Sinopec has increased its purchases of Russian ESPO crude to compensate for reduced Middle East oil supplies caused by the Iran war, shifting its import mix towards cheaper, shorter-haul Russian oil while cutting Saudi crude imports significantly.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Sinopec's pivot to Russian oil means you must rethink fuel sourcing and price strategies fast if you trade or compete in Asia-Pacific energy markets. The disruption opens chances for sellers with secure, low-cost crude close to China.
