The Roots of Chinese Oil Investment Abroad

  • Are China's oil refineries getting squeezed by a stricter tax regime?
  • CHINA’S smaller, independent oil refineries are getting squeezed by a stricter tax regime, which could accelerate shutdowns in the embattled sector. The refiners, dubbed teapots, are in the crosshairs of the government’s drive to root out overcapacity.
  • How will China's fuel oil tax change affect suppliers?
  • Slowing Chinese demand for fuel oil, a residual refinery product left over once crude oil has been processed into gasoline and diesel fuel, would impact suppliers from Iran, Russia and Malaysia. "The tax change will effectively raise feedstock cost by nearly 400 yuan ($57) per ton.
  • Is China planning a fuel oil tax revamp?
  • China is planning a tax revamp that would raise costs for imported fuel oil, prompting independent refiners to slow purchases in another blow to a sector reeling from thin processing margins amid faltering demand, industry sources said.
  • Why are China's teapot refiners getting tax breaks?
  • The refiners, dubbed teapots, are in the crosshairs of the government’s drive to root out overcapacity. Local authorities, including in the industry’s hub of Shandong province, are targeting tax breaks on one of their cheaper feedstocks, fuel oil, which has hiked costs and forced teapots to cut run rates.
  • Why are China's fuel oil imports stalled?
  • Several senior traders said expectations for the tax change have stalled talks on new imports, ending a brief rebound in China's fuel oil purchases over the past two months. "This (tax policy) is having a big impact on the fuel oil market. Buyers are holding back from talking new deals," said a second source, a Shandong-based trading executive.
  • Are China's Shandong refineries facing a feedstock shortage?
  • China’s Shandong independent refineries are bracing for a potential feedstock shortage in the fourth quarter, as they are nearing the end of their crude import quota utilization and face higher cost of alternative feedstocks, owing to a change in consumption tax regulations that are being planned by Beijing.
