Forward Guidance
Genesis Energy anticipates continued volume growth offshore and a structurally tight Jones Act market. Potential weakness in soda ash prices is expected to be partially offset by new volumes from the Granger expansion project. The long-term outlook remains unchanged, with increased cash flow expected upon completion of growth capital projects.
Positive Outlook
- Continued volume growth offshore from additional wells coming online at Argos.
- Additional volumes from new sub-sea tiebacks and continuing in-field drilling.
- Jones Act market expected to remain structurally tight, driving marginally increasing day-rates.
- New long-term contract for the American Phoenix commencing in mid-January.
- New volumes from the Granger expansion project and a corresponding reduction in average operating cost per ton.
Challenges Ahead
- Potential weakness in soda ash prices, primarily in export markets.
- Slowing global demand and a slower than anticipated re-opening of China’s economy impacting soda ash pricing.
- Early signals of a slowdown in the domestic market and certain end markets in Europe.
- Timing differences in growth capital expenditures between 2023 and 2024.
- Continued increase in new production from Inner Mongolia affecting customer behavior and soda ash prices.
