Description
China, Asia's biggest oil consumer, saw its January to June crude oil imports post negative growth for the first time in eight years, pulled down by sharp falls in May and June inflows. But there are expectations that the commissioning of new refining capacity would create incremental demand for cargoes. In a wide-ranging discussion with S&P Global Platts Senior Asia Energy Editor, Sambit Mohanty, Platts Global Head of Oil Pricing Vera Blei and Platts Analytics Global Head of Oil Demand Kang Wu share their views on the key global and domestic factors - including OPEC+ decision to ease quota limits and the potential return of Iranian barrels - that could influence the outlook on China's imports in the second half of the year and in 2022.
