Lower US refinery throughputs lead to fall in benzene supplies
Houston (Platts)--16Oct2014/533 pm EDT/2133 GMT
US benzene supplies fell to 95,090 b/d for the week ending October 10 from 96,070 b/d a week prior, according to a Platts analysis of US Energy Information Administration data.
Benzene supplies from refineries fell 1.5% to 53,020 b/d as refinery throughputs fell in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions, according to EIA data released Thursday.
Estimated benzene supplies from petrochemical sources fell to 17,890 b/d from 18,170 b/d a week prior. Chevron Phillips and Eastman Chemicals began planned maintenance at their Sweeny, Texas, and Longview, Texas, crackers in the last two weeks, according to sources. In addition, Chevron Phillips' Port Arthur, Texas and Williams' Geismar, Louisiana, ethylene crackers remain down for maintenance work.
ExxonMobil's Baytown, Texas, steam cracker is expected to come back online from a planned maintenance on October 21 and the return to production will increase benzene supplies by about 1,250 b/d, according to Platts estimates.
On-purpose benzene production from toluene disproportionation and Mobil select toluene disproportionation were estimated unchanged at 24,180 b/d, based on information from market sources.
