Future Challenges• Market Issues
– Growing dependency on export markets– Market saturation in traditional markets; will have to extend reach to markets where
U.S. has fewer advantages/more competition– Risk of global refining capacity overbuilding
• Importing countries – Asia/LatAm/Africa and exporting countries - ME/India/Russia
• Demand Growth – Both Domestic and Global
• Competition From Alternatives– Direct substitutes – biofuels/CNG/LNG/CTL/GTL– Move to Electrical Vehicles (EV’s)
• Regulations – Stifle demand/increase costs/limit access/distort markets– Increased regulation in other regions can advantage U.S. refiners
• Tighter fuel specifications in developing countries provide opportunities• IMO LS Bunker rules (2020) will be a substantial boost

Impacted by Energy Reform
West Africa is potential New Frontier for U.S.
Alternate Fuels Impact Limited Thru 2025• Low oil prices have made alternatives less attractive
– Growth has/will be driven by regulatory action• Essentially all growth in the U.S. has been ethanol
– limited additional room due to “blend wall”• EV replacement of gasoline vehicles difficult to predict
– TM&C doesn’t expect significant penetration before 2025– Longer term, Autonomous Vehicle (AV) introduction could be
game changer

2020 LS Bunker Will Advantage U.S. Refiners
17
U.S. Refineries – Limited FO production
Most refiners will benefit from: higher distillate
cracks/wider heavy crude discounts
Europe and Asia - greater fuel oil production/simpler
refineries. Impacts most significant for privately-owned
European plants
TM&C estimates that 1.2 to 2.0 Million BPD of fuel oil will
be displaced by lighter streams, especially distillates.

Final Words• U.S. Should Continue to Be World Leader in Refining
– Ability to maintain and grow product exports will be critical (esp. for USGC) – Challenged by new refining capacity in both importing/exporting countries– Important not to be handicapped by excess regulation– Benefits of domestic production growth are real; limited by removal of crude
export restrictions – Can expect more rationalization of capacity in OECD Europe/Asia
• Export Product Demand Growth will Continue but Slow– Market limitations/slowing world petroleum demand growth– U.S. Capacity/Throughput increases limited; based on export economics– With domestic demand declining, growth will be needed to sustain rates– Should capture incremental LatAm growth and compete for West African– Asian market will be a challenge due to competition and high transit costs– U.S. product exports can reach/exceed 6 million BPD by 2025
