TREE NEWS update: Petrobras will import 600 million liters of diesel in November, equivalent to about 125,000 barrels per day, to rebuild inventories after scheduled refinery maintenance, logistics and marketing director Angelica Laureano said. The state-owned oil company had expected to need almost no imports in November following large October purchases, but stronger demand and refinery shutdowns changed its forecast.
Petrobras to import 600 million liters of diesel in November to rebuild stocks
The revision from near-zero to 600 million liters in a single month shows how quickly refinery maintenance and demand can flip Petrobras's import balance, making inventory rebuilding a recurring swing factor for diesel trade flows. This affects fuel distributors and logistics costs in Brazil, and by extension the region's import needs. Whether the restocking is completed in November, or spills into December, is the open question, along with how refinery run rates recover after the shutdowns.
