Diesel Stocks in NW Europe to Fall in Next Two Months: WoodMac

DIESEL

Wood Mackenzie expect diesel/gasoil stocks in northwest Europe to fall over the next two months before a recovery into Q2.

  • Supplies are tighter due to spring refinery maintenance, as well as “tight supply from key export hubs, and the Red Sea-Suez Canal disruption impact on flows into Europe,” said Emma Howsham at WoodMac.
  • Maintenance at refinery crude distillation units in Europe is reported 110kb/d lower than last year at 440kb/d in Q1 this quarter, Howsham said.
  • Demand is however expected to fall roughly 5% in Q1 from a year earlier in northwest Europe.
  • Shipments of diesel-type fuel into the EU and UK in January were down from last month and this time last year according to Vortexa data. India and the Middle East supplies are diverting around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid Red Sea transit risks.
