Stock Gain/Loss HedgingDubai Price from 2008 - 2009
• When oil price collapsed from 140$/BBL to 40$/BBL in 2008, many refineries faced severemany refineries faced severe stock loss.
• Cost of crude inventory at the
Year end stock gain/loss is hedged with 70$ - 85$ collar
ending of 3Q/09 is at 70$/BBL
• We believe Dubai price could soften from the current level of 77$ to 70$/BBL by the year end. However, in case of a sharp rebound in world economy, oil price could maintain its uptrend
Net profit from the first 9M/09 is secured by the collar hedging
price could maintain its uptrend but price should not climb beyond 85$/BBL
• PTTAR entered a zero cost collar hedging to prevent inventory loss at year-end for 50% of our exposure (~2 5 Million barrel)
