...six-plant refining network, a comprehensive terminal and transportation system, and extensive wholesale and retail marketing operations” (“Corporate Profile”). Marathon’s six refineries have a total refining capacity of 1.142 billion barrels per day and provide the United States with approximately seven percent of its total capacity (“About MPC”). Marathon sells 4.1 billion gallons of gasoline each year that are then distributed to over five thousand independently owned and operated Marathon locations (“About MPC”). Marathon owns Speedway, the fourth largest convenience store chain in the U.S. Speedway not only sells gasoline but also sells food and beverages and a variety of other products in one of its 1350 locations scattered throughout the Midwest (“About MPC ”). To be sure, examining Marathon’s overall product process and identifying those phases which might be improved could result in more efficient refining and distribution of the United States’ life blood: transportation fuels. Efficiency improvements to Marathon’s product production process In order to understand at which phase of Marathon’s product process might be improved for efficiency, it is necessary to examine the current process. The current process for Marathon starts with the purchase, delivery, and transportation of crude oil to its refineries. Marathon purchases crude oil from a variety of sources. In 2010,...

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Paper P5 Section A: THIS ONE question is compulsory and MUST be attempted 1 Mackerel Contracting (Mackerel) is a listed defence contractor working mainly for its domestic government in Zedland. You are a consultant brought in to advise Mackerel on a number of issues facing the company. The board need a report from you: • outlining the external factors affecting the profitability of a potential new contract and how these factors can be built in to the choice of the design budget which is ultimately set, • advising on a proposed change to the company’s information systems and • advising on suitable performance measures for Mackerel. Firstly, Mackerel is currently considering tendering for a contract to develop a new armoured personnel vehicle (APV) for the army to protect its soldiers during transport around any future battlefield. The invitation to tender from the government specifies that the APV should take two years to develop and test, and be delivered for a full cost to Mackerel of no more than $70,000 per unit at current prices.

...mining; integrated gas; and refining, marketing and transportation (www.marathonoil.com). Marathon Oil Corporation operates seven refineries and sells refined products at Marathon-branded gas stations, and through retail subsidiary Speedway outlets. It also holds stakes in 10,000 miles of pipeline, and is one of the largest asphalt and light oil product terminal operators in the US. It distributes petroleum products wholesale to private brand marketers and to large commercial and industrial consumers, as well as to the spot market. The company has operations in more than 20 US states. The phase open to the greatest number of efficiency improvements is the pipeline transport of crude oil. Once the crude oil is in the pipeline it will take about eight to ten days to reach the refinery. “The Capeline Pipeline is a major thoroughfare for crude oil in the U.S., transporting up to one million barrels of crude oil a day…at an average speed of four miles per hour…” (“The time it takes,” n.d.). Transporting oil through pipelines is more economical than transporting over land. If Marathon improves the throughput rate of crude oil delivery they will be able to refine more barrels of gasoline and other petroleum products a day. As previously stated the pipeline can transport up to one million barrels of crude oil a day, and according to marathon.com their refinery network has a crude oil throughput capacity of 1,142,000 barrels per day. Improving the pipeline transport will improve the...

...Forward Contract We start with an example of a simple forward contract. Arctic Fuels, the heating-oil distributor, plans to deliver one million gallons of heating oil to its retail customers next January. Arctic worries about high heating-oil prices next winter and wants to lock in the cost of buying its supply. Northern Refineries is in the opposite position. It will produce heating oil next winter, but doesn't know what the oil can be sold for. So the two firms strike a deal: Arctic Fuels agrees in September to buy one million gallons from Northern Refineries at $1.60 per gallon, to be paid on delivery in January. Northern agrees to sell and deliver one million gallons to Arctic in January at $1.60 per gallon. Arctic and Northern are now the two counterparties in a forward contract. The forward price is $1.60 per gallon. This price is fixed today, in September in our example, but payment and delivery occur later. (The price for immediate delivery is called the spot price Price of asset for immediate delivery (in contrast to forward or futures price).Arctic, which has agreed to buy in January, has the long position in the contract. Northern Refineries, which has agreed to sell in January, has the short position. Both companies have eliminated a business risk: Arctic has locked in its costs, and Northern has locked in its revenues for one million gallons of output. Do not confuse this forward contract with an option. Arctic does not have the option to buy. It has committed...

