Could you tell me how much oil refinery products, like gasoline,
diesel fuel and so on, China and South Korea import and from which
countries?

jasonduck-ga,

It took a while, but I just received a comprehensive report on energy
use, imports and exports for China.

The report shows the total amount of oil refinery products (gasoline,
naphtha, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil, etc) imported into China from
each country.  The most recent data is for 2001.

For instance, China imported 3.3 million tons of refined oil products
from Singapore, and 10.8 million tons of crude oil from Iran.   Import
figures from dozens of other countries are also available.

Exports from China are also detailed.


I do not have similar information for South Korea.


Would the China information meet your needs?   Let me know.

jasonduck-ga,


Thanks for your question.


In general, the type of detailed import statistics you requested are
not routinely available for countries in Asia.


However, the US government produces a detailed report on the energy
situation in China that is made fully available on the internet, but
that is available by special request.  I was able to obtain the most
recent copy by contacting:



http://china.lbl.gov/
China Energy Group
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 
Environmental Energy Technologies Division 
Energy Analysis Department   


and requesting the:


China Energy Databook v. 6.0, June 2004


The Databook, which is available as a CD, is organized as follows:


Chapter 1, Energy Reserves and Resources
Chapter 2, Energy Production
Chapter 3, Energy Industry Investment
Chapter 4, Energy Consumption
Chapter 5, Equipment and Activities
Chapter 6, Energy Prices
Chapter 7, Imports and Exports
Chapter 8, Energy and Environment
Chapter 9, International Comparisons
Chapter 10, Economic Indicators and Population


====================

The information you requested about refined oil product imports, is
available in Table 7B.6 of the report:

I trust this information fully answers your question for China.  As I
mentioned a few days ago, data for S. Korea does not appear to be
available.

This is basically U.S. information - I didn't try to check resources
to which I am not subscribed.  I'm a business researcher but do most
of my work inside of the U.S.

Hope you find this useful,

The Key Decision-Makers Affecting China's Energy Sector ...
?Three types of organizations govern China's energy sector:
Ministry-level corporations run the highly centralized petroleum and
nuclear industries (reporting to the State Council, headed by Premier
Li Peng with Zou Jiahua the vice premier for energy issues), while
energy ministries and affiliated national corporations run the
less-centralized electric power and coal industries.
? The State Planning Commission (SPC) has ultimate authority for
energy project approval, budget allocations, and financing
arrangements. The State Science and Technology Commission (SSTC) and
the State Economic and Trade Commission (SETC) are also involved with
energy industry development. The China National Energy Investment
Corporation oversees major investment loans for the energy sector.
Current president: Wang Wenze.
? The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) is responsible for
all onshore upstream oil and gas operations, including shallow water
areas. In the past few years, CNPC has begun the transformation into a
multinational integrated oil company, establishing subsidiaries and
acquiring overseas acreage and refineries in pursuit of export
markets. The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) was
established in 1982 to explore China's offshore petroleum resources.
CNOOC has four regional subsidiaries (Bohai, East China Sea, Nanhai
East, and Nanhai West) and several specialized subsidiaries. Current
president: Wang Yan. China established a third state oil company,
China National Star Petroleum Corporation,in January 1997. The company
is awaiting central government approval of four proposed exploration
ventures with foreign companies. The China National Petrochemical
Corporation (Sinopec) is responsible for petroleum processing and
product distribution, controlling production facilities for 90 percent
of China's refined oil products and over three-quarters of its
petrochemicals. Current president: Sheng Huaren. The China National
Chemicals Import and Export Corporation (Sinochem) is primarily
involved in imports and exports of crude oil, petroleum products, and
natural gas. Current president: Zheng Dunxun.
Key Details About Oil and Gas in China ...
? China's oil and gas industry is almost exclusively government-owned,
with the exception of a limited number of joint ventures, and focussed
on oil development (although the current 5-Year Plan seeks to take
greater advantage of natural gas resources).
? Most oil is produced onshore by the China National Petroleum
Corporation (CNPC). The central government maintains active control
over China's most productive fields, including the Daqing field in the
Songliao Basin of northeastern China and the Shengli and Liaohe fields
in the Bohai Basin of northeastern China. The China National Oil
Development Corporation (CNODC), a CNPC subsidiary, is the contracting
agent for cooperation with foreign companies in the onshore oil
industry. China National Star Petroleum Corporation (established in
1997) is pursuing exploration ventures with foreign companies. By late
1996, almost 1 million square miles (including the southern provinces,
the southeast sector of the Tarim Basin, and areas in northern and
eastern China) were open to foreign companies, and 30 petroleum
contracts worth $770 million had been signed with 35 companies. The
China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has traditionally
sought foreign investment for offshore oil, which represents a
relatively small share of China's oil industry. As of late 1996,
foreign commitments totaled nearly $3 billion (almost 60% of total
offshore exploration and development).
? The China National Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) produces most
of China's refined petroleum products. China's first joint venture
refinery, West Pacific Petrochemical Company (20% owned by Total SA of
France) opened in late 1996. Through 2000, however, China's investment
plans emphasize upgrading and expanding existing refineries, in some
cases to handle imported crude oil from the Middle East.
? The China National Chemicals Import and Export Corporation
(Sinochem) dominates oil and gas trade, with import and export
quantities determined by State planners. However, Sinochem also has
partnerships with CNPC (China National United Oil Corporation, also
referred to as China Oil) and Sinopec (the China International United
Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, also referred to as Unipec). Some
CNOOC production-sharing agreements also allow direct exports from
offshore fields. Future import routes include planned oil and natural
gas pipelines from Russia and Central Asia.
? "Stabilize the East. Develop the West" is the current slogan in
China's petroleum industry, which is applying enhanced oil recovery
techniques to older fields and investing in promising areas of the
West--in particular the remote Tarim Basin in the harsh environment of
the Taklamakan Desert. A less remote, but smaller, target for
development is the Turpan-Hami, or Tuha, Basin. A new 300-mile
pipeline serving both of these areas was completed in 1997.
Territorial disputes in the South China Sea and Spratly Islands
complicate offshore activities. The South China Sea is the most active
offshore development area.
