South Korean refiners raise imports of Russian crude oil to fill storage tanks
Seoul (Platts)--16Apr2015
South Korean oil refiners have increased their imports of Russian crude oil despite relative higher prices as they sought to fill storage tanks to take advantage of a contango in the market.
The country's top oil refiner SK Innovation imported 4.38 million barrels of Russian crude in February, jumping from 767,000 barrels imported a year earlier, according to a report by state-run Korea National Oil Corp. on domestic refiners' crude imports obtained by Platts.
For the first two months of this year, the refiner imported 5.87 million barrels of Russian crude, up 35.6% from 4.33 million barrels in the same period of last year.
Data on its March imports are not available yet.
