Oil Shipments from Brazil to Independent Refineries in China Increased by 81.4% in August to 1.21 Million Tons

Eight companies in China, including the trader Taifeng Hairun, imported Brazilian crude oil from the Lula, Iracema, and Sapinhoa fields in the same month. Platts’ research covers the barrels imported to independent refineries through ports in Shandong province and Tianjin, as well as those of the upcoming mega refinery Hengli Petrochemical in Liaoning province and the Zhejiang Petrochemical refinery in Zhejiang province. Among these consumers, 36 were crude oil import quota holders, who received a total quota of 120.83 million tons this year, representing 86.8% of the country’s total import quota allocation for 2018.

The Hongrun refinery also received about 60,000 tons of crude oil from Libya in August, the first in the sector’s series. Libyan crude oil is a light oil with an API of around 37 and sulfur of about 0.67%. Independent refineries shied away from both U.S. and other origins of crude that load from U.S. ports in August, due to the ongoing trade tension between China and the U.S. Sinoenergy offered Canadian oil loading from Portland in the U.S. for August arrival but could not attract buying interest.
