OIL

CDU capacity utilisation rates at China’s state-owned refineries are expected to rise in the week to July 25, according to OilChem, as Dushanzi Petrochem continues ramping up after maintenance.

  • Among independent refineries in China’s Shandong province, CDU capacity utilisation rates are estimated to edge down as maintenance starts at Shangneng Petrochem.
  • CDU capacity utilisation rates at domestic refineries in China averaged 68.31% last week, up 0.50 percentage points on the previous seven-day period.
  • China’s gasoline demand is projected to remain stable as it approaches its summer peak, while retailers maintain high inventory levels.
  • Gasoil demand is to remain in its seasonal low as traders focus on destocking and infrastructure buying remains subdued.
