The EIA said China ’s new refinery capacity and strategic inventory stockpiling , combined with flat domestic oil production , were the major factors contributing to the increase in its crude oil imports in 2019 .
Last year , China ’s refinery capacity increased by 1 . 0 million bpd , primarily because two new refining and petrochemical complexes came online with capacities of 0 .4 million bpd each .
As a result , the country ’ s refinery processing also increased to an all -time high in 2019 , averaging 13 .0 million bpd for the year , according to the EIA .

Uneven demand recovery in Africa has led to a divergence in support for Asian transportation fuel markets as diesel and jet fuel requirements weaken while demand for petrol remains robust , industry sources said . The slowdown in Africa ’s diesel and jet fuel demand , in particular , has removed a significant pillar of support from Asian middle distillate markets after buoying them for most of the third quarter , the sources said.

The African continent draws most of its petrol and middle distillate imports from the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean , and an increase in demand typically lends indirect support to Asia, market sources said.
