German Crude Imports at Record High in September

OIL

Seaborne crude flows to Germany have been rising steadily over the last few months, with imports of crude and condensate averaging well above 500 kbd since June and remaining 100 kbd above year-ago levels according to Kpler.

  • Seaborne crude imports to the country settled just shy of 600 kbd in September, representing an increase of about 150 kbd m/m and equivalent to the highest level on record.
  • The uptick comes amid a higher availability of regional grades, with a wider Brent vs Dubai EFS, as well as heavily discounted Russian barrels and COVID-19 related demand loss in China keeping buying interest for these grades in Asia below average.
