Shandong’s Yulong Expected to Start by End-Q3: OilChem

OIL PRODUCTS

Shandong’s 400k b/d Yulong refinery is expected to start commissioning by end-July and will come online by end of Q3, according to OilChem.

  • The refinery is projected to produce around 0.5m mt of refined products in Q4 2024 after accounting for restrictions such as depleting crude oil import quotas.
  • The refinery will likely reach full capacity by 2025 with an expected annual refined oil production of 4.7m mtpa. This will be around 5% of Shandong’s Teapots’ total refined oil production.
  • The Yulong refinery is a political project related to China’s supply side reform. The goal is to boost chemical production capacity while reducing the proportion of refined oil in the product portfolio.
  • It is expected that the yield rates of refined oil from Yulong will be less than 17%, far below the national average in China.
