China’s Feedstock Imports Into Shandong Retreat In July

OIL

Imports of feedstocks into China via Shandong Provence and Tianjin City by traditional independent refineries and traders fell by 8.2% on the month to 11.2m mt in July, according to OilChem.

  • The fall was attributed to high port inventory and low independent refinery operating rates in the Shandong area.
  • Imports of crude oil by such refineries fell 18.7% on the month to 8.31m mt in July, while fuel oil imports rose 18.6% to 1.52m mt.
  • Feedstock imports are predicted to fall further in August, as high port inventories and continued low operating rates amongst independent Shandong refineries are expected to persist.
