Privately held refineries in Shandong province, which imports about a third of the fuel oil the country uses, increased their processing rates to 30.3 percent of designed capacity in the week that ended on July 5, the Shandong-based Oilchem.net said in a statement on its website.
That figure was above the 25.7 percent recorded a week earlier, the lowest such rate seen since April 2010.
