Meanwhile, Russell Hardy, CEO of Vitol, the world’s largest independent oil trading company, said on Monday that global oil supplies are expected to improve over the next six or eight weeks due to refinery maintenance, but supplies of high-sulfur crude will remain low
Hardy added, during the “APEC” conference, that the economies producing high-sulfur crude will remain in a better position than the economies producing low-sulfur crude, thanks to the cuts applied by the “OPEC Plus” group and the lack of sufficient quantities of high-sulfur crude for trading.
He continued, “Thanks to the (OPEC Plus) cuts, there is not enough supply (of high-sulphur crude) for all these refineries in India, Kuwait, Jazan, Oman and China.” He added, “They all want to buy high-sulphur oil, but it is not supplied by the West, but rather comes mainl
Hardy also said that Brent crude prices remained “stable” and ranged between $72 and $88 per barrel for about a year, adding that price volatility comes from the product market, not crude.
He continued: “The volatility comes from the products because the refining production capacity is very limited. “A lot of refineries closed during the Covid pandemic and the West does not have the capacity to manufacture the products it needs, while Russian exports are now heading to Asia.”
