Quite Refined, Indeed
石油热潮造富
Paul Foster founded Western Refining in 2005 after close to a decade of running affiliated companies. The El Paso, Texas-based independent refiner and marketer went public in 2006 at $17 per share and eclipsed $50 per share before making a poor acquisition leading up to the recession, battering its stock. The company was under $5 per share as late as 2010, when the economy started showing life and U.S. oil production began booming. The oil rush, which now has the U.S. as the top exporter in the world, has invigorated many of the industry’s companies, and it would appear Western Refining is no exception. But it was a strategic acquisition that set Western Refining’s share price on a 15.3% rise this past week, closing Wednesday at $36.81 per share. It bought a 38.7% stake in Northern Tier Energy for $775 million, increase the company’s refining capacity by 89, 500 barrels per day for a total of 242, 500 barrels. Foster, who owns 21.7 million shares or about 25% of the company (though 4 million shares are pledged as collateral against a loan), saw his stake rise $101.8 million in value during the week for a total of $767.9 million.
1997年,保罗·福斯特(Paul Foster)创立了西部炼油公司(Western Refining),此前他有近十年经营相关公司的经历。西部炼油公司的总部位于得克萨斯州的埃尔帕索,这家独立炼油商和贸易商在2006年上市,股票发行价是17美元,并曾达到50美元的高点,但该公司股价因经济衰退前的一笔糟糕收购交易而受到重创。直到2010年,西部炼油公司的股价还不到5美元,当时经济已经开始回暖,而美国石油生产迎来了蓬勃发展。石油热潮——美国现在是全球最大的出口国——已经为这个行业的很多公司带来生气,看起来西部炼油公司也不例外。不过,令西部炼油公司股价在过去一周上涨15.3%的是一笔战略收购交易——其股价在周三交易日报收于36.81美元——该公司以7.75亿美元的价格收购了Northern Tier Energy公司38.7%的股份,这使其自身的日炼油能力增加了89,500桶,达到每日242,500桶。福斯特持有公司2,170万股股票,持股比例为25%(不过,其中400万股股票被抵押为一笔贷款的担保品),过去一周这些股票的价值增长了1.018亿美元,使他的个人净资产达到7.679亿美元。
