5RECENT JET FUEL SHORTAGES
6Industry issues
- OR Tambo International Airport Jet Fuel shortage
- OR Tambo International Airport receives product
from the Transnet refined products pipeline from
Durban to Johannesburg (DJP) through the
dedicated feeder pipeline, the dedicated AVTUR
pipeline from NATREF refinery and rail tank cars
from the coastal refineries - Existing fuel storage and distribution facilities
consist of nine tanks with a combined storage
capacity is 46,500 m3 - NATREF and Rail Tank Cars supply 22,500 m3
- Multi-products pipeline (DJP) supply 24,000 m3
- Chevron South Africa (Pty) Ltd manages and
operates petroleum facilities on behalf of the
consortium consisting of BP Southern Africa (Pty)
Ltd, Chevron South Africa (Pty) Ltd, Engen
Petroleum Limited, Exel (Pty) Ltd, Shell South
Africa Marketing(Pty) Ltd and Total South Africa
(Pty) Ltd - Stakeholders collaboration is required
7Industry Challenges
- Jet fuel supply shortages
- During early August supply shortages of jet fuel
were experienced at O R Tambo International
Airport (ORTIA) - These shortages resulted from a number of
potential factors including, inter alia - Low opening stock holding at ORTIA jet fuel
terminal coming into July due to production
problems at an inland refinery during June - A number of logistical problems experienced by
Transnet during July leading to inadequate and
irregular supply to ORTIA and a gradual depletion
of stock - Cessation of joint supply planning due to
Competition Act considerations leading to slower
independent reactions - Stocks dropped from the normal working level of 5
days down to 2 days. - Through a concentrated logistics programme,
including increased road haulage and tankering
by airlines stock levels are now back to normal - The Minister of Trade and Industry designated the
petroleum industry for the purpose of the
relevant section of the Competition Act - SAPIA is preparing an exemption application to
allow interaction between members of the industry
teams dealing with issues such as products
supply, logistics planning, pipelines operations,
shipping, etc to maintain current and ongoing
security to supply - The Minister of Energy has established a Supply
Task Team, headed by DoE, to further investigate
the shortages and the jet fuel supply plans for
the 2010 Soccer World Cup
8Industry issues
- 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa preparation
- Objective for RSA successful event without fuel
supply disruption - Kick-off 8 June to 14 July 2010

for industry wide planning to happen!
9INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
10Industry Challenges
- The industry faces a number of short long term
challenges including -
- Current global economic situation
- Economic regulation and legislation
- Skills shortage
- Infrastructure development
- Environmental issues
- Future fuels requirements
- Socio-economic issues
- Crime and security
- Industry transformation
11Industry Challenges
- Current global economic crisis
- The global economic crisis underscores the
urgency of sustainable development mutually
reinforcing the balance of economic, social and
environmental progress - Highlights the urgency to work efficiently and
cooperatively to develop the policy and financial
drivers required to provide energy access and
security - The following are key issues identified by the
International Chamber of Commerce Commission on
Environment and Energy - All energy options are important no one size
fits all solution exists - Sector wide changes can take decades
- Coordinated international effort is needed to
ensure an enabling framework and markets - National policies have to take current realities
and international agreements into account - Long-term investments should be facilitated in
light of the need for global and local capital
allocation - Energy efficiency should be a key focus and needs
to be promoted - Technology cooperation and deployment should be
fostered - A variety of market mechanisms fit for national /
local circumstances have to be identified
12Industry Challenges
- Economic regulation and legislation
- The oil industry is a vital component to the
South African economy operating in a highly
regulated environment. - Energy is the blood that runs through the veins
of every economy. It is to the survival of an
economy what water is to the survival of the
human body- Executive Summary, Energy Security
Master Plan, Department of Minerals Energy. - In order to meet the countrys liquid fuels need
now and into the future - The industry needs predictable regulations to
encourage investment by existing and new entrants - The return needs to sufficiently reward
investment across the value chain - Investment returns need to be sustainable
- Skills shortages need to be urgently addressed
- Industry is currently working with the Department
of Energy and their consultants to develop a new
mechanism that will meet the above objectives - Shortage of capacity within Government to handle
regulatory requirements (licences, approvals,
etc) severely hampers development and increases
costs
13Industry Challenges
Industry cost / demand squeeze
14Industry Challenges
- Infrastructure development
-
- Additional petroleum product pipelines and
tankage capacity are needed to serve the major
vital inland market - fuel shortages will harm the countrys economy
and derail the Governments projected growth
target. - The Governments Energy Security Master Plan
calls for investment in the building of new
pipelines and tankage facilities, which will
include some participation by the private sector.
- Beneficial conditions should be created by
Government for the industry and other private
players to invest in new tankage and pipeline
capacity. - Discussions with Competition Authorities are
under development to allow stakeholders to
jointly discuss security of supply issues in the
short to long term. - Regulatory certainty and increased capacity is a
necessity for efficient development of required
infrastructure
15ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES
16Environmental Performance
- Future fuels requirements
-
- Why clean fuels?
- Improve air quality in sensitive areas
- Reduction in CO2
- Enable cleaner more efficient vehicle
technology - SAPIA has developed a long-term roadmap for
discussion with the relevant regulators (ie DoE,
DWEA, DoT, DTI, NT). The roadmap outlines a
suggested approach that would be in the best
interests of SA as a whole.

18SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHALLENGES
19Industry Challenges
- Crime and security
-
- Crime continues to escalate
-
- Categorise crimes against the petroleum
industry into three main groups -
- Violent crimes including robberies, ATM crimes on
service station forecourts perpetrated with
explosives, attacks on drop-safes with explosives
and cash-in-transit robberies on forecourts. - Bulk fuel thefts and other thefts including
housebreaking. - Commercial crime including fraud and corruption.
20Industry Challenges
- Crime in 2008
- Robberies at service stations on an upward trend.
- SAPS crime statistics indicate a 23 increase in
violent crimes perpetrated against the business
sector. - Service station robberies increased from 590
incidents in 2007 to 785 incidents in 2008. - The total number of violent crimes increased from
875 in 2007 to 1139 in 2008.
21Industry Challenges
- What is being done?
-
- Oil Industry Security Forum focuses on crime
prevention, security issues and crime fighting
projects. - Monthly meetings attended by SAPIA members,
retail representative bodies and South African
Police Service (SAPS). - Co-operative action among industry bodies to
address crime problem. - Oil companies and service station owners are
managing strict cash-handling procedures. - Introducing innovative cash handling equipment
and procedures. - Enhanced service station design, centred on the
installation of improved forecourt lighting and
access restriction to sensitive areas. - Minimum standards for closed circuit television
(CCTV) installations which now provide clear
images of perpetrators. - Installation of bullet-proof glass at some
convenience store point-of-sale areas. - Installation of panic buttons, safety locks and
enhanced video surveillance equipment. - Establishment of emergency response links with
armed response companies and the SAPS. - Enhanced SAPS sector and Community Policing Forum
approach.
22Industry Challenges
- What is being done? (continued)
-
- Sharing examples of best practice within
industry. - Closer liaison with the SAPS senior management,
SAPS Hitech Unit, national and provincial JOCOMs,
Crime Information Centre, local clusters and
provincial management. - Full investigation of every crime related
incident and the incorporation of the relevant
findings into security procedures. - The formulation of useful security, safety, crime
prevention and governance guidelines for the
industry and its security service providers. - Specialised training programmes for service
station personnel in the area of robbery
prevention and survival techniques.
