菲利普斯的经济学66乙烷饼干仍保持竞争力，尽管石脑油价格较低

根据Argusmedia.com的报道，根据菲利普斯66号首席执行官蒂姆·泰勒（Tim Taylor）的报道，由于全球消费者需求稳定，由于全球消费者需求稳定，聚乙烯利润率将保持强劲。泰勒在科罗拉多州的Credit Suisse Energy Summit上说，虽然聚乙烯边缘在2014年达到42美分/磅的峰值，并在2015年降至33美分/磅，供应开始平衡。“我们看到消费市场很强大，工业市场较弱，但是CP Chem主要接触到那些消费市场，我们认为，基于供求，在未来几年内，现在在化学业务中仍然是一项非常好的需求业务平衡，”泰勒说。该公司在美国墨西哥湾沿岸的1.5万名TPA新乙烷饼干（包括聚乙烯单元）仍按计划于2017年中开始运营。他补充说，尽管石脑油价格较低，但该项目的经济性仍然在全球范围内具有竞争力。泰勒说：“如果石脑油和乙烷散布扩大，那个饼干就有很大的好处。”“即使是今天的价格，它仍然很好。”泰勒说，乙烯利润率仍然远高于新乙烯饼干的资本成本。泰勒说：“资本成本已经上升，但是今天这些资本仍然高于资本成本，我认为大约12％左右。” "The longer-term aspiration on that project would be in the mid-teens, but you've got room if that compresses." Upstream markets are more challenging, and Phillips 66 subscribes to the "lower for longer" outlook for global crude, Taylor said. In the US, NGL midstream operator DCP lowered its breakeven cash flow for NGLs from 60¢/USG to 35¢/USG. The partnership, a joint venture between Phillips 66 and Spectra, was hard-hit by lower commodity prices and cut costs to strengthen its balance sheet. "With the actions now we're looking at 35¢/USG breakeven," for NGLs, he said. "If prices recover, when they do recover, you'll see uplift in that business because they will still have that commodity exposure going forward." Source: Courtesy Argus Media
