From oilprice
Data points:
  • China's crude oil imports in October: 9.61 million bopd (almost equal to the entire amount produced by any of the three -- the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia) -- and that's just imports
  • independent refiners (teapots) driving demand -- drove demand before import quotas expire
  • last month, China said it will raise by 42% the oil import quota for non-state refiners (teapots) for 2019, as new refinery capacity is planned to enter into operation next year
  • China increasing more Canadian WCS vis a vis WTI due to $50 price spread