...large corporations, and many smaller organizations. It is difficult to enter into this market because of the high entry barriers. There are many small exploration companies that contract out to the big players of this industry such as ExxonMobil and the members of the strategic group. Some small exploration companies are Continental Energy Corporation, Atlantic Petroleum, and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation works hand in hand with Beyond Petroleum, and was indirectly involved with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The members of Exxon’s strategic group consist of Beyond Petroleum, Conoco Phillips, and Chevron. These members are a part of the strategic group because they explore, produce, refine and market oil and gas. A reason why we didn’t pick Royal Dutch Shell is because we found that they have a joint venture with Exxon Mobil. With the recent hunches of more regulation in the oil industry, these corporations are investing in natural gas companies. In order for these companies to remain competitive they need to always be innovative and creative. This is another reason why we picked these three members as a part of the strategic group. Conoco Phillips is the smallest one in the strategic group bringing in only $16.99 million in net income at the end of 2008 (ConocoPhillips, 2008). Even with this small number we still consider Conoco Phillips a threat to Exxon Mobil. Companies | Exxon Mobil | BP | Chevron | ConocoPhillips | Revenues | 335...

...Oil Sector – Extracting Value We launch coverage on the London listed Palm Oil sector with a positive view as we believe the industry will continue to grow and current production will struggle to meet global demand. In our view, companies (such as the ones under our coverage) that have; agricultural land rights in equatorial regions (where oil palms thrive), industry expertise, experienced management teams, and access to capital, have defensible competitive advantages and are likely to experience earnings growth and margin expansion going forward. New Britain Palm Oil (NBPO LN, BUY, 1,197p price target, 23% upside) NBPO produces sustainable and traceable Palm Oil in Papua New Guinea (PNG), which it sells to European markets. We believe the company’s competitive advantages, (the traceability and sustainability of its oil, above industry average yields, land and other assets, management team and industry relationships) will enable it to increase sales, expand margins and maintain a market leading position going forward. Asian Plantations (PALM LN, BUY, 345p price target, 29% upside) Source: MP Evans Palm Tree Plantation Asian Plantations is involved in the acquisition and development of Palm Oil plantation land in Sarawak, Malaysia. We believe the company will be able to execute on its strategy (acquiring undeveloped land and selling it when it reaches full maturity) given its competitive advantages (land rights, mill technology and management) and its track record since...

...CASE Established in 2002 in Taiping, Perak, Palm Haul Sdn Bhd (PHSB) was a small and medium sized enterprise in the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) transportation business. PHSB was managed by En. Rossly, the Chief Executive Officer which is also the son-in-law of PHSB’s founder, Datuk S. Najeed. Like the other transport companies involved in the business, PHSB also faced problems with its drivers embroiling in oil piracy. Transport companies are naturally will held the responsibility for such thefts as they usually take place under their watch and these companies are bound to compensate the refineries for such losses. The culprits involved frequently tanker drivers, depot operators and transporters. One of the major customer of PHSB, Oilene Refineries (Oilene) complaint about the quality of the CPO delivered by PHSB and its later impact on Oilene’s failure to fulfil their customer orders. This is because of the practice of siphoning CPO and adulterating the consignment with water, used oil or sludge was so uncontrolled that a number of PHSB’s customers have threatened to change their custom to other more reliable transport companies. Besides that, profits for the first quarter of 2009 had drastically decrease compared to the same period on the previous year due to the high compensation expenses and maintenance cost. These matters worried Datuk Najeed whom then insisted En. Rossly inspect the matters and report to him within one week with possible solutions. En. Rossly then asked his university...
