中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社1月22日报道,费城能源解决方案有限公司(PES)——一个提供美国东海岸四分之一以上炼油能力的炼油厂的所有者——日前申请了破产,这一破产计划可以允许PES删除部分环境成本。 根据PES公司首席执行官格雷格的说法,重组将使该公司能够成立一家新的拥有相同股份拥有者的公司。法庭文件显示,PES公司打算通过一次出售来删除3亿至3.5亿美元的合规成本。 PES经营这个为纽约港汽油和柴油市场服务的最大炼油厂,这是凯雷集团和能源转移合作伙伴公司麾下自公司太阳石油公司之间的一家合资公司。 法庭文件显示,合规成本包括“可再生识别号码”(RINs),根据一项联邦计划,PES自2012年以来被迫耗资8.32亿美元来购买PINs。PES说,购买PINs创造了一个不可预知的逐步上升的非计划的合规负担。这笔费用占到工资成本的两倍以及资本支出的近1.5倍。 格雷格在周一的一次电话采访中说:“没有RINs,我们将与世界上任何人竞争。” 李峻 编译自 美国彭博新闻社 原文如下: Biggest US East Coast Oil Refinery Files for Bankruptcy Philadelphia Energy Solutions LLC, owner of an oil refinery that supplies more than a quarter of the U.S. east coast’s crude refining capacity, filed for bankruptcy with a plan that could allow it to shed some environmental costs. The restructuring would allow PES to emerge a new company with the same stakeholders, according to the firm’s chief executive. Court filings show it intends to do so through a sale that will erase $300 million to $350 million of compliance costs. PES runs the largest oil refinery serving the New York Harbor gasoline and diesel market. It’s a joint venture between Carlyle Group LP and Energy Transfer Partners LP subsidiary Sunoco Inc. The compliance costs include “renewable identification numbers” or RINs, which the company was forced to buy under a federal program that has cost $832 million since 2012, the court filing shows. The purchases create an “unpredictable, escalating and unintended compliance burden” that amount to twice the cost of payroll and almost 1-1/2 times capital expenditures, the company said. Absent RINs, we’re competitive with anyone in the world,Chief Executive Officer Greg Gatta said in telephone interview Monday.
