據ICIS-MRC網站8月2日莫斯科報道，根據烴加工網信息顯示，瓦萊羅能源公司(Valero Energy Corp)表示，經調整后的第二季度利潤較前三個月有所增長，由于隨著與冠狀病毒相關的旅行限制放寬，燃料消耗有所改善。

　　截至6月30日的三個月內，瓦萊羅股東的調整后凈收入為1.97億美元，或每股48美分，而上一季度為1.4億美元，或每股34美分。

　　瓦萊羅第二季度的營業收入同比下降了72%，因為總銷售成本的增長超過了銷售額的增長。

　　在煉油部門，瓦萊羅報告的營業收入為3.49億美元，而2020年第二季度的營業收入為18億美元。該公司首席執行官Joe Gorder表示，我們系統的靈活性和團隊在疲軟但有所改善的利潤率環境中對優化的不懈關注，使我們在第二季度實現了盈利。

　　在路易斯安那州的圣查爾斯，一個名為DGD 2的新工廠有望將可再生柴油的產能提高4億加侖/年。瓦萊羅表示，擴建項目仍在預算之內，按計劃將于2021年第四季度中期完成并投入運營。其還將提供向低碳燃料市場銷售3000萬加侖/年的可再生石腦油的能力。

　　此外，該公司表示，位于得克薩斯州亞瑟港的新工廠DGD 3進展良好，預計將在2023年上半年開始運營。該工廠預計將增加4.7億加侖/年的可再生柴油產能。DGD 3將把DGD的總年生產能力提高到約12億加侖的可再生柴油和5000萬加侖的可再生石腦油。

　　Valero Q2 operating income fell 72%

　　Valero Energy Corp said its adjusted profit rose in the second quarter from the previous three-month period, as fuel consumption improved with the easing of coronavirus-related travel restrictions, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

　　Adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was USD197 million, or 48 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30, compared with USD140 million, or 34 cents per share, in the prior quarter.

　　Valero's Q2 operating income fell 72% year on year as sales growth was outpaced by an increase in total cost of sales.

　　In the refining segment, Valero reported operating income of USD349m, compared with USD1.8bn for Q2 2020. “Our system’s flexibility and the team’s relentless focus on optimisation in a weak, but otherwise improving, margin environment enabled us to deliver positive earnings in the second quarter,” said CEO Joe Gorder.

　　In its renewable diesel segment, Valero reported USD248m of operating income, up from USD129m in Q2 2020, and in the ethanol segment it reported USD99m of operating income, up from USD91m from Q2 2020. Valero continues to expand capacity at its Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) joint venture with Darling Ingredients to produce renewable diesel, it said.

　　At St Charles, Louisiana, a new plant, DGD 2, is expected to increase renewable diesel production capacity by 400m gal/year. The expansion project remains on budget and on track to be completed and operational in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2021, Valero said. It will also provide the capability to market 30m gal/year of renewable naphtha into low-carbon fuel markets.

　　Also, a new plant, DGD 3, at Port Arthur, Texas, which is expected to increase renewable diesel production capacity by 470m gal/year, is progressing well and is now expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023, the company said. DGD 3 will raise DGD’s total annual production capacity to about 1.2bn gallons of renewable diesel and 50m gallons of renewable naphtha.
