It’s allocation day! And no huge surprises in the July allocations; the Saudis held pretty steady from their June provision to send 47 mil bbl to Chinese refiners in July. Within that, there was some chopping and changing as Unipec and PetroChina got slightly larger allotments, while Rongsheng lost 1 mil bbl – but the ‘teapot’ (bigger than most global refineries) by far the largest share! Allocations for May hit a record since the start of The Officials at 48 mil bbl – the highest since July 2024 allocations – while the June and July allocations occupy second and third spots, respectively.
