OIL PRODUCTS

Imports of fuel oil and bitumen into Shandong Province are expected more than double on the month to 1.8m mt in November, according to OilChem.

  • Straight run fuel oil imports alone are forecast to hit 1.3m mt in November, compared to 0.541m mt in October.
  • The surge in exports is the result of depleted crude oil import quotas. Crude quotas also diminished quickly earlier in the year after a crackdown in bitumen imports.
  • Preliminary forecasts of bitumen and fuel oil imports is expected to remain high in December due to a continuous lack of remaining crude quotas, changing flows from Venezuela, and rising stockpiling demand in the winter.
