Given the volatility in refining margins and uncertainties around global economic growth, particularly in China, how confident are you that demand growth will exceed capacity additions through the end of the decade, and what factors could alter this outlook?
-
With competitors shutting down refineries on the West Coast and the challenging regulatory environment, what gives you confidence in investing capital in your Los Angeles refinery with an expected 20% return, and how are you mitigating risks associated with stricter environmental regulations and potential demand shifts in that region?
-
Your capital returns have significantly reduced your share count by over 50% since May 2021; however, with projected lower utilization rates and higher operating costs in the fourth quarter, how sustainable are these capital returns, and how might a prolonged period of soft margins impact your capital allocation strategy?
-
You mentioned comfort with maintaining a minimum $1 billion cash balance through a down cycle, relying on the $2.5 billion annualized distribution from MPLX; can you elaborate on the risks to this midstream cash flow and how you would adjust your capital return commitments if MPLX's distributions were to decline?
-
With sequentially lower adjusted EBITDA driven by decreased results in your Refining & Marketing segment and higher operating costs per barrel due to lower throughputs and increased turnaround activity, what specific measures are you taking to control costs and improve margins in anticipation of a potentially weaker refining environment?
