План погрузки на сети российских железных дорог сформирован на текущий месяц в размере 3,42 млн т/сут. (102,6 млн т), что выше 3,40 млн т /сут. (105,3 млн т) в марте, сообщил заместитель генерального директора РЖД — начальник Центра фирменного транспортного обслуживания Алексей Шило на брифинге на этой неделе. Тем не менее ожидаемый результат на 2,7% ниже, чем годом ранее.

В РЖД ожидают сохранение тенденций I квартала. «В частности, мы берем в расчет снижение [относительно аналогичного периода прошло года] перевозок угля на 2,2 млн т в южном направлении, строительных грузов — на 1,2 млн т, а кроме того, мы видим уменьшение предъявления черных металлов и, как следствие, сопутствующих грузов — металлолома и железной руды. Пока заявки по поставкам металлургической продукции на внутренний рынок сокращаются, ожидаем потери в этом сегменте в апреле на уровне 1 млн т», — пояснил Шило.

Но во II квартале в компании ожидают улучшения ситуации. Планируется рост перевозок нефтепродуктов, зерновых грузов, а также минеральных удобрений. «Начинают оживать перевозки строительных грузов: во внутрироссийском сообщении сокращение немного уменьшается, видим увеличение предъявления в этом сегменте», — отметил Шило.

Значительное влияние на погрузку окажут объемы экспорта угля. В госкомпании ожидают некоторого восстановления отправок в южном направлении, которые резко снизились после прекращения отгрузок в феврале на Таманский терминал навалочных грузов (ТТНГ), принадлежащий компании «Отэко», ввиду высоких, по мнению грузовладельцев, ставок перевалки. В «Отэко» сообщили, что соглашение о возобновлении поставок достигнуто пока только с Распадской угольной компанией, входящей в «Евраз», с другими добывающими компаниями переговоры еще продолжаются.

Потенциал для прироста погрузки отмечается и на северо-западе, где есть свободные мощности по перевалке зерновых грузов.

Высокий уровень загрузки ожидается на Восточном полигоне, объединяющем Красноярскую, Восточно-Сибирскую, Забайкальскую и Дальневосточную железные дороги. Через так называемое «контрольное сечение КПМИ» (Комплексный план модернизации и расширения магистральной инфраструктуры до 2024 г.) Комсомольск-на-Амуре (Хабаровский край) — Волочаевка (Еврейская автономная обл.) в текущем году планируется перевезти 162,2 млн т различных грузов. Проектная провозная мощность на этом направлении на 31 декабря 2023 г. составила 173 млн т/год, таким образом, гарантированные мощности будут загружены примерно на 93,8%.

Предполагается, что из запланированного объема 111 млн т придется на угольную продукцию, 15 млн т — на контейнерные грузы, 13,4 млн т — на нефтепродукты, 6 млн т — на черные металлы. «По итогам I квартала прирост грузопотока через контрольное сечение составил порядка 2%. В то же время у нас достаточно много грузов идет по Восточному полигону во внутрироссийском сообщении, не доезжая до контрольного сечения КПМИ. Эта погрузка идет более высокими темпами, чем было заложено в планах, в том числе и потому что угольные компании Кузбасса выиграли тендеры на поставку продукции для потребителей из Хабаровского края», — сообщил Шило.

Houston refiners weather hurricane-force winds: Update

Houston refiners weather hurricane-force winds: Update

Adds Calcasieu comment, update on flaring reporting Houston, 17 May (Argus) — Over 2mn b/d of US refining capacity faced destructive winds Thursday evening as a major storm blew through Houston, Texas, but the damage reported so far has been minimal. Wind speeds of up to 78 mph were recorded in northeast Houston and the Houston Ship Channel — home to five refineries with a combined 1.5mn b/d of capacity — faced winds up to 74 mph, according to the National Weather Service . Further South in Galveston Bay, where Valero and Marathon Petroleum refineries total 818,000 b/d of capacity, max wind speeds of 51 mph were recorded. Chevron's 112,000 b/d Pasadena refinery on the Ship Channel just east of downtown Houston sustained minor damage during the storm and continues to supply customers, the company said. ExxonMobil's 564,000 b/d Baytown refinery on the Ship Channel and 369,000 b/d Beaumont, Texas, refinery further east faced no significant impact from the storm and the company continues to supply customers, a spokesperson told Argus . Neither Phillips 66's 265,000 b/d Sweeny refinery southwest of Houston nor its 264,000 b/d Lake Charles refinery 140 miles east in Louisiana were affected by the storm, a spokesperson said. There was no damage at Motiva's 626,000 b/d Port Arthur, Texas, refinery according to the company. Calcasieu's 136,000 b/d refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana, was unaffected by the storm and operations are normal, the refiner said. Marathon Petroleum declined to comment on operations at its 593,000 b/d Galveston Bay refinery. Valero, LyondellBasell, Pemex, Total and Citgo did not immediately respond to requests for comment on operations at their refineries in the Houston area, Port Arthur and Lake Charles. A roughly eight-mile portion of the Houston Ship Channel from the Sidney Sherman Bridge to Greens Bayou closed from 9pm ET 16 May to 1am ET today when two ships brokeaway from their moorings, and officials looked in a potential fuel oil spill, according to the US Coast Guard. The portion that closed provides access to Valero's 215,000 b/d Houston refinery, LyondellBasell's 264,000 b/d Houston refinery and Chevron's Pasadena refinery. Emissions filings with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are yet to indicate the extent of any flaring and disruption to operations in the Houston area Thursday evening, but will likely be reported later Friday and over the weekend. Gulf coast refiners ran their plants at average utilization rates of 93pc in the week ended 10 May, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), up by two percentage points from the prior week as the industry heads into the late-May Memorial Day weekend and beginning of peak summer driving season. The next EIA data release on 22 May will likely reveal any dip in Gulf coast refinery throughputs resulting from the storm.

Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul reallocates gas supply

Sao Paulo, 17 May (Argus) — Natural gas supply in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul had to be redistributed because of the historic floods in the state, with diesel potentially making its way back as an power plant fuel to leave more gas available for LPG production. Gasbol, the natural gas transportation pipeline that supplies Brazil's south, does not have capacity to meet demand from the 201,000 b/d Alberto Pasqualini refinery (Refap), state-controlled Petrobras' Canoas thermal power plant and natural gas distributors in the region, according to Petrobras' then-chief executive Jean Paul Prates said earlier this week. The Santa Catarina state gas distributor has adjusted its own local network to meet peak demand in neighboring Rio Grande do Sul via the pipeline transportation network. The Canoas thermal plant is running at its minimum generation at 150GW, with 61pc coming from its gas turbine. The plant was brought on line to reinstate proper power supply after transmission lines in the south were affected by the floods. Petrobras plans to use a diesel engine to increase power generation. The current approved fuel cost (CVU) for diesel in the Canoas plant is of R1,115.29/MWh. Petrobras is also operating Refap at 59pc of its maximum installed capacity, at 119,506 b/d. Heavy showers in Rio Grande do Sul since 29 April brought unprecedented flooding to the state, causing a humanitarian crisis and infrastructure damage. The extreme weather has left 154 people dead, 98 missing and over 540,000 people displaced, according to the state's civil defense.

Houston Ship Channel open after storms

Houston, 17 May (Argus) — The Houston Ship Channel reopened to all traffic around 1am ET Friday after strong storms closed a portion of the waterway late Thursday, according to the US Coast Guard. A roughly eight-mile portion of the Houston Ship Channel from the Sidney Sherman Bridge to Greens Bayou closed from 9pm ET to 1am ET due to two ship breakaways and a probe into a potential fuel oil spill, the Coast Guard said. That span of the channel offers access to Chevron's 112,000 b/d Pasadena refinery, Valero's 215,000 b/d Houston refinery and LyondellBasell's 264,000 b/d Houston refinery, as well as Targa's Galena Park LPG marine terminal and Kinder Morgan's refined product terminal in Galena Park. A storm brought winds up to 74mph to the Houston area on Thursday night, according to the US National Weather Service.

Japanese bank Mizuho boosts support for H2, ammonia

Japanese bank Mizuho boosts support for H2, ammonia

Tokyo, 17 May (Argus) — Japanese bank Mizuho Financial aims to provide ¥2 trillion ($12.8bn) in financial support for domestic and overseas cleaner fuel projects by 2030 to support Japan's plan to build a hydrogen supply chain. Private-sector Mizuho is offering financing to low-carbon hydrogen, ammonia and e-methane projects related to production, import, distribution and development of hydrogen carriers. Mizuho said it has in the past offered project financing for large-scale overseas low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia manufacturing projects, as well as transition loans. Japan is focusing on cleaner fuel use in the power sector and hard-to-abate industries, as part of its drive to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Japanese firms are getting involved in overseas hydrogen projects because domestic production is bound to be comparatively small and costly. They are looking to co-fire ammonia at coal-fired power generation plants to cut CO2 emissions and examining use of the fuel as a hydrogen carrier . Japanese companies have also partnered with several overseas firms on e-methane. Mizuho has to date offered $1bn for cleaner fuel projects. The bank has set a goal to accelerate the setting up of a clean fuel supply chain by addressing the financial challenge faced by projects requiring large investments. Mizuho has attempted to help Japan's decarbonisation push by tightening biomass and coal financing policies. Mizuho has also stopped investing in new coal-fired power projects, including existing plant expansions. The bank has a plan to reduce the ¥300bn credit available for coal-fired power development projects by half by the April 2030-March 2031 fiscal year and to zero by 2040-41.
