OIL PRODUCTS

CDU Capacity Utilisation rates at China’s state-owned refineries are expected to continue falling in the week to June 6, according to OilChem, as Sinopec and CNPC plan to cut daily throughput.

  • Among independent refineries in China’s Shandong province, CDU capacity utilisation rates are estimated to fall further with several refineries expected to begin maintenance.
  • CDU capacity utilisation rates at domestic refineries in China averaged 70.15% last week, up 0.98 percentage points on the previous seven-day period.
  • China’s gasoline demand is likely to increase in the coming days as rising temperatures lift vehicle air conditioning use.
  • Gasoil demand is seen as flat, with a rainy season in the southern part of China pressing on demand.
