China sets new records in refinery throughput and crude output in 2025 China’s refinery throughput in 2025 rose 4.1 per cent year on year, while crude oil output grew 1.5 per cent, both all-time highs, government data showed on Monday. The world’s second-largest oil consumer processed 737.59 million tons of crude oil in 2025, the National Bureau of Statistics said. That is the equivalent of about 14.75 million barrels a day (bpd),Reuterscalculations showed, exceeding the previous record of 14.7 million bpd, set in 2023. “Chinese refining runs on average grew by 0.25 million barrels per day year on year in 2025, driven by capacity expansion among national oil companies and the ramp-up of the private mega Yulong refinery,” said Jianan Sun, an analyst at consultancy Energy Aspects. Energy Aspects expects runs at small refineries, known as teapots, to remain resilient, while the start-up of Huajin Aramco Petrochemical Company will continue to support Chinese runs this year, rising by about 250,000 bpd. The increase in throughput also came amid a slowdown in LPG import growth, which was dampened by potential tariffs, said Ye Lin, vice president at Rystad Energy. A 2025 tariff war…

Crude oil output to hit 215m tons this year - Chinadaily.com.cn By Zheng Xin | China Daily | Updated: 2025-12-11 09:45 China's domestic crude oil output is on track to hit a record 215 million metric tons in 2025, underscoring the country's intensified push for energy self-reliance amid persistent geopolitical volatility and tightening global supply chains. This milestone caps a period of strong exploration success and stable output growth, pushing China's oil and gas sector into a new phase of production increase, efficiency gains and green development, said the National Energy Administration. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), China has cumulatively added 105 million tons of new crude oil production capacity. Offshore crude oil has been a major growth driver, consistently accounting for over 60 percent of the nation's total new petroleum output for five consecutive years, it said. According to a recent report released by China National Offshore Oil Corp's Energy Economics Institute, while clean power is developing rapidly and gradually becoming the largest terminal energy source, fossil fuels remain indispensable, serving as the "ballast st…
