U. S. Refining Industry Environment Changing Ethanol Mandate Renewable Fuels Greenhouse Gas Regulations New Export Refineries U. S. Refinery Expansions Canadian Oil Sands High Crude and Retail Fuels Prices Declining Heavy Crude Production U. S. Gasoline World Diesel Demand Growth Demand Pressure

U. S. Gasoline Supply/Demand Pressure MMBPD U. S. Motor Gasoline Supply Outlook Source: Revised EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2008, Renewable Fuels Association § § U. S. demand growth slowing with higher prices and vehicle efficiencies Mandated ethanol blending increasing to 1 MMBPD by 2013 Gasoline imports expected to continue at 1 MMBPD Potential for supply rising faster than demand Outlook for U. S. gasoline supply/demand is changing

World Diesel Demand Growth World Diesel Demand Projections MMBPD U. S. Diesel Demand Projections Source: Revised EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2008 § § § Source: Average of Consultant Projections U. S. and World diesel demand growth continuing Economic growth in developing countries and U. S. driving demand Global diesel margins expected to remain above historical levels Opportunity for U. S. refiners to produce and export diesel Biodiesel not expected to be a significant contributor Refinery Investments Needed to Increase Diesel Production

World Refining Outlook World Refining Capacity and Demand Projections MMBPD Reliance Jamnagar New Crude Complex, India Source: Reliance Industries website Source: Revised EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2008, Valero expansion projections § § Worldwide refining capacity growth may exceed product demand growth Large scale export refineries being built (Reliance, Kuwait Al-Zour, Saudi Aramco) Several large U. S. refining expansions underway (Motiva, Marathon, Valero) World competition for engineering, fabrication, and construction resources Implies future project slowdowns or asset rationalization

Valero Growth Strategies § Expect Record Capital Spending in 2009 § Focus on Key Refineries • High Volume • Heavy Sour Crude Feedstocks • Niche Markets § Increase ULSD production • Inline with projected world demand growth • Grassroots Gas Oil Hydrocrackers at St. Charles and Port Arthur § Expand Petrochemicals Production • New Aromatics Complex at St. Charles § Pursue Alternative Fuels/Gasification • Convert low-value petroleum coke into power and hydrogen • Studying other alternative fuels options § Continue to Process Low Cost Raw Materials • Canadian oil sands to Gulf Coast to offset declining Maya production Valero Continuing an Aggressive Program of Organic Growth

Project Execution Challenges Valero Texas City Coker Key Refining Construction Costs § Grass roots coker at Texas City built in 2003 § Port Arthur clone set for 2010 at double cost and 33% longer timeline § Skilled labor scarce, especially on Gulf Coast § Owner’s perspective • Engineering quality and capability stretched • More limited shop space and extended queues • Labor experience, quality, and productivity have decreased § Grassroots U. S. refinery estimated costs increased from $15 M/BPD to $25 -30 M/BPD Industry expansions more costly and pace slowing

Issues for the E&C Industry § Recognize the changing U. S. and Worldwide refining environment § § § Improve labor availability, quality, and productivity Upgrade engineering quality Improve execution timelines Provide better project cost certainty Collaborate with owners to minimize costs and timelines Refining Industry needs a responsive E&C Industry to help meet mutual challenges and economic needs
