A barrel of oil or a liter of gasoline - what worries the fuel union

81

We were warned


At the beginning of the week, the country's Independent Fuel Union (NTS) reported on the possibility of a significant increase in gasoline prices in Russia. And in the near future. And a lot at once. The figure is called (either maximum, or approximate) of 14 percent.

NTS, on whose website an analyst two years ago was hanging, gave a very extraordinary explanation of the reasons for its fears. So, it is not even about the rise in oil prices or some unregulated tariffs, but about the jump in the indices of some mysterious export alternative.



It is easy to understand what this means - it is much more profitable to export even crude oil abroad than to process and sell it inside the country. The industry simply has to compensate for losses in refining and complex Russian logistics by raising prices for filling stations.

Those same indices in the NTS were hardly the first time they were called in the general press as it is accepted in exchange slang - netbacks, the growth of which "stimulates export and discourages domestic supplies."
It is immediately felt that modern effective managers have come to the NTS, who do not care much about the problems of ordinary buyers.

And it doesn't matter that people don't care about some kind of netbacks, it is more important to demonstrate their professionalism at the top, where they are now in a hurry deciding how to support the oil industry. Readers, as well as authors, should finally realize that this is the industry that appears to have been hit hardest by the pandemic.

And also from quarantines and other incentives to reduce business activity, and as a result - from falling demand for gasoline. Hence, there is a simple conclusion - the executive branch must, and simply must, once again support the oil workers and the kings of gas stations. Otherwise, add another 14 percent to the price tags at gas stations and not a percent less.

The country's independent fuel union so directly asked the Russian government to intervene in this situation and take the necessary measures. On behalf of business (and how could it be otherwise), NTS proposes to reduce excise taxes on gasoline and diesel, cancel the damper and increase the standards on the stock exchange.

We were warned


Such forecasts, or, more precisely, the NTS alarms that were not voiced at the time, are very reminiscent of what happens to flowers on the eve of March 8, or to flour and eggs on the eve of Holy Easter. But it was only there that usually everything turned into nothing - new players came, discovered new sources, and prices did not jump much.

This does not work with gasoline - there are no new sources or new players. And the most that the gasoline market can please us is stability for two to three months. However, this stability is always very relative - a sluggish growth of indicators on electronic displays with prices takes place.

And it is regularly interspersed with price surges, and certainly upward. That is seasonal - before sowing, harvesting, or on the eve of the heating season. Either opportunistic - under the growth or decline of oil prices: both in Russia will certainly respond to an increase in the cost of gasoline, and gas, and diesel fuel.


It is not so much the tough regulatory measures that FAS, the antimonopoly service, usually succeeded in under Artemyev, is saving from large-scale gasoline crises. Now it has been replaced by the Russian Audit Chamber and the Independent Fuel Union in terms of activity.

However, it is not they who really help the market, and not even the competition, which we have had for a long time only for appearance. It helps the fact that everything (what can and cannot) cannot be exported over the hill, due to the lack of appropriate export capacities.

The pipe, as they say, is too small. And Gazprom is not just making a shamelessly unambiguous choice in favor of the second Nord Stream, and not the general gasification of Russian subsidized regions. And in this sense, oil and gas workers do not differ in absolutely nothing.

Suffice it to recall how on the eve of the default and in the midst of it, Russian oil flowed abroad for a penny. And no one was hooked in any way. The Accounts Chamber mentioned above, almost in vain, started much later, when it was headed by the short-term prime minister of 1999 and the failed "successor" Sergei Stepashin.

We didn't expect


Over the past three and a half months, gasoline prices have risen by almost 20 percent in a number of regions, even without NTS warnings. In Moscow and the Moscow region, the increase is not so strong: from 12 to 15 percent. Only because the price tag was already off scale.


It's March, and the same seasonal factor is about to come into force, which was usually smoothed out by compulsory sales on the stock exchange. Now, petrol excise taxes that have been raised by 1 percent more recently, that is, from January 4, can add to the negative.

The damping surcharges to the refundable excise duty provided for gasoline, which we did not mention a little higher, are already working badly. The result is a new turn in favor of exports.

Judging by the appeal to the government, the NTS is even ready to suggest something - for example, an uncomplicated reduction in the excise tax on gasoline and diesel fuel of the fifth ecological class. This was already done in 2018, and thus temporarily stimulated supplies to the domestic market.

The NTS proposes to abandon the damper at all, since those fluctuations in the external market, which it was supposed to compensate, have not been present for more than six months.

But where is the guarantee that they will not be in the future?

But from the "bad" damper there were, in fact, quite good receipts to the treasury, although the budget could well have been replenished simply by rising prices. But the obligatory supply of fuel to the exchange for sale within the country, we do not argue, must be supported.

But will the preservation of tax incentives proposed by the experts of the NTS work as it should for companies that strictly follow the norms of compulsory deliveries?

President of the NTS Pavel Bazhenov has no doubts that benefits and norms seem to balance each other:

“On the one hand, a fiscal incentive is created for the growth of production volumes, on the other hand, the volumes are not exported, but go to the domestic market”.

Meanwhile, the gap in wholesale and retail prices for fuel within the country is growing every year. But this does not become an incentive to engage in retail without the exchange.

