Changing Oil Trade Balance in Asia
Understanding the new drivers of Asia’s oil markets are crucial for all players to stay profitable in a volatile environment. Traditional suppliers are turning into net importers, while net importers such as India are gearing their domestic supply to meet demand as well as export overseas.

Tightening specification in Asia is proving to be another challenge for suppliers. With most prevalent products being heavy, it is vital for suppliers to understand these specification changes and find the sources for low sulphur products to stay competitive.

With oil price remaining high, it is vital for mega buyers such as China and India to secure supply. Knowing where they get their supplies from would enable suppliers to position themselves effectively to meet the needs of these two Asian giants.

Middle East oil companies are posing as a challenge. They just no longer just supply crude to Asia. With their refineries coming onstream, competition to supply into Asia will intensify. Asian refiners are just starting to enjoy greater profit in the last two years. With new competitors entering the market, what strategies are available for Asian refiners to meet these new challenges?

On a positive note, derivatives markets are getting more sophisticated in their choice of products. From the Singapore Exchange, Dubai International Financial Exchange to the Mumbai Exchange, an array of energy derivatives such as OTC energy derivatives, freight forward agreements etc are available to enhance greater profitability.
