Question

Where does China buy all it's Oil for fuel?

Answer 1

I know they get some of it from Alaska.   That's why drilling in ANWAR would NOT lower the cost of gasoline in the US.    Why would they sell it to us cheaper than they could sell it to China?    If the orriginal law that stated any oil going through the Alaska pipeline were enforced, I wouldn't have as much problem with the drilling there, but why risk destroying our land when it would only proffit oil companies and the Chinese?

Answer 2

From the mid east, but China has abundant coal, and well pricess that to petro.

Answer 3

Central asia, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Indonesia, speculating in the Sudan, etc.

Answer 4

China (PetroChina and Sinopec) buy most of their crude supplies from the middle east, with a large part of it coming from Iran.  Iran crude oil is a type called sour crude, which means it contains > 1% sulfur.   The sulfur must be removed before the lower quality crude can be refined into gasoline, thereby increasing the cost of processing. This results in a higher-priced gasoline than one made from the preferred sweet crude oil. Thus sour crude is usually processed into heavy oil such as diesel and fuel oil rather than gasoline to reduce processing cost.
