OIL PRODUCTS

CDU capacity utilisation rates at China’s state-owned refineries are expected to rise in the week to Aug. 1 according to OilChem, as Dalian Xitai completed its maintenance.

  • Among independent refineries in China’s Shandong province, CDU capacity utilisation rates are estimated to fall as some refineries are scale down production amid feedstock supply issues and poor profits.
  • CDU capacity utilisation rates at domestic refineries in China averaged 68.29% last week, down 0.02 percentage points on the previous seven-day period.
  • China’s gasoline demand is projected to remain largely unchanged as summer travel peaks, but downstream players continue purchasing.
  • Gasoil demand is projected to stay low during the seasonal low.
