Guangzhou (JLC), April 2, 2026--JLC successfully concluded its 15th Oil Seminar in Singapore on March 26, which focused on the impact of the conflicts in the Middle East, China's measures in response to feedstock supply disruptions and the prospects for 2026 and beyond.
The event welcomed industry participants from fields of global oil trading, investment banking, risk management, and energy research to explore the latest developments in China's oil market.
Tony Tang, Director of JLC International, kicked off the event by introducing JLC's development and core business over the past two decades. In his speech, he stressed that JLC is committed to providing professional consultation, conference services, and information and data on the Chinese and global commodity markets.
Victor Yang, Senior Analyst at JLC International, first shared his insights on crude oil and clean petroleum products. He provided an in-depth analysis of the measures taken by China and Chinese refiners in response to the feedstock supply disruption and shared his views on the prospects for 2026 and the coming years.
In his second presentation, which covered fuel oil as feedstock for independent refiners and as bunker fuel, he analyzed Chinese independent refiners' fuel oil imports and demand when some supply was disrupted and prices surged, and the developments of China's bonded bunker market.
Chelsea Ye, Analyst at JLC International, provided her perspective on the structural changes and market dynamics in China's biofuel industry. She analyzed the impact of HVO/SAF capacity expansion on the reshaping of the industry and forecast China's waste oil and biofuel exports under a new trade environment.
These presentations were well received by attendees and sparked a lot of discussions about the Chinese oil market and its biofuel industry, covering the prospects for China's oil market when the supply disruption was prolonged, the development of China's biofuel industry amid evolving policies, the country's exports, potential changes in the feedstock for some biofuel projects, the consumption of SAF in China, etc.
Singapore, as a global hub for oil trading, serves as a pivotal cornerstone of JLC's internationalization strategy. Through oil seminars in Singapore, JLC has conveyed its expertise on China's energy industry to the global market. The successful conclusion of the 15th Seminar once again attests to JLC's capabilities in data services, market analysis, and international conference management.
By presenting the upgrading of China's refining industry, pathways for energy transition, and trends of international trade, JLC has not only helped international participants accurately grasp the key of the Chinese market but also played an active role in fostering exchanges between Chinese and foreign energy sectors and enhancing the global influence of China's commodity information services.
Looking ahead, JLC will continue to deepen its engagement in the global energy market.
