China had the highest crude oil refining capacity under maintenance (both planned and unplanned) in Asia in 2019, accounting for about 41% of the region’s share, says GlobalData.
The company’s report, Global Crude Oil Refinery Maintenance Review, 2019 – Asia Incurs Highest Planned Maintenance in the Year, reveals that Asia had a total refining capacity of 8.4 million barrels per day (mmbd) under maintenance (planned and unplanned) in 2019. The region had 7.9mmbd under planned maintenance and 1.3mmbd under unplanned maintenance in 2019. China’s crude oil refining capacity of 3.4mmbd in 2019 was entirely under planned maintenance.
