In September, the average operating load of main refineries and local refineries in Shandong continued to increase month-on-month, but due to factors such as expectations of an increase in retail prices of refined oil products and concerns about the supply of raw materials to subsequent refineries, there are still wholesale sales restrictions in the domestic gasoline and diesel markets. In October, the operating load of Chinese refineries may have declined somewhat, but as gasoline demand weakens and diesel demand increases limited, domestic gasoline and diesel sales restrictions are likely to improve.
