The Officials: The Saudis open the taps

14 April 2025: 16:30 BST

48 mil bbl! Mega! A huge set of Saudi allocations to Chinese refiners. A record breaker in fact, at least since The Officials publication began in June 2024. That’s a lot of crude shifting to the East. Rongsheng got the biggest share with a 15 mil bbl allocation but it was Unipec’s monthly change that grabs the eye: from only 3 mil bbl in April, they’ve surged to 14 mil bbl for May!
