Health and Safety Conversations

Joining us for this weeks conversation is the highly respected and regarded Ken Bloch. Ken speaks to us about process safety, gives us some insights into what he has learned during his extensive time in the process safety field and reminds us of the consequences when things go wrong. The Bhopal disaster happened nearly 40 years ago yet it is rarely spoken about in safety circles. Thousands of deaths, many more people left with serious long term injuries and illnesses this is the very human face of catastrophic failures in a safety system. Kenneth Bloch is a senior EHS professional who specializes in petrochemical industry incident investigation and failure analysis. He has nearly 40 years of experience in plant maintenance, Process Safety Management, technical, and operations roles. He speaks regularly at AFPM, API, and AIChE process safety symposiums about experiences that help prevent recurring process safety failures throughout the manufacturing industry. Ken is the author of the book Rethinking Bhopal which uses modern references to chronicle the sequence of events that led to history's worst industrial disaster. He graduated with honors from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, with an Environmental Science Degree in 1988.

Anti-fuel producer rhetoric is high- Thursday meeting was constructive, hopefully some good outcomes- Regulatory uncertainty - what keeps industry up at night? Regulatory uncertainty was the number one answer.- How is an industry supposed to prepare and comply with regulations when they are habitually late or unclear?- Tailpipe emissions standards basically mean 17% EVs- California wants to ban ICE by 2035! - Crude is to refining industry, what flour is to a baker.- Refining has much smaller margins historically - they are NOT big oil- Refining industry doesn't like crude oil prices where they are now.- Crude oil has no value without refining. - Educating public on role of refining in gasoline. Without refining there is no energy security. pressing folks to understand that for a long time.- 60% of gasoline price is crude oil. Refining is a little higher component of gasoline price than it has been. 25% range, according to EIA. The rest is marketing. - Of the 150,000 gasoline stations, 95% are independently operated, not the company that is the brand name on the station.- How to make the message stick? Historically people have taken it for granted that gasoline is less than a bottle of water and that you can take kids to school, heat houses for granted. Now people are taking notice. - Loss of refining capacity in US. Why? regulatory policies. 40% of all shutdowns, RFS contributing to shutdowns. People are more open to having these conversations now that gasoline is so expensive.- We take responsibility to provide energy very seriously- Producing and refining energy is important to our country. lifeblood of communities. we need to produce products that the world needs in a clearer, safer way and they are doing it. - Should talk about evolutions not transitions- Shouldn't transition until we are actually ready- Right now folks are talking about the margins we are making. A couple years ago we were talking about negative crude. Our guys were losing millions of dollars. Refiners and manufacturers couldn't shut down, had to go to work and produce fuels and petrochemicals that were needed to get through Covid era even when experiencing huge losses.- policies they admin CAN adopt that will bring down prices but that won't come through hostile policies. President should get out in front of a refinery and say "this industry is important" and "adopt policies to further US independence and good things will follow."

US oil refiners are pushing back against the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to deny small refinery exemptions and other aspects of the latest biofuel mandate. They argue the policy will force some plants to close and increase gasoline prices further at a time the Biden administration is looking to ease pain at the pump for US drivers. In its long-awaited Renewable Fuel Standard proposal, EPA adjusted down blending volumes for 2020 and 2021 to take into account the severe drop in transportation fuel demand resulting from coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. Refiners report gasoline and diesel demand inching back up to over 90% of 2019 levels, but a full recovery is not expected until late in 2022. Platts senior writer Janet McGurty spoke with Derrick Morgan, senior vice president for federal and regulatory affairs at the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, about the small refinery waivers, RIN market volatility and how refiners view the latest blending targets.

We had the pleasure of visiting with Chet Thompson, President and CEO of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) for this week's session. Chet joined us live from Washington where he and his team are working relentlessly to advocate for domestic refiners, petrochemical and midstream companies as well as educating policymakers and the public on the value their members provide for our nation and the world. We had an engaging and timely discussion given the recent proposed tax increases on American refined energy and plastics as well as just the rapidly changing backdrop of rising energy prices globally.Our discussion begins with some background on AFPM and how they have grown since they were founded in 1902. Currently representing 60+ member companies and 300+ associate members, their focus is on policies, regulations, and legal challenges impacting the downstream sector. As part of their education efforts, AFPM has an entire campaign dedicated to displaying the role petrochemicals play in all of our lives, "We Make Progress." We covered the whole waterfront of issues with Chet and came away super impressed with the depth of what AFPM is doing for the energy transition debate.​​​​To kick off the session, the TPH crew shared current news and themes from this week: Mike Bradley ​​​​​shared energy commodity and equity weekly performance, fertilizer prices vs. Bloomberg's agricultural index and continued his segment of top energy headlines from the last 48 hours. Matt Portillo shared key takeaways after spending time on the road in NYC and Boston and gave us some teasers from his GM analyst day visit. Matthew Blair joined to set the petrochemical stage for our discussion with Chet and Colin Fenton compared the current $80 oil price to oil prices around the world and the odds that we reach $100 crude.----Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

A surge of Saudi crude is heading for US ports, the result of the OPEC heavyweight slashing its April selling prices during the thick of its price war with Russia last month. Oil-state senators are calling on the White House to impose tariffs or other trade barriers to stop the deliveries. So far President Trump has not addressed the looming imports, but Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette called it a case of free-market trade that happens to benefit US refiners. We spoke with two officials from AFPM, the trade group in Washington that represents those refiners. They've been lobbying the White House to resist pressure for tariffs on crude imports. Derrick Morgan, AFPM's senior vice president for federal affairs, explains the case they made to the White House against blocking foreign oil imports and why US refiners need this particular crude, even though the country already has a glut of domestic barrels searching for storage. We also look at the rough economic conditions for US refiners right now as gasoline demand has been cut in half and the timeline for states lifting stay-at-home orders remains uncertain. Susan Grissom, AFPM's chief industry analyst, tells us how US refiners are retooling their yields to focus less on gasoline than they have in the past and how that could be a long-term shift.
