NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Reliance Industries plans to test-run its new refinery by September and has already started filling its tanks with Saudi crude oil, a top company official told Reuters.
"Trial runs will begin in August-September as we started filling tankages this month only," the official, who did not want to be named, said on Wednesday..
He said additional Saudi crude would feed the new 580,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery being built by subsidiary Reliance Petroleum adjacent to an existing 660,000-bpd plant at Jamnagar in western India.
"We will continue to buy extra barrels from Saudi Arabia in August as the new refinery start-up is ready. We started filling in the tank and started filling the lines and storages," he said.
Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, has pledged to boost production by 550,000 bpd from May to July to 9.7 million bpd, the highest in more than 30 years.
With worsening refining margins in the East, Reliance Industries is the only Asian refiner so far to have taken up the additional Saudi crude, buying 30 percent of the extra barrels pumped in June and July.
The official said Reliance was looking for storage facilities for its products in Singapore, the Mediterranean region, Europe and the US Gulf coast to help it serve its key markets.
fyi only.
OPEC has an unspoken agreement to keep oil lowest US$100 per barrel.
because a lot of hedge funds and banks lost money in subprime, so they had shifted to oil and commods. shorted it 130s-140s while calling for 200s. And then longed from abt this range (while they're calling for 80s and 90s).
huge positions.
So if oil drops below a critical level, funds will be forced to take loss and unwind, which is when the oil and CPO counters will crash.
methinks they are too desperate to let that happen tho.
Should have included this for clarity:

SPC is one great stock to keep for long-long term...
But first, one must make sure it is only bought 'cheap-cheap'...
ie. around $4 or thereabouts...

$4+ that is good value! very close to NAV..i'll definitely buy for the long term..
Long-term investors must need to cultivate a hopeful and long-suffering attitude in order to live through the years of agony when they are having negative equity in their accounts because of falling prices. This agony is caused by the thought 'I should have sold it if only I knew the price will fall'.
When experiencing this agony, it is necessary to console oneself that the price will surely go back up in time...
The point is, a loss is a loss, no matter what consolation one gives to oneself. ...
