BEIJING, May 16 (Reuters) - Chinese oil refinery
throughput was up 18.9% in April compared with the year
previously, data showed on Tuesday, as refiners maintained high
runs to cater to recovering domestic fuel demand and stock
inventories ahead of the summer travel season.
Total refinery throughput reached 61.1 million tonnes, data
from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed, equivalent
to 14.87 million barrels per day (bpd).
