Singapore. More barrels of South Sudan's Dar Blend crude oil returned to the marine fuel blending pool in Singapore and Malaysia this month as demand from China's refining sector eased, according to market sources and shipping data.
The rise in Sudanese oil imports added to other arbitrage supply, putting pressure on Singapore's low-sulphur fuel oil market towards the end of the month.
Earlier this year, Dar Blend was diverted away from the conventional marine fuel blending outlets to some of China's refineries, market sources said, after the US-Iran war disrupted heavy crude supply from the Middle East.
