Chinese Product Export Quotas Rise

DISTILLATES

China has issued additional oil product export quotas of 4.5 million mt to four state-owned oil companies to ease inventories against slowly recovering demand according to Platts sources.

  • The new export quotas will allow China to increase gasoline, gasoil and jet fuel export volumes.
  • Sinopec receives 2.4 million mt of the quotas, CNPC gets 1.53 million mt and the rest 420,000 mt and 150,000 mt go to CNOOC and Sinochem, respectively, the sources said.
  • With the release, the total allocation for 2022 stands at 17.5 million mt as of June 7, staying 40.7% lower than the 29.5 million mt volume a year ago.
  • China's exports of the three products dropped 51.7% on the year to 8.59 million mt in the first four months, according to the official data, leaving 7.91 million mt for May onward until the next round of quota allocation.