At real gas stations with their specific "kings" - completely different rules. And the shortage of fuel, which is not excluded under any price hikes and sometimes frightens more terrible than these prices themselves, is invariably to their advantage.

        Andrey from Chelyabinsk was right when he wrote about the need to declare all extracted natural resources in the country the property of the state. In such conditions, it is the state that controls the prices for gasoline within the country. It is worth lowering fuel prices even by 10%, this would already have an effect on the country's economy. And so - we have what we have. Alas.

          Not right. Because then the intermediaries will start to wind up and are sold. The bourgeois will never miss the opportunity to rip off the people. And after gasoline - everything else will follow, evon - what's going on with the grub! And this is despite the declared unprecedented harvests ..

          No people, we have only one option - to return Soviet power. In all its scope. And we must hurry - otherwise there will be nowhere to return. And there is no one. The system needs to be changed, and not to do cosmetic painting of a new one ..

          According to common reasoning, it should not be otherwise. The country is not a feud, but the property of the entire people.
          And the problem just stems from the fact that the national property has become the subject of gaining profits. And not a guarantee of the country's prosperity.

            Wanted, if not all, then many, in the "bright capitalist future." When they found out for whom exactly it was light, it was already too late. Some of the dissidents, more or less honest, once wrote something like "Soviet propaganda lied to people about the situation inside the country, but, as it turned out, was 100% right about the characteristics given to capitalist countries."

            Many will probably disagree about the first part of what has been said, but the dissident's opinion is given here precisely because of the second part.

        I read the article. I almost shed a tear about how cool these NTS are. Now let's get back to reality. I have sufficient experience in the field of inspections of both global oil and gas companies and large oil traders. But not the point, let's move on to the facts:
        1. NTS is just a cartel with one goal - to maximize the profits of its member companies. Why? It's simple:
        The rise in prices is not caused by excise taxes, but by completely different reasons:
        1.1 from the refinery to the gas station there are, on average, 12-16 "gaskets". What for ? And then, to sit on a simplified taxation system and minimize taxes. Most of these companies are members of the NTS;
        1.2 all these companies, members of the NTS, are doing their best to disrupt the standards for the mandatory sale of petroleum products on the domestic market through the electronic trading system. Currently, no more than 7-10% of products are sold in this way. Why? Because it is more profitable to export oil abroad. For dollars. Well, or to Belarus with VAT refund.
        In fact, if it were political will, it would not be difficult to reduce the price of gasoline by at least 30 percent. But why...

        I’ll say for myself about the fur-bearing animal, they felt that way in the middle of 98, when the energy sector stopped paying wages and began to open shops at enterprises where they sold goods according to the list. And before that, there was still nothing. Four times a month they gave money, salary, advance payment, power bonus and some kind of insurance.

And it was the 90s that marked the beginning of the mass migration of young people from villages to cities. There remained their not old parents, who in 30 years turned into retirees. That's the whole secret. And few people wanted to return. For this, it is necessary to create conditions so that life in the countryside would be easier and wages would be higher than in the city. Not just jobs. It is possible, probably. But the result is likely not urban-to-rural migration, but urban riots.

          In the 90s, salary grew and did not catch up with inflation a little

          Then - it was enough to write in the contract the price in dollars at the exchange rate, and in general - you stayed with your friends. With Putin's stability, real income falls every year. And there is not even anything to get attached to - because the official inflation has nothing to do with the true one. As a result, in order to stay at least at the same level, it is necessary to increase income by 15-20 percent every year. And how, vigorous, to do it ??? Where can you find so many clients in a poor country? You can't raise the price tag that exists for so much - they will send it to hell and they will be right. For everyone is not sweet. And the idea of ​​working more and more practically for nothing - does not seem very attractive. In general, a complete stabilizer, glory to the great Putin ..

    Oil reserves are falling, it becomes more and more difficult to extract from "depleting" wells. Salaries of (and not small) employees of companies are growing. In recent years, taxes on gasoline have significantly increased.
    -Oil production - mineral extraction tax (MET) and additional income tax (AIT),
    -Oil refining - excise taxes (including excise tax on crude oil and damper).
    -Sale of gasoline at gas stations - value added tax (VAT).
    In 2019, the share of taxes (effective rates) in the price of AI-92 gasoline reached an all-time high of 54%, the share of production and sales costs was 38%, and the company's profit from sales was only 8%.
    PS In 2010, the price of AI-92 gasoline was 23 rubles. and if tax rates and conditions did not change, then in 2019 the price of gasoline was not 43 rubles, but only 30 rubles!

      Yes, it's easy.
      Well, first of all, there are a lot of diesel vehicles. Special vehicles and trucks are mainly diesel, plus the growing popularity of diesel engines in passenger cars.
      Secondly. There is not enough diesel fuel from oil, even less kerosene for aircraft.
      Due to its high popularity and small production, diesel fuel is also expensive. Everything is according to the rule: the less product with a simultaneous increase in demand leads to higher prices.
      Here, after all, how: profitability can be increased by increasing production with an unclear prospect of selling the entire volume, or by increasing prices while maintaining a small volume of production, thereby creating a slight shortage of the product.
      Actually, for the last 100 years, this is how the economy has been working all over the world. And if you constantly increase production, the notorious crisis of overproduction will come. As well okay. The goods are being bought up. Only the money supply is growing, hence the financial crisis
