Deep Insight into China Oil & Gas Industry

What’s going on in China’s oil refining industry with incredible influences is not just within the country but to the global economy as well. Are most independent refineries suffering low refining margins? How are tax policies influencing China’s oil refining industry? Any new polices to regulate refineries? How will China solve overcapacity? Change is hard, and change is quick, and it never happens all at once. Both China’s state-owned refineries and independent refineries will enjoy opportunities and face challenges. Both opportunities and challenges are open to international participants.

Heading 2018’s winter, China’s natural gas retains the skyrocketing advance, and China’s natural gas growth speed is expected to linger around 15% in at least three years. However, with faster developments comes bigger supply gap, especially in winter heating season. Peak-shaving and shortage prevention have become the first and foremost matter for Beijing and China’s NOCs. With multiple countermeasures, it is expected the apparent consumption will be fulfilled, at least in the residential sector, but a great potential demand is suppressed simultaneously. Considering the low infrastructure coverage and piped gas import capacity, LNG seems to be the only short-term solution to meet the challenge of Beijing’s blue sky ambition, and more players from the private sector will rub shoulders with NOCs in LNG imports.

SCI offers an unrivalled chance to shape a clear picture of China’s oil refining and gas industries.
