China’s CDU Capacity to Fall on Week: OilChem

OIL

CDU Capacity Utilisation rates at China’s state-owned refineries are expected to continue falling in the week to June 13, according to OilChem, as Dalian Xitai will overhaul the whole refinery.

  • Among independent refineries in China’s Shandong province, CDU capacity utilisation rates are estimated to fall further with several refineries slashing production. Meanwhile, the Wanda Tianhong plant is scheduled to begin maintenance work.
  • CDU capacity utilisation rates at domestic refineries in China averaged 67.69% last week, down 2.46 percentage points on the previous seven-day period.
  • China’s gasoline demand is likely to increase in the coming days amid a travel spike during the Dragon boat festival.
  • Gasoil demand is seen as waning as the harvest season ends and outdoor infrastructure projects slow.
