The region saw crude throughput surge after PetroChina brought on stream 10-mil-mt/yr Qinzhou refinery in September, which explained the high gasoil output, market sources denoted.


Northeast China still ranked as China's top gasoil producer in the month, with output hitting 2.62-mil mt, according to the data.


Northwest China took the third place, yielding 2.18-mil mt, up 7.57% year-on-year.


Northeast China accumulatively produced 27.46-mil mt of gasoil in the first ten months of this year, highest of all regions, followed by Northwest China and East China, the data also indicated.
