China’s Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co Ltd will maintain record crude processing rates in April to meet sustained strong domestic sales, a Chinese industry official has said.

April crude run is plan-ned at 1.37-1.38 million tonnes, or about 334,600 barrels per day, steady with March operations.
“Everything is moving according to plan. Sales are matching the production rate and inventories are steady,” said the official close to the refinery.
The 400,000-bpd refinery, in China’s eastern Zhejiang province, is a unit of China’s No.2 oil and gas firm Sinopec Corp.
