Extinguishment from the misfortune and gasoline? Individual additives did not enter the indicator

Concentrated on the outbreak of fire in the Yunnan-Guizhou region is still continuing to ferment.

After the incident, PetroChina and Sinopec insisted that the product oil sold at their gas stations was "no problem". However, it is worth noting that the current two giants have begun to increase their quality control from their purchase channels and tighten their outsourcing processes. PetroChina has asked the sales company to suspend the extraction of gasoline from social units since February 15. In June last year, Sinopec also issued a “restriction order” for outsourcing, which completely stopped the reconciliation of gasoline extraction. The oil giant had two "forbidden mining orders" in a few months. Is the “fire door” related to the blending oil extracted from outside?

Yesterday (February 27), the reporter learned that the mainstream price of reconciling gasoline is around 8,500 yuan/ton, which is roughly 1,000 yuan less than the average price of 93# gasoline of the two major oil companies.

Guo Hua, senior engineer at the National Petroleum and Natural Gas Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and the Petrochemical Center of Sichuan Product Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Institute, told the Daily Economic News reporter that some unscrupulous companies have added illegal additives to gasoline in order to earn the difference. Even methanol, methylal, N-methylaniline, etc. are added. At present, some illegal additives are not included in the national standard for testing.

The source of oil recovery traces from a number of sources and learned that before the two major oil giants had a certain amount of outsourcing each year, and the amount of outsourcing was increasing year after year. Outsourcing refers to a way for the two major oil companies to purchase oil products from units outside their respective systems (including state-owned oil companies, geological refining, and private traders) to ensure market supply. However, frequent oil quality issues have triggered concerns from all walks of life of the two major oil companies to reconcile gasoline quality.

According to industry veterans, PetroChina and Sinopec Mining on the one hand is due to the lack of self-owned resources of the two major companies; on the other hand, the cost of outsourcing of refined oil is lower. In order to ease the cost pressure, profits are increased through outsourcing.

According to Zhong Jian, the chief analyst of An Xun Sixiwang Energy, the two companies' annual outsourcing volume has been increasing each year, reaching about 60 million tons in 2010. Among them, China National Petroleum Corp. has collected about 40 million tons, while Sinopec has about 20 million tons. The two giants have different proportions of mining outside the region. The amount of outsourced oil along the Yangtze River in East China accounts for about 15% of their refined oil supply. In the southwestern region, Sinopec accounts for about 60% of the oil production, and the outsourcing oil accounted for about 30%. .

The two major oil companies have their own internal control procedures for the quality management of oil sales companies. After passing inspection and storage, the oil products can be loaded into the petrol station after the company has passed inspection and inspection. Taking Sinopec as an example, according to the internal control procedures for the quality management of oil sales companies, the testing of the oil products produced by its own refineries requires only the detection of the main indicators of Class B; while the internal control procedures for the quality management of purchased oil products, not only The qualification review of the supplier must be qualified after the A-grade test is completed before entering the oil depot. However, since the occurrence of a problem gasoline incident in Yueyang, Hunan, and Wenzhou, Zhejiang in May 2011, Sinopec has completely stopped reconciling gasoline extraction.

On the 15th of this month, on the 15th of this month, PetroChina issued a document suspending the extraction of gasoline from social units. This once again triggered the concern of the community over the mining of the two major oil giants and the harmonization of the quality of gasoline. According to industry insiders, the blended oil extracted by the two major companies may add the corresponding components and additives, making its oil quality basically reach the national standard.

Yesterday, the reporter obtained a report on the analysis of China's three 93 # gasoline profits from North China. The analysis shows that the added components of the 93# gasoline of the State Three are: 90# gasoline (market price 8900 yuan/ton, adding ratio 35%, blending cost 3115 yuan/ton); naphtha (market price 8300 yuan/ton, add The proportion is 30%, the blending cost is 2490 yuan/ton); MTBE (market price is 8700 yuan/ton, the proportion is 10%, the blending cost is 870 yuan/ton); the aromatics (market price is 8900 yuan/ton, the proportion is 10%, the reconciliation cost 890 yuan/ton); C5 (market price 8,400 yuan/ton, adding 5%, reconciling cost 420 yuan/ton); other (market price 7,000 yuan/ton, adding 10%, reconciling cost 700 yuan/ton).

At present, the mainstream price of Shandong Gasoline 93# gasoline is approximately 9,000 to 9,250 yuan/ton, while the average price of 93# gasoline in the two major oil groups in North China and East China reaches 9,600 yuan/ton and 9,700 yuan/ton, respectively, while the mainstream price of gasoline is harmonized. About 8,500 yuan / ton, and the two major oil groups 93 # gasoline average price difference of more than 1,000 yuan / ton.

"The cost of reconciling the gasoline is lower than that of the national standard gasoline. There is a big difference between the petrol and the non-reconciled gasoline produced by the two major companies. There is a profit difference of nearly one thousand yuan," said an industry veteran.

Last year, Sinopec called a stop-and-gasoline outsourcing. Its purpose was to prevent the blending oil from entering Sinopec's sales system because current technology monitoring could not control the quality of the oil. In addition, Sinopec added a number of new indicators for the detection of blended oils on the basis of national quality standards, such as “alkene content” and “formaldehyde”, to prevent non-compliance of standard and gasoline from entering Sinopec's sales system.

In the past, each year in March was the peak period of outsourcing of the two major oil companies. Each of the provincial companies will designate corresponding outsourcing suppliers. Generally speaking, these suppliers also have many small suppliers underneath, and the supply chain links increase. It is more difficult to regulate oil products.

“The national standard is formulated in accordance with the normal crude oil extraction process, but some illegal additives are not within the national standard inspection indicators.” Guo Hua said that the country is now also seeking to establish a risk monitoring system, which is common in gasoline. Illegal additives are detected.

Where did the "Forbidden Order" flow?

The reporter was informed that in early February, Sinopec once again proposed additional gasoline extraction detection indicators. On the 15th, CNPC also issued documents suspending the extraction of gasoline from social units. It is also reported that it may increase the detection standard for the content of gasoline in the outsourced gasoline. This document requires the prohibition of the extraction of oil from non-manufactured enterprises and measures to ensure that the oil is qualified. According to reports, the oil-prohibition order issued by PetroChina was implemented only for social units, which meant that CNPC’s sales companies were not allowed to extract gasoline from social units and traders, but they could still go from Sinopec, CNOOC and local refineries. Gasoline production outside the production unit, but in the process of external mining increased the need for inspection indicators.

After the two giants banned mining, where will the reconciliation oil flow? According to the above-mentioned veteran, it is not possible to enter the gas stations of the two major companies or to enter private gas stations. Due to the limited resources of the two giants' own refineries, some private oil stations may have no choice but to choose to blend oil if they cannot get oil from the two companies.

However, the stoppage of mining by the two giants did not allow the price of blended gasoline to go down. Instead, prices have risen recently due to increased costs. Just after the country raised the maximum retail price of refined oil this month, the price per ton of blended gasoline also rose by around 300 yuan.

It is worth noting that there are Guangxi media reports that the recent phenomenon of “sickness” in the collective car in Nanning urban areas: no fire, excessive carbon deposition, turbulent shake, refueling and flameout, etc., eventually leading to engine failure and engine damage.
