Crisis or hiccup? Assessing the logistics impact of China lockdowns COVID lockdowns in major Chinese cities are bottling up freight shipments, but the full impact on global trade won't be clear until this summer.

REFINERY NEWS ROUNDUP: Companies in Europe report higher margins, rates European refiners are reporting improved margins during Q1 and higher rates. Valero sees rising gasoline, diesel demand as it seeks to replace Russian feedstocks Valero Energy reported better-than-expected first-quarter earnings of $905 million as demand for refined products grows post-pandemic and refinery rationalizations cut supply, boosting cracks for both gasoline and diesel -- a trend which is expected to continue. Germany's use of Russian crude cut sharply: economy minister Germany has reduced its use of Russian crude oil use since the invasion of Ukraine to 12% of its needs from 35%, economy minister Robert Habeck said April 26. Sanctions on Russian oil, gas may depend on US getting domestic policies right: think tank OIL FUTURES: Crude rallies as China demand concerns fade, supply disruptions come in focus Crude oil futures moved higher midday as Chinese demand growth concerns eased and focus shifted toward potential supply disruptions stemming from the war in Ukraine. REFINERY NEWS: Russia's Saratov, Taif restart operations: sources International buyers are increasingly shunning Russian-origin products following the invasion of Ukraine, resulting in an accumulation of stocks. REFINERY NEWS: Russia Astrakhan halts products sales ahead of works: sources The refinery typically carries out works in May and June Samp;P Global to include Phoenix Star FSU in Singapore fuel oil cargo, ex-wharf bunker MOC from June 1 Any offer of oil from vessels accredited for the FOB Singapore cargo and ex-wharf bunkers MOC process for Marine Fuel 0.5% and 380 CST HSFO would be on FOB FSU basis. Sellers cannot unilaterally nominate an approved vessel as a loading point in FOB Straits trades. Dated Brent basket differentials diverge amid distillate strength, muted long-haul demand The steep discounts could well mark a floor for Forties, according to another trader. Spain's Cepsa boosts Q1 refined output 21% on year Refined output was down 6% on the quarter while product sales fell 8% and the refining margin narrowed 35%, as increasing gas and other energy costs caused pressure throughout industrial chains. OIL FUTURES: Crude edges up after Chinese lockdowns hit demand outlook Prices were unlikely to be steady for long, and the direction will likely depend on the European treatment of Russian oil, according to analysts. Al-Zour refinery to be operational in few weeks: KIPIC Al-Zour is Kuwait's biggest refining facility. Germany's Uniper loads bunker biofuel blend for Great Eastern Shipping The fuel is of B20M specification, which consists of 20% biofuel and 80% very low sulfur fuel oil. REFINERY NEWS: South Korea's S-Oil restarts CDU after maintenance After the start of regular maintenance in early March, South Korean refiner S-Oil restarted its 240,000 b/d No. 2 crude distillation unit mid-April, market sources said April 26. Japan calls for balanced energy transition approach amid change from Russia's invasion: minister Japan is calling for a balanced approach to the energy transition amid rapidly changing situations in the global energy landscape following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Koichi Hagiuda said April 25. INDONESIA DATA: Feb crude exports more than double on month On a year-on-year basis, crude oil exports were down 82.4%. South Korea's S-Oil sells 75,000 mt straight-run fuel oil for end-April S-Oil regularly sells slurry oil but seldomly sells straight-run fuel oil.
