BIS Issues Order Temporarily Denying The Delfin Group and Its President Export Privileges
| |
The Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, through its Office of Export Enforcement (OEE), issued an Order temporarily denying the Delfin Group USA LLC, and it's president, Markos Baghdasarian , for a period of 180 days, the export privileges under the Export Administration Regulations. The Order was effective February 25, 2012.
According to the BIS Order, the OEE presented evidence that beginning in or about mid-2010, and continuing thereafter, Delfin Group USA LLC and its president, Markos Baghdasarian, conspired with multiple entities and individuals, including entities and individuals located in the United Arab Emirates (UEA) to export U.S.-origin items subject to the Regulations from the United States to Iran, via transshipment through the UAE, without obtaining the required authorization from the U.S. Government.
In addition, the Order says the OEE presented evidence that Delfin and Baghdasarian used Bagdel Corporation, a freight forwarding company, to facilitate the export and attempted export of the items-polymers and lubricating oils or oil additives, including aviation engine lubricating oils-from the United States to Iran via the UAE. Baghdasarian is also the chief executive officer of Bagdel.

Nynas Raises Pale Oil Prices by $0.35 a gallon
| Nynas announced an increase in the price of its pale oils by $0.35 a gallon. The increase is effective March 15, 2012.
This increase is one in a list of recently announced increases in naphthenic base oil prices. Others include:
San Joaquin Refining - up $0.20 to $0.25 a gallon
Calumet - up %0.25 a gallon
Cross Oil - up $0.25 a $0.35 a gallon
Ergon - up 0.28 a gallon

| Base Oil Spreads | Although there are many factors a base oil manufacture takes into account prior to announcing a price increases, one of the most visible is the spread between the price of crude oil and base oil. When the spreads are large, there is typically little impetus to increase base oil prices. When the spread contracts, however, there is often pressure to push through price increases.
Understanding Holly was the first to move paraffinic base oil prices up in over six months, it's interesting to see that the spread over the last few weeks has been below the average since the start of 2011. In addition, the spread is nearing levels seen when base oil suppliers announced their last round of price increases.
Again, where there are many factors that drive decisions to increase base oil prices, the crude/base spread can be very telling.
