB and Heating Oil cracks ralliedsharply amidst falling crude oil prices as refineries along the US Gulf Co

30、ast began to shut down inadvance of the storm.The product market was further supported by reports that PDVSA,the stateoil company of Venezuela,is trying to source gasoline and diesel from US Gulf Coast refiners inthe aftermath of the fire that broke out at its Amuay refinery on Saturday(see Exhibit

31、1).Tropical storm Isaac is expected to make landfall near New Orleans on close to the seventhanniversary of the devastating Hurricane Katrina,inviting parallels to the 2005 hurricane.However,current forecasts call for Isaac to be less powerful than Katrina,which was a category 3hurricane when it mad

32、e landfall,and a category 5 at one point over the Gulf.In addition to slowerwinds,this difference in strength will mean less storm surge associated with Isaac.While Katrinabrought a storm surge of up to 16 feet to Louisiana and up to 27 feet to Mississippi,the stormsurge from Isaac is expected to be

33、 6-12 feet at its highest,according to the National HurricaneCenter(NHC).However,severe flooding,which was a major cause of the damage to the regionsrefineries,as well as the overall devastation to the region,from Katrina,remains an important riskin coming days as the rainfall from Isaac is expected

34、 to be heavier than Katrina.Specifically,Katrina brought 8-10 inches of rain to Louisiana,and the highest rainfall recorded in the state wasaround 15 inches.Current forecasts for Isaac call for 7-14 inches of rain,with maximum amountsof 20 inches in some areas.However,the very dry conditions in the

35、Midwest in recent monthshave led to low water levels in the Mississippi River,which could help absorb the rainfall to someextent.Exhibit 1:RBOB cracks spike as UGSC refiners brace for Hurricane Isaac and exportdemand increasesNYMEX RBOB Brent,$/gal0.500.450.400.350.300.25,1-Aug-12,8-Aug-12,15-Aug-12

37、 unloadings at the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port(LOOP)have been suspendedsince Monday at 9am,but deliveries continue from the onshore storage facility for now,accordingto the company website.While production and imports might continue to be impacted for a couplemore days after the hurricane has passed

38、,crude demand has also been impacted with at least1.25 million b/d of refining capacity currently being shut-in in Louisiana and Alabama.It isimportant to notice that PADD 3 refinery capacity was hit much harder by Hurricane Katrina thancrude oil production(see Exhibit 2),mainly due to the flooding.

39、Consequently,while Isaac mightnot bring as much damage to GoM production facilities as it is only a category 1 hurricane,Isaacis expected to bring strong rainfalls,shifting the market focus to potential product shortfalls asproduct inventories remain at critically low levels.As a result,NYMEX RBOB a
