Summary of article:
There are reports of diesel supply shortages in many places in China, with some gas stations limiting or suspending sales. Analysts have indicated that geopolitical conditions, a decline in refining operations and increased demand during the peak harvest season have combined to cause a regional shortage of diesel.
Videos of diesel shortage in many places in China have been circulating on the internet recently. manygas station Enforce temporary limited supply or even stop the sale of diesel. Some analysts reported that the international geopolitical situation has affected crude oil supplies, causing some Chinese refineries to reduce operations; With the recent increase in demand for diesel during the agricultural harvest season, some gas stations are rapidly running out of inventory.
According to photos and videos recently uploaded by the A large number of gas stations have announced temporary limits on the supply of diesel or even stopped selling it.
The Beijing News quoted an analysis on the 29th that China’s domestic gasoline and diesel production has tightened overall, and the overall operation rate of Shandong local refineries, which are mainly privately owned, remains at a low level; While the overall operating rate of the main refineries with official background has also declined slightly, and the supply and demand of diesel is in a state of “tight balance”.
Based on the analysis of several WeChat public accounts, the reasons for the current shortage of diesel in some places in China include the international geopolitical situation affecting the supply of crude oil, which has also increased the purchase cost; Some domestic refineries have reduced operations due to unstable raw material supplies and increased costs, resulting in a decline in diesel supplies.
Some analysts believe that as crude oil prices rose, some refineries prioritized production of more profitable products and production of economical No. 0 diesel oil decreased. On weekdays, the effect is not apparent when supply and demand are balanced. However, during the recent peak agricultural harvest season, demand for diesel increases inexorably, and some gas stations quickly run out of inventory.
Analysts believe that China’s current supply of diesel is unevenly distributed among regions, with some places having normal supply and others having limited supply. As the international situation is affecting diesel supplies, regional resource forecasting and allocation mechanisms should be improved, resources should be deployed in advance before the peak season of agricultural harvesting and goods transportation, and inventory buffers should be replenished.
Summary FAQ
-
Videos and photos posted online show that some gas stations in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu Zhenjiang, Hubei Huangmei, Yunnan Daguan and Shenzhen have temporarily limited the supply of diesel, or even stopped selling it outright, reflecting uneven regional supply.
-
Analysts said the international geopolitical situation has affected the supply of crude oil and increased the procurement cost. Some refineries have reduced operations due to volatile raw materials and increased costs, resulting in a decline in diesel production and an imbalance between supply and demand.
-
Because the peak agricultural harvest season will bring strong demand for diesel, and some refineries prioritize the production of higher-yield products, the supply of No. 0 diesel is relatively insufficient, causing gas stations in some areas to quickly run out of inventory.
