  • US ULSD crack down 0.2$/bbl at 19.01$/bbl
  • China has issued the third fuel export quota of the year of 8m tons of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, JLC and OilChem said, taking the total to 41m tons compared to 39.99m tons in 2023, according to Bloomberg.
  • China’s major new refinery, Yulong started up one of its two 200kbpd crude units on Sept. 20, according to Reuters sources.
  • Four units in the Scholven section at Germany’s Gelsenkirchen refinery are undergoing works, according to BP.
  • US refiners are set for the lightest autumn refinery maintenance season in three years, with 529kbpd of capacity offline, according to IIR cited by Bloomberg, and about half the offline capacity from last year.
  • The USGC has seen record diesel flows to NWE as favourable freight rates and strong refinery production boosts transatlantic trade, Platts said.
  • Russian oil-product exports rose in the first half of September with total seaborne flows up 10% from the previous month to about 2.2mbpd, according to Bloomberg based on Vortexa data.
  • The volume of fuel that can be shipped on barges via the Rhine is set to decline next week as water levels drop, according to Bloomberg citing Riverlake.
