U.S. Base Oil Price Report By: Carolyn L. Green

ExxonMobil, Chevron, Motiva and Calumet alerted customers that API Group II and II+ posted prices have been adjusted down. These moves wrap up a full round of U.S. price decreases for these two categories.

Chevron’s Richmond, Calif., refinery was said to be up and running earlier this month, with production at full rates. The refiner had taken the facility down for a scheduled six-week turnaround in early October. An unexpected fire, which was quickly extinguished, delayed the start-up originally planned for mid-November. Despite the success of the start-up, sources reiterated that Chevron continues to enforce its long-standing sales allocation program.

As reported in Lube Report last year, Motiva will cease production of its Star 3 Group II 70 vis and its Star 5+ Group II+ 130 vis grades effective Jan. 1, 2012. The company had provided customers with 15 months of advance notice. Motiva said, when it announced the changes last year, it planned to “focus on areas that complement our processing capabilities and operating efficiencies as well as the needs of the marketplace.”

Motiva did not adjust the posted prices this week for the two grades that will be discontinued at month’s end. Noting the significant amount by which Motiva decreased postings, some Motiva direct customers said that their contracts were based on the lowest Group II postings, not on Motiva’s, prior to this latest move. Sources also confirmed that Motiva’s sales allocation was lifted on Star 4 within the past several weeks.

There are still some worries over feedstock costs for many operators. Crude oil values have been holding at high levels, near the $100 per barrel mark, for several weeks. Vacuum gas oil differentials are around $10/bbl and $14/bbl over WTI for high and low sulfur VGO respectively.


Effective December 2009 APP has added the full-line of Castrol lubricants to expand our service offering in all market segments. Castrol is a well-known brand in automotive and heavy-duty applications and presents our customers with more choices to utilize our wide variety of petroleum services.
